NAME
     advpng - AdvanceCOMP PNG Compression Utility

SYNOPSIS
     advpng [-l, --list] [-z, --recompress] [-0, --shrink-0]
	  [-1, --shrink-fast] [-2, --shrink-normal [-3, --shrink-extra]
	  [-4, --shrink-insane] [-i, --iter N]
	  [-f, --force] [-q, --quiet]
	  [-h, --help] [-V, --version] FILES...

DESCRIPTION
     The  main	purpose  of  this  utility is to recompress png files to get the
     smallest possible size.

     Please note that this utility is not able to  read  a  generic  file.  It's
     granted to be able to read only the files generated by the AdvanceMAME emu-
     lator.

     To compress the files this utility uses the following strategies:
     *	    Remove all ancillary chunks.
     *	    Concatenate all the IDAT chunks.
     *	    Use the 7zip Deflate implementation.

OPTIONS
     -l, --list FILES...
	    List the content of the specified files.

     -z, --recompress FILES...
	    Recompress the specified files. If the -1, -2, -3 options are speci-
	    fied it's 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 it's bigger.

     -1, --shrink-fast
	    Set the compression level to "fast" using the zlib compressor.

     -2, --shrink-normal
	    Set  the compression level to "normal" using the libdeflate compres-
	    sor.  This is the default level of compression.

     -3, --shrink-extra
	    Set the compression level to "extra" using the 7z  compressor.   You
	    can define the compressor iterations with the -i, --iter option.

     -4, --shrink-insane
	    Set  the  compression level to "insane" using the zopfli compressor.
	    You can define the compressor iterations with the -i, --iter option.

     -i, --iter N
	    Define an additional numer of iterations for the 7z and zopfli  com-
	    pressors for modes -3 and -4.  More iterations usually give a better
	    compression,  but may require a lot more time.  Try for example with
	    10, 15, 20, and so on.

     -f, --force
	    Force the use of the new file also if it's bigger.
