ZOPFLI(1)

💅 ZOPFLI(1): the zopfli manual, but make it cute 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the ZOPFLI(1) manual — it’s literally the manual page for zopfli 1.0.3. this is the whole vibe: compression tool, options, and absolutely no skipped details. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

zopfli — literally the manual page for zopfli 1.0.3. that’s the name section, and yes, it ate. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the shape of the command is exactly this, bestie:

zopfli [OPTION]... FILE...

so it’s zopfli, then your [OPTION]..., then your FILE.... mwah. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here’s where the flags live. every single one is below, and i’m not leaving any out — main character energy only. 💅

🎀 the flags, one by one 🎀

• -h — gives this help. iconic of it, honestly.
• -c — write the result on standard output, instead of disk filename + '.gz'. so yeah, stdout instead of the .gz file on disk. 💖
• -v — verbose mode. it spills more tea about what’s happening. 🍓
• --i# — perform # iterations (default 15). more gives more compression but is slower. examples: --i10, --i50, --i1000. so you can go from chill to full send, but the clock is gonna clock. 😭
• --gzip — output to gzip format (default). the default default, no cap. 👑
• --zlib — output to zlib format instead of gzip. different format, same bestie energy. 🌈
• --deflate — output to deflate format instead of gzip. yes, another format, and yes, it’s giving options. 💀
• --splitlast — ignored, left for backwards compatibility. literally ignored; it’s just vibing there for backwards compatibility. 🙈

💡 quick vibe check: --gzip is the default, and --i# defaults to 15 iterations. more iterations = more compression but slower. that’s the tradeoff, bestie. 🔥

sign-off bestie: this is from zopfli 1.0.3, dated November 2019, and it’s the ZOPFLI(1) manual. mwah 💋🫶
