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 input to
     standard output.

     Prezip-bin is similar to word-list-compress(1) but it allows a larger char-
     acter  set of {0x00...0x09, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0E...0xFF} and multi-words larger
     than 255 characters in  length.   It  can	also  decompress  word-list-com-
     press(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 stan-
	    dard 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 compressed
	    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 gen-
     eral purpose compression program since resulting  files  may  actually  in-
     crease 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  before
     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 er-
     ror,  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 possibly
	    be a more advanced format.	The output file will be empty.

     corrupt input
	    This  is  only for the decompression command -d.  The input file ap-
	    peared 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, there-
	    fore the output file is not complete.
