NAME
     advzip - AdvanceCOMP ZIP Compression Utility

SYNOPSIS
     advzip [-a, --add] [-x, --extract] [-l, --list]
	  [-z, --recompress] [-t, --test] [-0, --shrink-store]
	  [-1, --shrink-fast] [-2, --shrink-normal] [-3, --shrink-extra]
	  [-4, --shrink-insane] [-i, --iter N]
	  [-k, --keep-file-time] [-p, --pedantic] [-q, --quiet]
	  [-h, --help] [-V, --version] ARCHIVES... [FILES...]

DESCRIPTION
     The main purpose of this utility is to recompress and test the zip archives
     to get the smallest possible size.

     For  recompression the libdeflate implementation is used.	This implementa-
     tion generally gives 5-10% more compression than the zLib Deflate implemen-
     tation, and it's also generally faster.

     For experimental purpose also the 7-Zip LZMA algorithm  is  available  with
     the  -N  option. In this case, the generated zips WILL NOT BE USABLE by any
     other program. To make them usable you need to recompress them without  the
     -N  option. Generally this algorithm gives 10-20% more compression than the
     zLib Deflate implementation.

OPTIONS
     -a, --add ARCHIVE FILES...
	    Create the specified archive with  the  specified  files.  You  must
	    specify only one archive.

     -x, --extract ARCHIVE
	    Extract  all  the  files  on the specified archive. You must specify
	    only one archive.

     -l, --list ARCHIVES...
	    List the content of the specified archives.

     -z, --recompress ARCHIVES...
	    Recompress the specified archives. If the -1, -2, -3, -4 options are
	    specified, it's used the smallest file  choice  from:  the	previous
	    compressed data, the new compression and the uncompressed format. If
	    the  -0  option is specified the archive is always rewritten without
	    any compression.

     -t, --test ARCHIVES...
	    Test the specified archives. The tests may be extended with  the  -p
	    option.

     -k, --keep-file-time
	    When recompressing with -z keep the .zip file time.

     -p, --pedantic
	    Be	pedantic on the zip tests. If this flag is enabled some more ex-
	    tensive tests on the zip integrity are done. These tests are  gener-
	    ally not done by other zip utilities.

     -0, --shrink-store
	    Disable the compression. The file is only stored and not compressed.
	    This  option  is very useful to expand the archives of .png and .mp3
	    files. These files are already compressed, trying to  compress  them
	    another time is really a waste of time and resource.

     -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.
