PREZIP-BIN(1)	       Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual		 PREZIP-BIN(1)

NAME
       prezip-bin - prefix zip delta word list compressor/decompressor

SYNOPSIS
       prezip-bin [ -V | -d | -z ]

DESCRIPTION
       prezip-bin  compresses/decompresses sorted word lists from standard in-
       put to standard output.

       Prezip-bin is similar to	word-list-compress(1) but it allows  a	larger
       character set of	{0x00...0x09, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0E...0xFF} and multi-words
       larger	than  255  characters  in  length.   It	 can  also  decompress
       word-list-compress(1) compatible	files.

COMMANDS
       Prezip-bin accepts only one of these commands.

       -V     Display prezip-bin version number	to standard output.

       -d     Read a compressed	word list from standard	input  and  decompress
	      it to standard output.  This can be a word-list-compress(1) or a
	      prezip-bin compressed file.

       -z     Read  a  binary word list	from standard input and	compress it to
	      standard output.

EXAMPLES
       prezip-bin -d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt
	      Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file	wordlist.txt

       prezip-bin -z <wordlist.txt >wordlist.pz	2>errors.txt
	      Compress wordlist.txt to binary file wordlist.pz	and  send  any
	      error messages to	a text file named errors.txt

       LC_COLLATE=C sort -u <wordlist.txt | prezip-bin -z >wordlist.pz
	      Sort  a  word  list, then	pipe it	to prezip-bin to create	a com-
	      pressed binary wordlist.pz file.

       prezip-bin -d <words.pz | aspell	create master ./words.rws
	      Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to  aspell(1)	 to  create  a
	      spelling	list.	Please	check  the  aspell(1)  info manual for
	      proper usage and options.

TIPS
       Prezip-bin is best used with sorted word	list type files.  It is	not  a
       general	purpose	compression program since resulting files may actually
       increase	in size.

       Unlike word-list-compress(1) if your word list has leading or  trailing
       blank  spaces for formatting purposes, you should remove	them first be-
       fore you	compress your list  using  prezip-bin  -z  ,  otherwise	 those
       spaces will be included in the compressed binary	output.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Prezip-bin normally exits with a	return code of 0.  If it encounters an
       error,  a  message  is  sent  to	 standard  error  output (stderr), and
       prezip-bin exits	with a non-zero	 return	 value.	  Error	 messages  are
       listed below:

       (display	help/usage message)
	      Unknown command given on the command line	so prezip-bin displays
	      a	usage message to standard error	output.

       unknown format
	      The input	file appears not to be an expected format, or may pos-
	      sibly be a more advanced format.	The output file	will be	empty.

       corrupt input
	      This  is	only for the decompression command -d.	The input file
	      appeared to be of	a correct format, but something	appears	 wrong
	      now.   There  may	be some	valid data in output, but due to input
	      corruption, the rest of the file can not be completed.

       unexpected EOF
	      The input	file appeared okay but	ended  sooner  than  expected,
	      therefore	the output file	is not complete.
