**Compress or expand files with ZIP algorithm**


Description
===========

sczip can compress and decompress data using the ZIP algorithm (PKZIP). It
is not meant to supersede any available packagers but a little helper to
decompress zipped SeisComPML formats. Like GZip, sczip can only handle one file
and does not support archives. It compresses a byte stream and outputs a byte
stream.

Examples
========

Decompress a file

.. code-block:: sh

   sczip -d file.xml.zip -o file.xml

.. code-block:: sh

   sczip -d file.xml.zip -o file.xml

Compress a file

.. code-block:: sh

   sczip file.xml -o file.xml.zip

.. code-block:: sh

   sczip < file.xml > file.xml.zip

Command-Line Options
====================

.. program:: sczip

:program:`sczip file.dat -o file.zip`

:program:`sczip file.dat -d -o file.zip`


Generic
-------

.. option:: -h, --help

   Show help message.

.. option:: -V, --version

   Show version information.

.. option:: --config-file arg

   Use alternative configuration file. When this option is
   used the loading of all stages is disabled. Only the
   given configuration file is parsed and used. To use
   another name for the configuration create a symbolic
   link of the application or copy it. Example:
   scautopick \-> scautopick2.

.. option:: --plugins arg

   Load given plugins.

.. option:: -D, --daemon

   Run as daemon. This means the application will fork itself
   and doesn't need to be started with \&.

.. option:: --auto-shutdown arg

   Enable\/disable self\-shutdown because a master module shutdown.
   This only works when messaging is enabled and the master
   module sends a shutdown message \(enabled with \-\-start\-stop\-msg
   for the master module\).

.. option:: --shutdown-master-module arg

   Set the name of the master\-module used for auto\-shutdown.
   This is the application name of the module actually
   started. If symlinks are used, then it is the name of
   the symlinked application.

.. option:: --shutdown-master-username arg

   Set the name of the master\-username of the messaging
   used for auto\-shutdown. If \"shutdown\-master\-module\" is
   given as well, this parameter is ignored.


Verbosity
---------

.. option:: --verbosity arg

   Verbosity level [0..4]. 0:quiet, 1:error, 2:warning, 3:info,
   4:debug.

.. option:: -v, --v

   Increase verbosity level \(may be repeated, eg. \-vv\).

.. option:: -q, --quiet

   Quiet mode: no logging output.

.. option:: --component arg

   Limit the logging to a certain component. This option can
   be given more than once.

.. option:: -s, --syslog

   Use syslog logging backend. The output usually goes to
   \/var\/lib\/messages.

.. option:: -l, --lockfile arg

   Path to lock file.

.. option:: --console arg

   Send log output to stdout.

.. option:: --debug

   Execute in debug mode.
   Equivalent to \-\-verbosity\=4 \-\-console\=1 .

.. option:: --log-file arg

   Use alternative log file.


Mode
----

.. option:: -d, --decompress

   Decompress.

.. option:: -o, --output file

   Output file name. Default is stdout.
