lrzip.conf: Configuration File for lrzip

NAME

DESCRIPTION

This file if used, will be read by the lrzip program, parsed, and options passed to the program. Some options may be overridden on the command line. Others are fixed.

The configuration file must be called lrzip.conf. The lrzip program will search for the file automatically in one of three places:

$PWD - Current Directory
/etc/lrzip
$HOME/./lrzip

Parameters are set in PARAMETER=VALUE fashion where any line
beginning with a # or that is blank will be ignored.
Parameter values are not case sensitive.

# SHOWHASH = YES

# Default output directory
# OUTPUTDIRECTORY = location
# Verbosity, Yes or Max
# VERBOSITY = MAX
# Show Progress as file is parsed, YES, NO (yes is default)
# SHOWPROGRESS = NO
# Set Niceness. 19 is default. -20 to 19 is the allowable range
# NICE = 19

# Keep broken or damaged output files, YES
# KEEPBROKEN = YES
# Delete source file after compression

NOTES

Be careful when using DELETEFILES or REPLACEFILE as no warning will be given and lrzip will simply delete the source or replace the output file!
