lrzip: extreme compression, but very slow.
$ lrzip -z ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "lrzip -z ${filename}" has the following components:

  • "lrzip" is the name of the command or the program being executed.
  • "-z" is an option or flag that is passed to the "lrzip" command, indicating the specific operation to be performed. In this case, the "-z" flag is used to compress the file specified by the ${filename} variable.
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file that is being compressed. It is assumed that the actual name of the file is referenced by the variable ${filename}.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
