Usage Standard Usage
===== ==============
Standard usage consists of a few common options to control basic behavior. A variety of
parameters including global deduplication are automatically set based on the compression
level.
To compress a file: Archiving
pcompress -c <algorithm> [-l <compress level>] [-s <chunk size>] <file> [<target file>] ---------
pcompress -a [-v] [-l <compress level>] [-s <chunk size>] [-c <algorithm>]
[<file1> <directory1> <file2> ...] [-t <number>] [-S <chunk checksum>]
<archive filename or '-'>
Where <algorithm> can be the folowing: Archives a given set of files and/or directories into a compressed PAX archive. The
lzfx - Very fast and small algorithm based on LZF. PAX datastream is encoded into a custom format compressed file that can only be
lz4 - Ultra fast, high-throughput algorithm reaching RAM B/W at level1. handled by Pcompress.
zlib - The base Zlib format compression (not Gzip).
lzma - The LZMA (Lempel-Ziv Markov) algorithm from 7Zip. -a Enables archive mode where pathnames specified in the command line are
lzmaMt - Multithreaded version of LZMA. This is a faster version but archived using LibArchive and then compressed.
uses more memory for the dictionary. Thread count is balanced
between chunk processing threads and algorithm threads. -l <compress level>
bzip2 - Bzip2 Algorithm from libbzip2. Select a compression level from 1 (least compression, fastest) to 14
ppmd - The PPMd algorithm excellent for textual data. PPMd requires (ultra compression, slow). Default: 6
-s <chunk size>
Archive data is split into chunks that are processed in parallel. This value
specifies the maximum chunk size. Blocks may be smaller than this. Values
can be in bytes or <number><suffix> format where suffix can be k - KB, m - MB,
g - GB. Default: 8m
Larger chunks can produce better compression at the cost of memory.
-c <algorithm>
Specifies the compression algorithm to use. Default algorithm when archiving
is adapt2 (Second Adaptive Mode). This is the ideal mode for archiving giving
best compression gains. However adapt (Adaptive Mode) can be used which is a
little faster but give lower compression gains.
Other algorithms can be used if all the files are of the same known type. For
example ppmd (slow) or libbsc (fast) can be used if all the files only have
ASCII text. See section "Compression Algorithms" for details.
-v Enables verbose mode where each file/directory is printed as it is processed.
-t <number>
Sets the number of threads that Pcompress can use. Pcompress automatically
uses thread count = core count. However with larger chunk size (-s option)
and/or ultra compression levels, large amounts of memory can be used. In this
case thread count can be reduced to reduce memory consumption.
-S <chunk checksum>
Specify then chunk checksum to use. Default: BLAKE256. The following checksums
are available:
CRC64 - Extremely Fast 64-bit CRC from LZMA SDK.
SHA256 - SHA512/256 version of Intel's optimized (SSE,AVX) SHA2 for x86.
SHA512 - SHA512 version of Intel's optimized (SSE,AVX) SHA2 for x86.
KECCAK256 - Official 256-bit NIST SHA3 optimized implementation.
KECCAK512 - Official 512-bit NIST SHA3 optimized implementation.
BLAKE256 - Very fast 256-bit BLAKE2, derived from the NIST SHA3
runner-up BLAKE.
BLAKE512 - Very fast 256-bit BLAKE2, derived from the NIST SHA3
runner-up BLAKE.
The fastest checksum is the BLAKE2 family.
<archive filename>
Pathname of the resulting archive. A '.pz' extension is automatically added
if not already present. This can also be specified as '-' in order to send
the compressed archive stream to stdout.
Single File Compression
-----------------------
pcompress -c <algorithm> [-l <compress level>] [-s <chunk size>] [-p] [<file>]
[-t <number>] [-S <chunk checksum>] [<target file or '-'>]
Takes a single file as input and produces a compressed file. Archiving is not performed.
This can also work as compression pipeline.
-c <algorithm>
See above. Also see section "Compression Algorithms" for details.
-l <compress level>
-s <chunk size>
-t <number>
-S <chunk checksum>
See above.
Note: In singe file compression mode with adapt2 or adapt algorithm, larger
chunks may not produce better compression. Smaller chunks can result
in better data analysis here.
-p Make Pcompress work in full pipeline mode. Data is ingested via stdin
compressed and output via stdout. No filenames are used.
<target file>
Pathname of the compressed file to be created. This can be '-' to send the
compressed data to stdout.
Decompression and Archive extraction
------------------------------------
pcompress -d <compressed file or '-'> [-m] [-K] [<target file or directory>]
-m Enable restoring *all* permissions, ACLs, Extended Attributes etc.
Equivalent to the '-p' option in tar. Ownership is only extracted if run as
root user.
-K Do not overwrite newer files.
-m and -K are only meaningful if the compressed file is an archive. For single file
compressed mode these options are ignored.
<compressed file>
Specifies the compressed file or archive. This can be '-' to indicate reading
from stdin while write goes to <target file>
<target file or directory>
This can be a filename or a directory depending on how the archive was created.
If single file compression was used then this can be the name of the target
file that will hold the uncompressed data.
If this is omitted then an output file is created by appending '.out' to the
compressed filename.
If Archiving was done then this should be the name of a directory into which
extracted files are restored. The directory is created if it does not exist.
If this is omitted the files are extracted into the current directory.
