NAME
       lzmainfo - show information stored in the .lzma file header

SYNOPSIS
       lzmainfo [--help] [--version] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       lzmainfo shows information stored in the .lzma file header.  It reads the first 13 bytes from the specified file, de‐
       codes  the  header,  and	 prints it to standard output in human readable format.	 If no files are given or file is -,
       standard input is read.

       Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and the dictionary size.  Uncompressed size can  be
       shown  only if the file is in the non-streamed .lzma format variant.  The amount of memory required to decompress the
       file is a few dozen kilobytes plus the dictionary size.

       lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

EXIT STATUS
       0      All is good.

       1      An error occurred.

BUGS
       lzmainfo uses MB while the correct suffix would be MiB (2^20 bytes).  This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA
       Utils.
