NAME
       prezip-bin - prefix zip delta word list compressor/decompressor

SYNOPSIS
       prezip-bin [ -V | -d | -z ]

DESCRIPTION
       prezip-bin compresses/decompresses sorted word lists from standard input to standard output.

       Prezip-bin  is  similar	to  word-list-compress(1)  but it allows a larger character set of {0x00...0x09, 0x0B, 0x0C,
       0x0E...0xFF} and multi-words larger than 255 characters in length.  It can also decompress word-list-compress(1) com‐
       patible files.

COMMANDS
       Prezip-bin accepts only one of these commands.

       -V     Display prezip-bin version number to standard output.

       -d     Read a compressed word list from standard input  and  decompress	it  to	standard  output.   This  can  be  a
	      word-list-compress(1) or a prezip-bin compressed file.

       -z     Read a binary word list from standard input and compress it to standard output.

EXAMPLES
       prezip-bin -d wordlist.txt
	      Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt

       prezip-bin -z wordlist.pz 2>errors.txt
	      Compress wordlist.txt to binary file wordlist.pz and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt

       LC_COLLATE=C sort -u wordlist.pz
	      Sort a word list, then pipe it to prezip-bin to create a compressed binary wordlist.pz file.

       prezip-bin -d aspell(1) to create a spelling list.  Please check the aspell(1) info
	      manual for proper usage and options.

TIPS
       Prezip-bin is best used with sorted word list type files.  It is not a general purpose compression program since	 re‐
       sulting files may actually increase in size.

       Unlike  word-list-compress(1)  if  your	word  list has leading or trailing blank spaces for formatting purposes, you
       should remove them first before you compress your list using prezip-bin -z , otherwise those spaces will be  included
       in the compressed binary output.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Prezip-bin  normally  exits  with a return code of 0.  If it encounters an error, a message is sent to standard error
       output (stderr), and prezip-bin exits with a non-zero return value.  Error messages are listed below:

       (display help/usage message)
	      Unknown command given on the command line so prezip-bin displays a usage message to standard error output.

       unknown format
	      The input file appears not to be an expected format, or may possibly be a more advanced  format.	 The  output
	      file will be empty.

       corrupt input
	      This  is	only for the decompression command -d.	The input file appeared to be of a correct format, but some‐
	      thing appears wrong now.	There may be some valid data in output, but due to input corruption, the rest of the
	      file can not be completed.

       unexpected EOF
	      The input file appeared okay but ended sooner than expected, therefore the output file is not complete.
