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.
