💖 ZLIB_MT_PERF(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about zlib_mt_perf — it lives in the User Commands corner of the manual, and it is literally the IBM Hardware Accelerator Tool. yes, that IBM. hardware accelerator. we're being fancy today. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

zlib_mt_perf — the IBM Hardware Accelerator Tool. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe, no notes. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, here's how you summon it:

zlib_mt_perf usage: zlib_mt_perf [OPTIONS]

that's the usage line, and yes, [OPTIONS] is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. let's get into what those options actually are, because this is the part where it gets good. 💅

  • -X, --pin_cpu — pins each thread to its own cpu. every thread gets its own little home, nobody's wandering around, no cap. 🏠
  • -t, --threads <threads> — how many threads you want running in parallel. the more the merrier, fr fr.
  • -c, --count <count> — the count of files to comp/decomp. i.e. how many files are getting compressed or decompressed. pick your number, bestie.
  • -i, --i_bufsize <i_bufsize> — sets the input buffer size, i_bufsize. 🍓
  • -o, --o_bufsize <o_bufsize> — sets the output buffer size, o_bufsize. matching set, iconic.
  • -D, --deflate — tells it to execute deflate. and listen: the default is inflate, so if you don't pass this, you're inflating, not deflating. important. don't get it twisted. 💀
  • -f, --filename <filename> — points at your filename. the file in question. the main character, honestly.
  • -v, --verbose — turns on verbose mode, so it tells you everything it's doing. chatterbox mode: activated. 🗣️✨
  • -V, --version — prints the version. quick lil flex.
ngl bestie, that's the whole option list — no secret extra flags hiding in the back, no lore drops, this is it. 🎀

and that's the page!! go forth, pin your cpus, pick your thread count, and remember: inflate is the default, so if you wanted deflate you gotta say so. 🫶

sign-off time: this iconic little manual is for zlib_mt_perf version 4.0.20, dated August 2025, and it's filed under ZLIB_MT_PERF(1). mwah. 😘💖 no cap.
