NAME

       fusecompress_offline  -  decompress  or  compress  data without need to
       mount the compressed virtual filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       fusecompress_offline [-h] [-v] [-c TYPE] [-b SIZE] targetDir

DESCRIPTION

       fusecompress_offline decompress or compress data without need to  mount
       the compressed virtual filesystem. It works like the tar or zip.

       If  compression  method  is set the data will be compressed by required
       compression method. Files already compressed by a different compression
       method  are  recompressed to required compression method. Files already
       compressed by the required compression method are left untouched.

       targetDir may be a single file or a directory. In the latter  case  the
       directory  will  be  processed  recursively  and  all  found  files are
       processed.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Prints help.

       -v, --version
              Prints version.

       -o, --options

              fc_c:arg  set  compression   method   (lzo/bzip2/zlib/lzma/none)
              (default:zlib)

              fc_b:arg set size of the blocks in kilobytes (default:100)

              fc_d run in debug mode

              fc_ma:"arg1;arg2"  files with passed mime types to be always not
              compressed

              fc_mr:"arg1;arg2" files with passed  mime  types  to  be  always
              compressed

              Lzo  is the fastest, bzip2 has high compression ratio, but it is
              the slowest, zlib is somewhere between them in  terms  of  speed
              and  compression  ratio  and lzma has highest compression ratio,
              it’s compression speed is better than bzip2 and decompression is
              fast.  The  none compression method is there for testing only as
              it doesn’t  compress  data,  it  copies  the  data  without  any
              modification (fusecompress’ header is added).

              Block  size  influences  compression  ratio.  Bigger  block size
              allows better compression ratio, but random access to data  will
              be slower and memory requirements will be bigger.
