PyCompressor¶
Pycompressor is a tool for compressing text files into smaller ones, as
well as extracting compressed files back into the original content.
For example, in order to compress one file:
$ pycompress -c /usr/share/dict/words -d /tmp/compressed.zf
The original file, in this example has a size of ~4.8M, and the tool left
the resulting file at /tmp/compressed.zf, with a size of ~2.7M.
In order to extract it:
$ pycompress -x /tmp/compressed.zf -d /tmp/original
You can specify the name of the resulting file with the -d flag. If you
don’t indicate a name for the resulting file, the default will be
<original-file>.comp.
For the full options, run:
$ pycompress -h
