objZ(1)
NAME
  objZ - Compression utility

SYNOPSIS
  objZ [ options ]  input

FLAGS
  The objZ command accepts the following options:

  -u  Decompress input.	 The input file must be in ALPHAMAGICZ compressed
      object file format.

  -v  Print the argument count, input length, and output length.

DESCRIPTION
  The objZ command takes a regular, read/write file in ALPHAMAGIC format as
  input and converts it to ALPHAMAGICZ compressed format. The compressed
  output file replaces the input file.

  When the -u flag is specified, the objZ command takes as input a file in
  ALPHAMAGICZ format (that is, a file previously produced by the objZ command
  or by the as command with the -compress flag) and converts it to ALPHAMAGIC
  format.

ERRORS
  When compressing an input file, the objZ command generates errors if the
  file is not a regular file (for example, a directory or device special
  file), if the file is read-only, if its header cannot be read, if the file
  is not in ALPHAMAGIC format, or if a compression failure occurs.

  When decompressing an input file, the objZ command generates errors if the
  file is not a regular file, if the file is read-only, if the file is not in
  ALPHAMAGICZ format, or if a decompression failure occurs.
