They can both be overridden by corresponding command line arguments: \fB\-#\fR for compression level and \fB\-T#\fR for number of compression threads\.
This setting overrides default and can force sparse mode over stdout.
* `--rm`:
remove source file(s) after successful compression or decompression. If used in combination with
- -o, will trigger a confirmation prompt (which can be silenced with -f), as this is a destructive operation.

* `-k`, `--keep`:
keep source file(s) after successful compression or decompression.
This is the default behavior.
`ZSTD_NBTHREADS` can be used to set the number of threads `zstd` will attempt to use during compression.
