TIPS
Word-list-compress
is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general
purpose compression program since the resulting files may actually
increase in size.
Word-list-compress
accepts up to 255 text characters in the range of {0x21...0xFF}. If your
word list requires a larger character set for certain languages or
longer length for multi-word, scientific, medical, technical or other
use, then it is recommended that you compress your word list using
prezip-bin(1)
.
DIAGNOSTICS
Word-list-compress
normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encounters an error,
a message is sent to standard error output (stderr), and
word-list-compress
exits with a non-zero return value. Error messages are listed below:
(display help/usage message)
Unknown command given on the command line so
word-list-compress
displays a usage message to standard error output.
Corrupt Input
This is only for the decompression command d. The input file is
of an unknown format or the input file/stream is corrupted. You may
have some valid output, but
word-list-compress
could not complete the process. If the input file is a compressed
wordlist but you have no output file, then it may be a newer
prezip-bin(1)
version of compressed file, if so, try decompressing the file with
prezip-bin(1)
instead.
Output Data Error
The output is full, write protected, or has an error and can no longer
be written to.
