     zstd(1) -- zstd, zstdmt, unzstd, zstdcat - Compress or decompress .zst files
     ============================================================================
     
     SYNOPSIS
     --------
     
     `zstd` [*OPTIONS*] [-|_INPUT-FILE_] [-o _OUTPUT-FILE_]
     
     `zstdmt` is equivalent to `zstd -T0`
    
    `unzstd` is equivalent to `zstd -d`
    
    `zstdcat` is equivalent to `zstd -dcf`
    
    
    DESCRIPTION
    -----------
    `zstd` is a fast lossless compression algorithm and data compression tool,
    with command line syntax similar to `gzip (1)` and `xz (1)`.
    It is based on the **LZ77** family, with further FSE & huff0 entropy stages.
    `zstd` offers highly configurable compression speed,
    with fast modes at > 200 MB/s per core,
    and strong modes nearing lzma compression ratios.
    It also features a very fast decoder, with speeds > 500 MB/s per core.
    
    `zstd` command line syntax is generally similar to gzip,
    but features the following differences :
    
      - Source files are preserved by default.
        It's possible to remove them automatically by using the `--rm` command.
      - When compressing a single file, `zstd` displays progress notifications
        and result summary by default.
        Use `-q` to turn them off.
      - `zstd` does not accept input from console,
        but it properly accepts `stdin` when it's not the console.
      - `zstd` displays a short help page when command line is an error.
        Use `-q` to turn it off.
    
    `zstd` compresses or decompresses each _file_ according to the selected
    operation mode.
    If no _files_ are given or _file_ is `-`, `zstd` reads from standard input
    and writes the processed data to standard output.
    `zstd` will refuse to write compressed data to standard output
    if it is a terminal : it will display an error message and skip the _file_.
    Similarly, `zstd` will refuse to read compressed data from standard input
    if it is a terminal.
    
    Unless `--stdout` or `-o` is specified, _files_ are written to a new file
    whose name is derived from the source _file_ name:
    
    * When compressing, the suffix `.zst` is appended to the source filename to
      get the target filename.
    * When decompressing, the `.zst` suffix is removed from the source filename to
      get the target filename
    
    ### Concatenation with .zst files
    It is possible to concatenate `.zst` files as is.
    `zstd` will decompress such files as if they were a single `.zst` file.
    
    OPTIONS
    -------
    
    ### Integer suffixes and special values
    In most places where an integer argument is expected,
    an optional suffix is supported to easily indicate large integers.
    There must be no space between the integer and the suffix.
    
    * `KiB`:
        Multiply the integer by 1,024 (2\^10).
        `Ki`, `K`, and `KB` are accepted as synonyms for `KiB`.
    * `MiB`:
        Multiply the integer by 1,048,576 (2\^20).
        `Mi`, `M`, and `MB` are accepted as synonyms for `MiB`.
    
    ### Operation mode
    If multiple operation mode options are given,
    the last one takes effect.
    
    * `-z`, `--compress`:
        Compress.
        This is the default operation mode when no operation mode option is specified
        and no other operation mode is implied from the command name
        (for example, `unzstd` implies `--decompress`).
    * `-d`, `--decompress`, `--uncompress`:
        Decompress.
    * `-t`, `--test`:
        Test the integrity of compressed _files_.
        This option is equivalent to `--decompress --stdout` except that the
        decompressed data is discarded instead of being written to standard output.
        No files are created or removed.
    * `-b#`:
        Benchmark file(s) using compression level #
    * `--train FILEs`:
        Use FILEs as a training set to create a dictionary.
        The training set should contain a lot of small files (> 100).
    * `-l`, `--list`:
        Display information related to a zstd compressed file, such as size, ratio, and checksum.
        Some of these fields may not be available.
        This command can be augmented with the `-v` modifier.
   
