NAME
     advdef - AdvanceCOMP Deflate Compression Utility

SYNOPSIS
     advdef [-z, --recompress] [-0, --shrink-store]
	  [-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 the data present in the
     .png, .mng, .gz, .tgz and .svgz files.

     The internal structure of the files isn't	changed.   Only  the  compressed
     data is modified.

OPTIONS
     -z, --recompress FILES...
	    Recompress	the  specified	files. If the -1, -2, -3, -4 options are
	    specified it's used the smallest file choice from the previous  com-
	    pressed  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.

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.
