LRZTAR.1(1)

💅 NAME 💅

lrztar — the iconic directory wrapper for lrzip, bestie ✨

This is the LRZTAR.1(1) page, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lrztar [options] DIRECTORY
lrztar -d [options] DIRECTORY.tar.lrz
lrzuntar [options] DIRECTORY.tar.lrz

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: lrztar is a wrapper — main character energy only — that compresses and decompresses whole directories using lrzip(1), and the result is a corresponding file literally named "DIRECTORY.tar.lrz" 🦋

And lrzuntar? Bestie, it's identical to lrztar -d. Same thing. No cap 💅

Not me also mentioning: lrztar takes the same options as lrzip. That's it. That's the whole deal 🙈