   ### Operation modifiers
   
   * `-#`:
       `#` compression level \[1-19] (default: 3)
   * `--ultra`:
       unlocks high compression levels 20+ (maximum 22), using a lot more memory.
       Note that decompression will also require more memory when using these levels.
   * `--fast[=#]`:
       switch to ultra-fast compression levels.
       If `=#` is not present, it defaults to `1`.
       The higher the value, the faster the compression speed,
       at the cost of some compression ratio.
       This setting overwrites compression level if one was set previously.
       Similarly, if a compression level is set after `--fast`, it overrides it.
   * `-T#`, `--threads=#`:
       Compress using `#` working threads (default: 1).
       If `#` is 0, attempt to detect and use the number of physical CPU cores.
       In all cases, the nb of threads is capped to `ZSTDMT_NBWORKERS_MAX`,
       which is either 64 in 32-bit mode, or 256 for 64-bit environments.
       This modifier does nothing if `zstd` is compiled without multithread support.
   * `--single-thread`:
       Does not spawn a thread for compression, use a single thread for both I/O and compression.
       In this mode, compression is serialized with I/O, which is slightly slower.
       (This is different from `-T1`, which spawns 1 compression thread in parallel of I/O).
       This mode is the only one available when multithread support is disabled.
       Single-thread mode features lower memory usage.
       Final compressed result is slightly different from `-T1`.
   * `--auto-threads={physical,logical} (default: physical)`:
       When using a default amount of threads via `-T0`, choose the default based on the number
       of detected physical or logical cores.
   * `--adapt[=min=#,max=#]` :
       `zstd` will dynamically adapt compression level to perceived I/O conditions.
       Compression level adaptation can be observed live by using command `-v`.
       Adaptation can be constrained between supplied `min` and `max` levels.
       The feature works when combined with multi-threading and `--long` mode.
       It does not work with `--single-thread`.
       It sets window size to 8 MB by default (can be changed manually, see `wlog`).
       Due to the chaotic nature of dynamic adaptation, compressed result is not reproducible.
       _note_ : at the time of this writing, `--adapt` can remain stuck at low speed
       when combined with multiple worker threads (>=2).
   * `--long[=#]`:
       enables long distance matching with `#` `windowLog`, if not `#` is not
       present it defaults to `27`.
       This increases the window size (`windowLog`) and memory usage for both the
       compressor and decompressor.
       This setting is designed to improve the compression ratio for files with
       long matches at a large distance.
   
       Note: If `windowLog` is set to larger than 27, `--long=windowLog` or
       `--memory=windowSize` needs to be passed to the decompressor.
   * `-D DICT`:
       use `DICT` as Dictionary to compress or decompress FILE(s)
   * `--patch-from FILE`:
       Specify the file to be used as a reference point for zstd's diff engine.
       This is effectively dictionary compression with some convenient parameter
       selection, namely that windowSize > srcSize.
   
       Note: cannot use both this and -D together
       Note: `--long` mode will be automatically activated if chainLog < fileLog
           (fileLog being the windowLog required to cover the whole file). You
           can also manually force it.
           Node: for all levels, you can use --patch-from in --single-thread mode
                   to improve compression ratio at the cost of speed
       Note: for level 19, you can get increased compression ratio at the cost
           of speed by specifying `--zstd=targetLength=` to be something large
           (i.e 4096), and by setting a large `--zstd=chainLog=`
   * `--rsyncable` :
       `zstd` will periodically synchronize the compression state to make the
       compressed file more rsync-friendly. There is a negligible impact to
       compression ratio, and the faster compression levels will see a small
       compression speed hit.
       This feature does not work with `--single-thread`. You probably don't want
       to use it with long range mode, since it will decrease the effectiveness of
       the synchronization points, but your mileage may vary.
   * `-C`, `--[no-]check`:
       add integrity check computed from uncompressed data (default: enabled)
   * `--[no-]content-size`:
       enable / disable whether or not the original size of the file is placed in
       the header of the compressed file. The default option is
       --content-size (meaning that the original size will be placed in the header).
   * `--no-dictID`:
       do not store dictionary ID within frame header (dictionary compression).
       The decoder will have to rely on implicit knowledge about which dictionary to use,
       it won't be able to check if it's correct.
   * `-M#`, `--memory=#`:
       Set a memory usage limit. By default, Zstandard uses 128 MB for decompression
       as the maximum amount of memory the decompressor is allowed to use, but you can
       override this manually if need be in either direction (ie. you can increase or
       decrease it).
   
       This is also used during compression when using with --patch-from=. In this case,
       this parameter overrides that maximum size allowed for a dictionary. (128 MB).
   
