6. Call parameters in detail

6.10. Parameter --compress

[-z]

If the --compress parameter is set, CIB merge compresses the output file using the zlib method.


Syntax
--compress=<Komprimierungsgrad>
<Komprimierungsgrad>: 1-9

Description

If the --compress parameter is used for compression, the priorities between the optimization time and the result for the desired application must be evaluated. More time will produce very small results, but the fastest possible compression will produce a very small but not minimal result.

The user can therefore set the --compress parameter to an integer value from 1 to 9. The default value is 6.


Examples
--compress
CIB merge komprimiert mit dem Default-Komprimierungsgrad 6.
--inputfile=Optimierung_in.rtf --outputfile=!Optimierung_out.rtf --compress=9

The file is compressed as much as possible. This results in a smaller file size, but a slightly increased time for this merging process.

The use of this parameter is illustrated together with other optimization parameters in the use case example Gap Text.
