NAME

unzck —

decompress a file in the zchunk format

SYNOPSIS

unzck [-c | --stdout] [--dict] [-v | --verbose] file

unzck -? | --help

unzck --usage

unzck --version

DESCRIPTION

The unzck utility extracts the original file from a zchunk-compressed one.

NOTE: The unzck utility will place the new file without the .zck extension in the current working directory, not in the directory where the original file resides.

The unzck utility accepts the following optional arguments:

-c, --stdout: Extract the data to the standard output stream, do not write it to a file.
--dict: Only extract the zstd compression dictionary.
-v, --verbose: Verbose operation; display some diagnostic output.
-?, --help: Display program usage information and exit.
--usage: Display brief program usage information and exit.
--version: Display program version information and exit.

EXIT STATUS

The unzck utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

Create (in the current directory) an uncompressed words file from a compressed one:

unzck
  /mnt/xfer/words.zck

Do not create the words file, but send the contents to the standard output stream:

unzck -c
  /mnt/xfer/words.zck
