SYNOPSIS
advdef [-z, --recompress] [-0, --shrink-store]
[-1, --shrink-fast]

DESCRIPTION
The main purpose of this utility is to
recompress the data present in the .png, .mng, .gz, .tgz and .svgz
files.
The internal structure of the files isncqt changed. Only the
compressed data is modified.
OPTIONS
- -z, --recompress FILES...
- Recompress the specified files. If the -1, -2, -3, -4 options
are specified itcqs used the smallest file choice from the previous
compressed data and the new compression. If the -0 option is
specified the file is always rewritten without any compression.
- -0, --shrink-store
- Disable the compression. The file is only stored and not
compressed. The file is always rewritten also if itcqs bigger.
- -1, --shrink-fast
- Set the compression level to a"fasta".
- -2, --shrink-normal
- Set the compression level to a"normala". This is the default
level of compression.
- -3, --shrink-extra
- Set the compression level to a"extraa".
- -4, --shrink-insane
- Set the compression level to a"insanea". Itcqs VERY SLOW.
- -f, --force
- Force the use of the new file also if itcqs
bigger.
LIMITATIONS
The advdef program cannot be used to recompress
huge files because it needs to allocate memory for both the
complete compressed and uncompressed data.
