PS. In my opinion `-o' option appends '.lz' excessively (during
compression, decompression is fine).
This is because of the original use of -o in lzip; providing a virtual
name for the uncompressed file when reading from standard input.
I may change it now to behave more like -o in other programs, but lzip
will still need to change the name when compressing and splitting the
output in volumes.
I'm afraid I can't change it yet because zupdate (from zutils) depends on
lzip appending a '.lz' extension to the argument of -o. Redirection can be
used to write the compressed output to an arbitrary file:
'lzip -c file > foo'.
Best regards,
