@@ -31,29 +31,29 @@ The native file format is the `.lz4` format.
`lz4` supports a command line syntax similar _but not identical_ to `gzip(1)`.
Differences are :
- * `lz4` preserves original files
* `lz4` compresses a single file by default (see `-m` for multiple files)
* `lz4 file1 file2` means : compress file1 _into_ file2
* `lz4 file.lz4` will default to decompression (use `-z` to force compression)
+ * `lz4` preserves original files
* `lz4` shows real-time notification statistics
during compression or decompression of a single file
(use `-q` to silence them)
- * If no destination name is provided, result is sent to `stdout`
- _except if stdout is the console_.
- * If no destination name is provided, __and__ if `stdout` is the console,
- `file` is compressed into `file.lz4`.
- * As a consequence of previous rules, note the following example :
- `lz4 file | consumer` sends compressed data to `consumer` through `stdout`,
- hence it does _not_ create `file.lz4`.
- * Another consequence of those rules is that to run `lz4` under `nohup`,
- you should provide a destination file: `nohup lz4 file file.lz4`,
- because `nohup` writes the specified command's output to a file.
+ * When no destination is specified, result is sent on implicit output,
+ which depends on `stdout` status.
+ When `stdout` _is Not the console_, it becomes the implicit output.
+ Otherwise, if `stdout` is the console, the implicit output is `filename.lz4`.
+ * It is considered bad practice to rely on implicit output in scripts.
+ because the script's environment may change.
+ Always use explicit output in scripts.
+ `-c` ensures that output will be `stdout`.
+ Conversely, providing a destination name, or using `-m`
+ ensures that the output will be either the specified name, or `filename.lz4` respectively.
Default behaviors can be modified by opt-in commands, detailed below.
* `lz4 -m` makes it possible to provide multiple input filenames,
which will be compressed into files using suffix `.lz4`.
- Progress notifications are also disabled by default (use `-v` to enable them).
+ Progress notifications become disabled by default (use `-v` to enable them).
This mode has a behavior which more closely mimics `gzip` command line,
with the main remaining difference being that source files are preserved by default.
* Similarly, `lz4 -m -d` can decompress multiple `*.lz4` files.
