### Differences to xz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `pixz` automatically indexes tarballs during compression
|
|
|
|
|
- `pixz` defaults to using all available CPU cores, while `xz` defaults to using only one core
|
|
|
|
|
- `pixz` provides `-i` and `-o` command line options to specify input and output file
|
|
|
|
|
- `pixz` does not support the command line option `-z` or `--compress`
|
|
|
|
|
- `pixz` does not support the command line option `-c` or `--stdout`
|
|
|
|
|
- `-f` command line option is incompatible
|
|
|
|
|
- `-l` command line option output differs
|
|
|
|
|
- `-q` command line option is incompatible
|
|
|
|
|
- `-t` command line option is incompatible