Compression Algorithms
======================
lzfx - Fast, average compression. At high compression levels this can be faster
than LZ4.
Effective Levels: 1 - 5
lz4 - Very Fast, sometimes better compression than LZFX.
Effective Levels: 1 - 3
zlib - Fast, better compression.
Effective Levels: 1 - 9
bzip2 - Slow, much better compression than Zlib.
Effective Levels: 1 - 9
lzma - Very slow. Extreme compression. Recommended: Use lzmaMt variant mentioned
below.
Effective Levels: 1 - 14
Till level 9 it is standard LZMA parameters. Levels 10 - 12 use
more memory and higher match iterations so are slower. Levels
13 and 14 use larger dictionaries upto 256MB and really suck up
RAM. Use these levels only if you have at the minimum 4GB RAM on
your system.
lzmaMt - This is the multithreaded variant of lzma and typically runs faster.
However in a few cases this can produce slightly lesser compression
gain.
PPMD - Slow. Extreme compression for Text, average compression for binary.
In addition PPMD decompression time is also high for large chunks.
This requires lots of RAM similar to LZMA. PPMd requires
at least 64MB X core-count more memory than the other modes. at least 64MB X core-count more memory than the other modes.
Effective Levels: 1 - 14.
libbsc - A Block Sorting Compressor using the Burrows Wheeler Transform Adapt - Synthetic mode with text/binary detection. For pure text data PPMD is
like Bzip2 but runs faster and gives better compression than used otherwise Bzip2 is selected per chunk.
Bzip2 (See: libbsc.com). Effective Levels: 1 - 14
Adapt2 - Slower synthetic mode. For pure text data PPMD is otherwise LZMA is
applied. Can give very good compression ratio when splitting file
into multiple chunks.
Effective Levels: 1 - 14
Since both LZMA and PPMD are used together memory requirements are
large especially if you are also using extreme levels above 10. For
example with 100MB chunks, Level 14, 2 threads and with or without
dedupe, it uses upto 2.5GB physical RAM (RSS).
adapt - Adaptive mode where ppmd or bzip2 will be used per chunk, none - No compression. This is only meaningful with -G or -D. So Dedupe
depending on heuristics. If at least 50% of the input data is
7-bit text then PPMd will be used otherwise Bzip2.
adapt2 - Adaptive mode which includes ppmd and lzma. If at least 80% of
the input data is 7-bit text then PPMd will be used otherwise
LZMA. It has significantly more memory usage than adapt.
none - No compression. This is only meaningful with -D and -E so Dedupe
can be done for post-processing with an external utility. can be done for post-processing with an external utility.
<chunk_size> - This can be in bytes or can use the following suffixes: Enabled features based on Compression Level
g - Gigabyte, m - Megabyte, k - Kilobyte. ===========================================
Larger chunks produce better compression at the cost of memory.
In case of Global Deduplication (see below) this chunk size is
just a hint and may get automatically adjusted.
<compress_level> - Can be a number from 0 meaning minimum and 14 meaning
maximum compression.
<target file> - Optional argument specifying the destination compressed
file. The '.pz' extension is appended. If this is '-' then
compressed output goes to stdout. If this argument is omitted then
source filename is used with the extension '.pz' appended.
To decompress a file compressed using above command: 1 to 3 - No features, just compression and archiving, if needed.
pcompress -d <compressed file> <target file> 4 - Global Deduplication with avg block size of 8KB.
5 - Global Dedup block size 8KB, Adaptive Delta Encoding.
6 to 8 - Global Dedup block size reduced to 4KB, Adaptive Delta Encoding.
9 - Global Dedup block size reduced to 2KB, Adaptive Delta Encoding, Dispack.
10 - Global Dedup block size 2KB, Adaptive Delta Encoding with extra rounds, Dispack,
LZP Preprocessing
10 - 14 - Global Dedup block size 2KB, Adaptive Delta Encoding with extra rounds, Dispack,
LZP Preprocessing, PackJPG filter for Jpegs.
<compressed file> can be '-' to indicate reading from stdin while write goes Encryption
to <target file> ==========
Pcompress supports encryption and authentication in both archive and single-file
compresion modes. Encryption options are discussed below.
To operate as a full pipe, read from stdin and write to stdout: NOTE: When using pipe-mode via -p the only way to provide a password is to use '-w'.
pcompress -p ... See below.
Attempt Rabin fingerprinting based deduplication on a per-chunk basis: -e <ALGO>
Encrypt chunks using the given encryption algorithm. The algo parameter
can be one of AES or SALSA20. Both are used in CTR stream encryption
mode.
The password can be prompted from the user or read from a file. Unique
keys are generated every time pcompress is run even when giving the same
password. Of course enough info is stored in the compresse file so that
the key used for the file can be re-created given the correct password.
Default key length if 256 bits but can be reduced to 128 bits using the
'-k' option.
The Scrypt algorithm from Tarsnap is used
(See: http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html) for generating keys from
passwords. The CTR mode AES mechanism from Tarsnap is also utilized.
-w <pathname>
Provide a file which contains the encryption password. This file must
be readable and writable since it is zeroed out after the password is
read.
-k <key length>
Specify the key length. Can be 16 for 128 bit keys or 32 for 256 bit
keys. Default value is 32 for 256 bit keys.
