- # compression level [1-19] (default:3)
- .TP
- .BR \--ultra
- unlocks high compression levels 20+ (maximum 22), using a lot more memory.

- .TP
- .B \-D file
- use `file` as Dictionary to compress or decompress FILE(s)
- .TP
- .BR \--no-dictID
- do not store dictionary ID within frame header (dictionary compression).
- The decoder will have to rely on implicit knowledge about which dictionary to use,
- it won't be able to check if it's correct.
- .TP
- .B \-o file
- save result into `file` (only possible with a single INPUT-FILE)
- .TP
- .BR \-f ", " --force
- overwrite output without prompting
- .TP
- .BR \-c ", " --stdout
- force write to standard output, even if it is the console
- .TP

- enable / disable sparse FS support, to make files with many zeroes smaller on disk.
- Creating sparse files may save disk space and speed up the decompression
- by reducing the amount of disk I/O.
- default : enabled when output is into a file, and disabled when output is stdout.
- This setting overrides default and can force sparse mode over stdout.
- .TP

-
- .SH DICTIONARY BUILDER
- .PP
- \fBzstd\fR offers \fIdictionary\fR compression, useful for very small files and messages.
- It's possible to train \fBzstd\fR with some samples, the result of which is saved into a file called `dictionary`.
- Then during compression and decompression, make reference to the same dictionary.
- It will improve compression ratio of small files.
- Typical gains range from ~10% (at 64KB) to x5 better (at <1KB).
- .TP
- .B \--train FILEs
- use FILEs as training set to create a dictionary. The training set should contain a lot of small files (> 100),
- and weight typically 100x the target dictionary size (for example, 10 MB for a 100 KB dictionary)
- .TP
- .B \-o file
- dictionary saved into `file` (default: dictionary)
- .TP
- .B \--maxdict #
- limit dictionary to specified size (default : 112640)
- .TP
- .B \--dictID #
- A dictionary ID is a locally unique ID that a decoder can use to verify it is using the right dictionary.
- By default, zstd will create a 4-bytes random number ID.
- It's possible to give a precise number instead.
- Short numbers have an advantage : an ID < 256 will only need 1 byte in the compressed frame header,
- and an ID < 65536 will only need 2 bytes. This compares favorably to 4 bytes default.
- However, it's up to the dictionary manager to not assign twice the same ID to 2 different dictionaries.
- .TP
- .B \-s#
- dictionary selectivity level (default: 9)
- the smaller the value, the denser the dictionary, improving its efficiency but reducing its possible maximum size.
- .TP
- .B \--cover=k=#,d=#
- Use alternate dictionary builder algorithm named cover with parameters \fIk\fR and \fId\fR with \fId\fR <= \fIk\fR.
- Selects segments of size \fIk\fR with the highest score to put in the dictionary.
- The score of a segment is computed by the sum of the frequencies of all the subsegments of of size \fId\fR.
- Generally \fId\fR should be in the range [6, 24].
- Good values for \fIk\fR vary widely based on the input data, but a safe range is [32, 2048].
- Example: \fB--train --cover=k=64,d=8 FILEs\fR.
- .TP
- .B \--optimize-cover[=steps=#,k=#,d=#]
- If \fIsteps\fR is not specified, the default value of 32 is used.
- If \fIk\fR is not specified, \fIsteps\fR values in [16, 2048] are checked for each value of \fId\fR.
- If \fId\fR is not specified, the values checked are [6, 8, ..., 16].
-
- Runs the cover dictionary builder for each parameter set saves the optimal parameters and dictionary.
- Prints the optimal parameters and writes the optimal dictionary to the output file.
- Supports multithreading if \fBzstd\fR is compiled with threading support.
-
- The parameter \fIk\fR is more sensitve than \fId\fR, and is faster to optimize over.
- Suggested use is to run with a \fIsteps\fR <= 32 with neither \fIk\fR nor \fId\fR set.
- Once it completes, use the value of \fId\fR it selects with a higher \fIsteps\fR (in the range [256, 1024]).

- .SH ADVANCED COMPRESSION OPTIONS
- .TP
- .B \--zstd[=\fIoptions\fR]
- .PD
- \fBzstd\fR provides 22 predefined compression levels. The selected or default predefined compression level can be changed with advanced compression options.
- The \fIoptions\fR are provided as a comma-separated list. You may specify only the \fIoptions\fR you want to change and the rest will be taken from the selected or default compression level.
- The list of available \fIoptions\fR:
- .RS
-

- .BI strategy= strat
- .PD 0
- .TP
- .BI strat= strat
- .PD
- Specify a strategy used by a match finder.
- .IP ""
- There are 8 strategies numbered from 0 to 7, from faster to stronger:
- 0=ZSTD_fast, 1=ZSTD_dfast, 2=ZSTD_greedy, 3=ZSTD_lazy, 4=ZSTD_lazy2, 5=ZSTD_btlazy2, 6=ZSTD_btopt, 7=ZSTD_btultra.

