 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
-\fBzstd\fR is a fast lossless compression algorithm and data compression tool, with command line syntax similar to \fBgzip (1)\fR and \fBxz (1)\fR\. It is based on the \fBLZ77\fR family, with further FSE & huff0 entropy stages\. \fBzstd\fR offers highly configurable compression speed, with fast modes at > 200 MB/s per code, and strong modes nearing lzma compression ratios\. It also features a very fast decoder, with speeds > 500 MB/s per core\.
