NAME
       lzmainfo - show infomation stored in the .lzma file header

SYNOPSIS
       lzmainfo [--help] [--version] [file]...

DESCRIPTION
       lzmainfo  shows information stored in the .lzma file header. It reads the first 13 bytes from the specified file, decodes
       the header, and prints it to standard output in human readable format. If no files are given or file is -, standard input
       is read.

       Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown
       only if the file is in the non-streamed .lzma format variant. The amount of memory required to decompress the file  is  a
       few dozen kilobytes plus the dictionary size.

       lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

EXIT STATUS
       0      All is good.

       1      An error occurred.

BUGS
       lzmainfo  uses  MB  while  the correct suffix would be MiB (2^20 bytes).  This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA
       Utils.
