NAME

hunzip - compress and encrypt dictionary files

SYNOPSIS

hzip [-h] [-P password] [file(s)]

DESCRIPTION

hunzip is a small utility for text file compression and encryption,
especially for sorted dictionaries. "hunspell filename" creates the
compressed file "filename.hz" without removing the original file.

The compression algorithm uses 16-bit Huffman encoding and line-
oriented prefix-suffix compression. It has good compression ratio for
huge sorted word lists.

OPTIONS

-h Display short help description.

-P password
Encrypted compression by an arbitrary length password.