       Additionally, this can be used to limit memory for dictionary training. This parameter
       overrides the default limit of 2 GB. zstd will load training samples up to the memory limit
       and ignore the rest.
   * `--stream-size=#` :
       Sets the pledged source size of input coming from a stream. This value must be exact, as it
       will be included in the produced frame header. Incorrect stream sizes will cause an error.
       This information will be used to better optimize compression parameters, resulting in
       better and potentially faster compression, especially for smaller source sizes.
   * `--size-hint=#`:
       When handling input from a stream, `zstd` must guess how large the source size
       will be when optimizing compression parameters. If the stream size is relatively
       small, this guess may be a poor one, resulting in a higher compression ratio than
       expected. This feature allows for controlling the guess when needed.
       Exact guesses result in better compression ratios. Overestimates result in slightly
       degraded compression ratios, while underestimates may result in significant degradation.
   * `-o FILE`:
       save result into `FILE`
   * `-f`, `--force`:
       disable input and output checks. Allows overwriting existing files, input
       from console, output to stdout, operating on links, block devices, etc.
   * `-c`, `--stdout`:
       write to standard output (even if it is the console)
   * `--[no-]sparse`:
       enable / disable sparse FS support,
       to make files with many zeroes smaller on disk.
       Creating sparse files may save disk space and speed up decompression by
       reducing the amount of disk I/O.
       default: enabled when output is into a file,
       and disabled when output is stdout.
       This setting overrides default and can force sparse mode over stdout.
   * `--rm`:
       remove source file(s) after successful compression or decompression. If used in combination with
       -o, will trigger a confirmation prompt (which can be silenced with -f), as this is a destructive operation.
   * `-k`, `--keep`:
       keep source file(s) after successful compression or decompression.
       This is the default behavior.
   * `-r`:
       operate recursively on directories.
       It selects all files in the named directory and all its subdirectories.
       This can be useful both to reduce command line typing,
       and to circumvent shell expansion limitations,
       when there are a lot of files and naming breaks the maximum size of a command line.
   * `--filelist FILE`
       read a list of files to process as content from `FILE`.
       Format is compatible with `ls` output, with one file per line.
   * `--output-dir-flat DIR`:
       resulting files are stored into target `DIR` directory,
       instead of same directory as origin file.
       Be aware that this command can introduce name collision issues,
       if multiple files, from different directories, end up having the same name.
       Collision resolution ensures first file with a given name will be present in `DIR`,
       while in combination with `-f`, the last file will be present instead.
   * `--output-dir-mirror DIR`:
       similar to `--output-dir-flat`,
       the output files are stored underneath target `DIR` directory,
       but this option will replicate input directory hierarchy into output `DIR`.
   
       If input directory contains "..", the files in this directory will be ignored.
       If input directory is an absolute directory (i.e. "/var/tmp/abc"),
       it will be stored into the "output-dir/var/tmp/abc".
       If there are multiple input files or directories,
       name collision resolution will follow the same rules as `--output-dir-flat`.
   * `--format=FORMAT`:
       compress and decompress in other formats. If compiled with
       support, zstd can compress to or decompress from other compression algorithm
       formats. Possibly available options are `zstd`, `gzip`, `xz`, `lzma`, and `lz4`.
       If no such format is provided, `zstd` is the default.
   * `-h`/`-H`, `--help`:
       display help/long help and exit
   * `-V`, `--version`:
       display version number and exit.
       Advanced : `-vV` also displays supported formats.
       `-vvV` also displays POSIX support.
       `-q` will only display the version number, suitable for machine reading.
   * `-v`, `--verbose`:
       verbose mode, display more information
   * `-q`, `--quiet`:
       suppress warnings, interactivity, and notifications.
       specify twice to suppress errors too.
   * `--no-progress`:
       do not display the progress bar, but keep all other messages.
   * `--show-default-cparams`:
       Shows the default compression parameters that will be used for a
       particular src file. If the provided src file is not a regular file
       (eg. named pipe), the cli will just output the default parameters.
       That is, the parameters that are used when the src size is unknown.
   * `--`:
       All arguments after `--` are treated as files
   
   ### Restricted usage of Environment Variables
   
   Using environment variables to set parameters has security implications.
   Therefore, this avenue is intentionally restricted.
   Only `ZSTD_CLEVEL` and `ZSTD_NBTHREADS` are currently supported.
   They set the compression level and number of threads to use during compression, respectively.
   
   `ZSTD_CLEVEL` can be used to set the level between 1 and 19 (the "normal" range).
   If the value of `ZSTD_CLEVEL` is not a valid integer, it will be ignored with a warning message.
   `ZSTD_CLEVEL` just replaces the default compression level (`3`).
   