+ .
+ .TP
+ \fB\-\-ultra\fR
+ unlocks high compression levels 20+ (maximum 22), using a lot more memory\. Note that decompression will also require more memory when using these levels\.

+ .SH "DICTIONARY BUILDER"
+ \fBzstd\fR offers \fIdictionary\fR compression, useful for very small files and messages\. It\'s possible to train \fBzstd\fR with some samples, the result of which is saved into a file called a \fBdictionary\fR\. Then during compression and decompression, reference the same dictionary\. It will improve compression ratio of small files\. Typical gains range from 10% (at 64KB) to x5 better (at <1KB)\.
+ .
+ .TP
+ \fB\-\-train FILEs\fR
+ Use FILEs as training set to create a dictionary\. The training set should contain a lot of small files (> 100), and weight typically 100x the target dictionary size (for example, 10 MB for a 100 KB dictionary)\.
+ .
+ .IP
+ Supports multithreading if \fBzstd\fR is compiled with threading support\. Additional parameters can be specified with \fB\-\-train\-cover\fR\. The legacy dictionary builder can be accessed with \fB\-\-train\-legacy\fR\. Equivalent to \fB\-\-train\-cover=d=8,steps=4\fR\.
+ .
+ .TP
+ \fB\-o file\fR
+ Dictionary saved into \fBfile\fR (default name: dictionary)\.
+ .
+ .TP
+ \fB\-\-maxdict=#\fR
+ Limit dictionary to specified size (default: 112640)\.
+ .
+ .TP
+ \fB\-\-dictID=#\fR
+ A dictionary ID is a locally unique ID that a decoder can use to verify it is using the right dictionary\. By default, zstd will create a 4\-bytes random number ID\. It\'s possible to give a precise number instead\. Short numbers have an advantage : an ID < 256 will only need 1 byte in the compressed frame header, and an ID < 65536 will only need 2 bytes\. This compares favorably to 4 bytes default\. However, it\'s up to the dictionary manager to not assign twice the same ID to 2 different dictionaries\.
+ .
+ .TP
+ \fB\-\-train\-cover[=k#,d=#,steps=#]\fR
+ Select parameters for the default dictionary builder algorithm named cover\. If \fId\fR is not specified, then it tries \fId\fR = 6 and \fId\fR = 8\. If \fIk\fR is not specified, then it tries \fIsteps\fR values in the range [50, 2000]\. If \fIsteps\fR is not specified, then the default value of 40 is used\. Requires that \fId\fR <= \fIk\fR\.
+ .
+ .IP
+ Selects segments of size \fIk\fR with highest score to put in the dictionary\. The score of a segment is computed by the sum of the frequencies of all the subsegments of size \fId\fR\. Generally \fId\fR should be in the range [6, 8], occasionally up to 16, but the algorithm will run faster with d <= \fI8\fR\. Good values for \fIk\fR vary widely based on the input data, but a safe range is [2 * \fId\fR, 2000]\. Supports multithreading if \fBzstd\fR is compiled with threading support\.

+ \fBzstd \-\-train\-cover=k=50 FILEs\fR

+ .TP
+ \fB\-\-train\-legacy[=selectivity=#]\fR
+ Use legacy dictionary builder algorithm with the given dictionary \fIselectivity\fR (default: 9)\. The smaller the \fIselectivity\fR value, the denser the dictionary, improving its efficiency but reducing its possible maximum size\. \fB\-\-train\-legacy=s=#\fR is also accepted\.

+ \fBoverlapLog\fR=\fIovlog\fR, \fBovlog\fR=\fIovlog\fR
+ Determine \fBoverlapSize\fR, amount of data reloaded from previous job\. This parameter is only available when multithreading is enabled\. Reloading more data improves compression ratio, but decreases speed\.
+ .
+ .IP
+ The minimum \fIovlog\fR is 0, and the maximum is 9\. 0 means "no overlap", hence completely independent jobs\. 9 means "full overlap", meaning up to \fBwindowSize\fR is reloaded from previous job\. Reducing \fIovlog\fR by 1 reduces the amount of reload by a factor 2\. Default \fIovlog\fR is 6, which means "reload \fBwindowSize / 8\fR"\. Exception : the maximum compression level (22) has a default \fIovlog\fR of 9\.
