|
.Nm
|
|

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility compresses a disk image file so that the
|
|
.Xr geom_uzip 4
|
|
class will be able to decompress the resulting image at run-time.
|
|
This allows for a significant reduction of size of disk image at
|
|
the expense of some CPU time required to decompress the data each
|
|
time it is read.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
works in two phases:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
An
|
|
.Ar infile
|
|
image is split into clusters; each cluster is compressed using
|
|
.Xr zlib 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr lzma 3 .
|
|
.It
|
|
The resulting set of compressed clusters along with headers that allow
|
|
locating each individual cluster is written to the output file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl o Ar outfile
|
|
Name of the output file
|
|
.Ar outfile .
|
|
The default is to use the input name with the suffix
|
|
.Pa .uzip
|
|
for the
|
|
.Xr zlib 3
|
|
compression or
|
|
.Pa .ulzma
|
|
for the
|
|
.Xr lzma 3 .
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Use
|
|
.Xr lzma 3
|
|
compression algorithm instead of the default
|
|
.Xr zlib 3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr lzma 3
|
|
provides noticeable better compression levels on the same data set
|
|
at the expense of much slower compression speed (10-20x) and somewhat slower
|
|
decompression (2-3x).
|
|
.It Fl s Ar cluster_size
|
|
Split the image into clusters of
|
|
.Ar cluster_size
|
|
bytes, 16384 bytes by default.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar cluster_size
|
|
should be a multiple of 512 bytes.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Display verbose messages.
|
|
.It Fl Z
|
|
Disable zero-blocks detection and elimination.
|
|
When this option is set, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
would compress empty blocks (i.e. clusters that consist of only zero bytes)
|
|
just as it would any other block.
|
|
When the option is not set, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects such blocks and skips them from the output.
|
|
Setting
|
|
.Fl Z
|
|
results is slight increase of compressed image size, typically less than 0.1%
|
|
of a final size of the compressed image.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Enable de-duplication.
|
|
When the option is enabled the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects identical blocks in the input and replaces each subsequent occurence
|
|
of such block with pointer to the very first one in the output.
|
|
Setting this option results is moderate decrease of compressed image size,
|
|
typically around 3-5% of a final size of the compressed image.
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Print summary about the compression ratio as well as output
|
|
file size after file has been processed.
|
|
.It Fl j Ar compression_jobs
|
|
Specify the number of compression jobs that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
runs in parallel to speed up compression.
|
|
When option is not specified the number of jobs set to be equal
|
|
to the value of
|
|
.Va hw.ncpu
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variable.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The compression ratio largely depends on the cluster size used.
|
|
.\" The following two sentences are unclear: how can gzip(1) be
|
|
.\" used in a comparable fashion, and wouldn't a gzip-compressed
|
|
.\" image suffer from larger cluster sizes as well?
|
|
For large cluster sizes (16K and higher), typical compression ratios
|
|
are only 1-2% less than those achieved with
|
|
.Xr gzip 1 .
|
|
However, it should be kept in mind that larger cluster
|
|
sizes lead to higher overhead in the
|
|
.Xr geom_uzip 4
|
|
class, as the class has to decompress the whole cluster even if
|
|
only a few bytes from that cluster have to be read.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
inserts a short shell script at the beginning of the generated image,
|
|
which makes it possible to
|
|
.Dq run
|
|
the image just like any other shell script.
|
|
The script tries to load the
|
|
.Xr geom_uzip 4
|
|
class if it is not loaded, configure the image as an
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
disk device using
|
|
.Xr mdconfig 8 ,
|
|
and automatically mount it using
|
|
.Xr mount_cd9660 8
|
|
on the mount point provided as the first argument to the script.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The de-duplication is a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
specific feature and while it does not require any changes to on-disk
|
|
compressed image format, however it did require some matching changes to the
|
|
.Xr geom_uzip 4
|
|
to handle resulting images correctly.
