zstd

Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression.

More information.

• Compress a file into a new file with the `.zst` suffix:

zstd {file}

• Decompress a file:

zstd -d {file}.zst

• Decompress to stdout:

zstd -dc {file}.zst

• Compress a file specifying the compression level, where 1=fastest, 19=slowest and 3=default:

zstd -{level} {file}

• Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):

zstd --ultra -{level} {file}
