This parameter defines a loose target: compressed blocks will target this size "on average", but individual blocks can still be larger or smaller.
Enabling this feature can decrease compression speed by up to ~10% at level 1.
Higher levels will see smaller relative speed regression, becoming invisible at higher settings.
-* `-o FILE`:
- save result into `FILE`.
* `-f`, `--force`:
disable input and output checks. Allows overwriting existing files, input
from console, output to stdout, operating on links, block devices, etc.
During decompression and when the output destination is stdout, pass-through
unrecognized formats as-is.
* `-c`, `--stdout`:
- write to standard output (even if it is the console); keep original files unchanged.
+ write to standard output (even if it is the console); keep original files (disable `--rm`).
+* `-o FILE`:
+ save result into `FILE`.
+ This command is in conflict with `-c`.
+ If both are present on the command line, the last expressed one wins.
* `--[no-]sparse`:
enable / disable sparse FS support,
to make files with many zeroes smaller on disk.
