.SH NAME
\fBlz4\fR - Extremely fast compression algorithm
.SH SYNOPSIS
.TP 5
\fBlz4\fR [\fBOPTIONS\fR] [-|INPUT-FILE] <OUTPUT-FILE>
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBlz4\fR is an extremely fast lossless compression algorithm. It is based on
the \fBLZ77\fR family of compression scheme. At the compression speed of 400
MB/s per core, \fBlz4\fR is also scalable with multi-core CPUs. It features
an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically
reaching the RAM speed limits on multi-core systems. \fBlz4\fR supports
following options