   `ZSTD_NBTHREADS` can be used to set the number of threads `zstd` will attempt to use during compression.
   If the value of `ZSTD_NBTHREADS` is not a valid unsigned integer, it will be ignored with a warning message.
   `ZSTD_NBTHREADS` has a default value of (`1`), and is capped at ZSTDMT_NBWORKERS_MAX==200. `zstd` must be
   compiled with multithread support for this to have any effect.
   
   They can both be overridden by corresponding command line arguments:
   `-#` for compression level and `-T#` for number of compression threads.
   
   
   DICTIONARY BUILDER
   ------------------
   `zstd` offers _dictionary_ compression,
   which greatly improves efficiency on small files and messages.
   It's possible to train `zstd` with a set of samples,
   the result of which is saved into a file called a `dictionary`.
   Then during compression and decompression, reference the same dictionary,
   using command `-D dictionaryFileName`.
   Compression of small files similar to the sample set will be greatly improved.
   
   * `--train FILEs`:
       Use FILEs as training set to create a dictionary.
       The training set should contain a lot of small files (> 100),
       and weight typically 100x the target dictionary size
       (for example, 10 MB for a 100 KB dictionary).
       `--train` can be combined with `-r` to indicate a directory rather than listing all the files,
       which can be useful to circumvent shell expansion limits.
   
       `--train` supports multithreading if `zstd` is compiled with threading support (default).
       Additional parameters can be specified with `--train-fastcover`.
       The legacy dictionary builder can be accessed with `--train-legacy`.
       The slower cover dictionary builder can be accessed with `--train-cover`.
       Default is equivalent to `--train-fastcover=d=8,steps=4`.
   * `-o file`:
       Dictionary saved into `file` (default name: dictionary).
   * `--maxdict=#`:
       Limit dictionary to specified size (default: 112640).
   * `-#`:
       Use `#` compression level during training (optional).
       Will generate statistics more tuned for selected compression level,
       resulting in a _small_ compression ratio improvement for this level.
   * `-B#`:
       Split input files into blocks of size # (default: no split)
   * `-M#`, `--memory=#`:
       Limit the amount of sample data loaded for training (default: 2 GB). See above for details.
   * `--dictID=#`:
       A dictionary ID is a locally unique ID
       that a decoder can use to verify it is using the right dictionary.
       By default, zstd will create a 4-bytes random number ID.
       It's possible to give a precise number instead.
       Short numbers have an advantage : an ID < 256 will only need 1 byte in the
       compressed frame header, and an ID < 65536 will only need 2 bytes.
       This compares favorably to 4 bytes default.
       However, it's up to the dictionary manager to not assign twice the same ID to
       2 different dictionaries.
   * `--train-cover[=k#,d=#,steps=#,split=#,shrink[=#]]`:
       Select parameters for the default dictionary builder algorithm named cover.
       If _d_ is not specified, then it tries _d_ = 6 and _d_ = 8.
       If _k_ is not specified, then it tries _steps_ values in the range [50, 2000].
       If _steps_ is not specified, then the default value of 40 is used.
       If _split_ is not specified or split <= 0, then the default value of 100 is used.
       Requires that _d_ <= _k_.
       If _shrink_ flag is not used, then the default value for _shrinkDict_ of 0 is used.
       If _shrink_ is not specified, then the default value for _shrinkDictMaxRegression_ of 1 is used.
   
       Selects segments of size _k_ with highest score to put in the dictionary.
       The score of a segment is computed by the sum of the frequencies of all the
       subsegments of size _d_.
       Generally _d_ should be in the range [6, 8], occasionally up to 16, but the
       algorithm will run faster with d <= _8_.
       Good values for _k_ vary widely based on the input data, but a safe range is
       [2 * _d_, 2000].
       If _split_ is 100, all input samples are used for both training and testing
       to find optimal _d_ and _k_ to build dictionary.
       Supports multithreading if `zstd` is compiled with threading support.
       Having _shrink_ enabled takes a truncated dictionary of minimum size and doubles
       in size until compression ratio of the truncated dictionary is at most
       _shrinkDictMaxRegression%_ worse than the compression ratio of the largest dictionary.
   
       Examples:
   
       `zstd --train-cover FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-cover=k=50,d=8 FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-cover=d=8,steps=500 FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-cover=k=50 FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-cover=k=50,split=60 FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-cover=shrink FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-cover=shrink=2 FILEs`
   
   * `--train-fastcover[=k#,d=#,f=#,steps=#,split=#,accel=#]`:
       Same as cover but with extra parameters _f_ and _accel_ and different default value of split
       If _split_ is not specified, then it tries _split_ = 75.
       If _f_ is not specified, then it tries _f_ = 20.
       Requires that 0 < _f_ < 32.
       If _accel_ is not specified, then it tries _accel_ = 1.
       Requires that 0 < _accel_ <= 10.
       Requires that _d_ = 6 or _d_ = 8.
   
