• Compress a file with LZMA - slow compression, fast decompression:

lrzip path/to/file

• Compress a file with BZIP2 - good middle ground for compression/speed:

lrzip -b path/to/file

• Compress with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:

lrzip -z path/to/file

• Compress with LZO - light compression, extremely fast decompression:

lrzip -l path/to/file

• Compress a file and password protect/encrypt it:

lrzip -e path/to/file

• Override the number of processor threads to use:

lrzip -p 8 path/to/file
