# lrztar
> A wrapper for `lrzip` to simplify compression of directories.
> See also: `tar`, `lrzuntar`, `lrunzip`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/lrztar>.
- Archive a directory with tar, then compress:
`lrztar {{path/to/directory}}`
- Same as above, with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:
`lrztar {{[-z|--zpaq]}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Specify the output file:
`lrztar {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Override the number of processor threads to use:
`lrztar {{[-p|--threads]}} {{8}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Force overwriting of existing files:
`lrztar {{[-f|--force]}} {{path/to/directory}}`