       _f_ is log of size of array that keeps track of frequency of subsegments of size _d_.
       The subsegment is hashed to an index in the range [0,2^_f_ - 1].
       It is possible that 2 different subsegments are hashed to the same index, and they are considered as the same subsegment when computing frequency.
       Using a higher _f_ reduces collision but takes longer.
   
       Examples:
   
       `zstd --train-fastcover FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-fastcover=d=8,f=15,accel=2 FILEs`
   
   * `--train-legacy[=selectivity=#]`:
       Use legacy dictionary builder algorithm with the given dictionary
       _selectivity_ (default: 9).
       The smaller the _selectivity_ value, the denser the dictionary,
       improving its efficiency but reducing its possible maximum size.
       `--train-legacy=s=#` is also accepted.
   
       Examples:
   
       `zstd --train-legacy FILEs`
   
       `zstd --train-legacy=selectivity=8 FILEs`
   
   
   BENCHMARK
   ---------
   
   * `-b#`:
       benchmark file(s) using compression level #
   * `-e#`:
       benchmark file(s) using multiple compression levels, from `-b#` to `-e#` (inclusive)
   * `-i#`:
       minimum evaluation time, in seconds (default: 3s), benchmark mode only
   * `-B#`, `--block-size=#`:
       cut file(s) into independent blocks of size # (default: no block)
   * `--priority=rt`:
       set process priority to real-time
   
   **Output Format:** CompressionLevel#Filename : IntputSize -> OutputSize (CompressionRatio), CompressionSpeed, DecompressionSpeed
   
   **Methodology:** For both compression and decompression speed, the entire input is compressed/decompressed in-memory to measure speed. A run lasts at least 1 sec, so when files are small, they are compressed/decompressed several times per run, in order to improve measurement accuracy.
   
   ADVANCED COMPRESSION OPTIONS
   ----------------------------
   ### -B#:
   Select the size of each compression job.
   This parameter is only available when multi-threading is enabled.
   Each compression job is run in parallel, so this value indirectly impacts the nb of active threads.
   Default job size varies depending on compression level (generally  `4 * windowSize`).
   `-B#` makes it possible to manually select a custom size.
   Note that job size must respect a minimum value which is enforced transparently.
   This minimum is either 512 KB, or `overlapSize`, whichever is largest.
   Different job sizes will lead to (slightly) different compressed frames.
   
   ### --zstd[=options]:
   `zstd` provides 22 predefined compression levels.
   The selected or default predefined compression level can be changed with
   advanced compression options.
   The _options_ are provided as a comma-separated list.
   You may specify only the options you want to change and the rest will be
   taken from the selected or default compression level.
   The list of available _options_:
   
   - `strategy`=_strat_, `strat`=_strat_:
       Specify a strategy used by a match finder.
   
       There are 9 strategies numbered from 1 to 9, from faster to stronger:
       1=ZSTD\_fast, 2=ZSTD\_dfast, 3=ZSTD\_greedy,
       4=ZSTD\_lazy, 5=ZSTD\_lazy2, 6=ZSTD\_btlazy2,
       7=ZSTD\_btopt, 8=ZSTD\_btultra, 9=ZSTD\_btultra2.
   
   - `windowLog`=_wlog_, `wlog`=_wlog_:
       Specify the maximum number of bits for a match distance.
   
       The higher number of increases the chance to find a match which usually
       improves compression ratio.
       It also increases memory requirements for the compressor and decompressor.
       The minimum _wlog_ is 10 (1 KiB) and the maximum is 30 (1 GiB) on 32-bit
       platforms and 31 (2 GiB) on 64-bit platforms.
   
       Note: If `windowLog` is set to larger than 27, `--long=windowLog` or
       `--memory=windowSize` needs to be passed to the decompressor.
   
   - `hashLog`=_hlog_, `hlog`=_hlog_:
       Specify the maximum number of bits for a hash table.
   
       Bigger hash tables cause less collisions which usually makes compression
       faster, but requires more memory during compression.
   
