rezip(1)
β¨ NAME β¨
okay bestie, welcome to rezip(1) β the hxtools glow-up for your compressed files. she recompresses everything recursively. no cap. π
π SYNTAX π
rezip {ziparchive|directory}...
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so like, rezip recompresses ZIP archives (yes, even the ones cosplaying as JAR files, and OpenDocuments too, we see them π), plus PNG and JPEG images β and it does it with maximum lossless compression settings. lossless, so no quality loss, just a lil squeeze. β¨
it's giving "fix your default settings era". because most files get compressed with default settings at first, and those are usually lower than maximum. so rezip comes through to improve on files that were originally only compressed with those default settings. periodt. π
π OPTIONS π
rezip takes directory names or ZIP archives as input.
passing a file object that is not ZIP is not supported, and will leave that file unprocessed. so don't try it bestie, she'll just ignore it. π
π SEE ALSO π
