Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression. More information: <https://github.com/facebook/zstd>.

  • Compress a file into a new file with the `.zst` suffix:
    zstd path/to/file
  • Decompress a file:
    zstd --decompress path/to/file.zst
  • Decompress to `stdout`:
    zstd --decompress --stdout path/to/file.zst
  • Compress a file specifying the compression level, where 1=fastest, 19=slowest and 3=default:
    zstd -level path/to/file
  • Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):
    zstd --ultra -level path/to/file