       The minimum _hlog_ is 6 (64 B) and the maximum is 30 (1 GiB).
   
   - `chainLog`=_clog_, `clog`=_clog_:
       Specify the maximum number of bits for a hash chain or a binary tree.
   
       Higher numbers of bits increases the chance to find a match which usually
       improves compression ratio.
       It also slows down compression speed and increases memory requirements for
       compression.
       This option is ignored for the ZSTD_fast strategy.
   
       The minimum _clog_ is 6 (64 B) and the maximum is 29 (524 Mib) on 32-bit platforms
       and 30 (1 Gib) on 64-bit platforms.
   
   - `searchLog`=_slog_, `slog`=_slog_:
       Specify the maximum number of searches in a hash chain or a binary tree
       using logarithmic scale.
   
       More searches increases the chance to find a match which usually increases
       compression ratio but decreases compression speed.
   
       The minimum _slog_ is 1 and the maximum is 'windowLog' - 1.
   
   - `minMatch`=_mml_, `mml`=_mml_:
       Specify the minimum searched length of a match in a hash table.
   
       Larger search lengths usually decrease compression ratio but improve
       decompression speed.
   
       The minimum _mml_ is 3 and the maximum is 7.
   
   - `targetLength`=_tlen_, `tlen`=_tlen_:
       The impact of this field vary depending on selected strategy.
   
       For ZSTD\_btopt, ZSTD\_btultra and ZSTD\_btultra2, it specifies
       the minimum match length that causes match finder to stop searching.
       A larger `targetLength` usually improves compression ratio
       but decreases compression speed.
   t
       For ZSTD\_fast, it triggers ultra-fast mode when > 0.
       The value represents the amount of data skipped between match sampling.
       Impact is reversed : a larger `targetLength` increases compression speed
       but decreases compression ratio.
   
       For all other strategies, this field has no impact.
   
       The minimum _tlen_ is 0 and the maximum is 128 Kib.
   
   - `overlapLog`=_ovlog_,  `ovlog`=_ovlog_:
       Determine `overlapSize`, amount of data reloaded from previous job.
       This parameter is only available when multithreading is enabled.
       Reloading more data improves compression ratio, but decreases speed.
   
       The minimum _ovlog_ is 0, and the maximum is 9.
       1 means "no overlap", hence completely independent jobs.
       9 means "full overlap", meaning up to `windowSize` is reloaded from previous job.
       Reducing _ovlog_ by 1 reduces the reloaded amount by a factor 2.
       For example, 8 means "windowSize/2", and 6 means "windowSize/8".
       Value 0 is special and means "default" : _ovlog_ is automatically determined by `zstd`.
       In which case, _ovlog_ will range from 6 to 9, depending on selected _strat_.
   
   - `ldmHashLog`=_lhlog_, `lhlog`=_lhlog_:
       Specify the maximum size for a hash table used for long distance matching.
   
       This option is ignored unless long distance matching is enabled.
   
       Bigger hash tables usually improve compression ratio at the expense of more
       memory during compression and a decrease in compression speed.
   
       The minimum _lhlog_ is 6 and the maximum is 30 (default: 20).
   
   - `ldmMinMatch`=_lmml_, `lmml`=_lmml_:
       Specify the minimum searched length of a match for long distance matching.
   
       This option is ignored unless long distance matching is enabled.
   
       Larger/very small values usually decrease compression ratio.
   
       The minimum _lmml_ is 4 and the maximum is 4096 (default: 64).
   
   - `ldmBucketSizeLog`=_lblog_, `lblog`=_lblog_:
       Specify the size of each bucket for the hash table used for long distance
       matching.
   
       This option is ignored unless long distance matching is enabled.
   
       Larger bucket sizes improve collision resolution but decrease compression
       speed.
   
       The minimum _lblog_ is 1 and the maximum is 8 (default: 3).
   
   - `ldmHashRateLog`=_lhrlog_, `lhrlog`=_lhrlog_:
       Specify the frequency of inserting entries into the long distance matching
       hash table.
   
       This option is ignored unless long distance matching is enabled.
   
       Larger values will improve compression speed. Deviating far from the
       default value will likely result in a decrease in compression ratio.
   
       The default value is `wlog - lhlog`.
   
   ### Example
   The following parameters sets advanced compression options to something
   similar to predefined level 19 for files bigger than 256 KB:
   
   `--zstd`=wlog=23,clog=23,hlog=22,slog=6,mml=3,tlen=48,strat=6
