Bug Fixes (CLI)
-
Fix: --bench duration parsing:
--bench [N]was not correctly consuming the duration argument. The value was left as a positional argument, causing the next filename to be misinterpreted as a duration. All three forms now work correctly:-b2, --bench=2, --bench 2. -
-B / --block-size in help text: The
--block-sizeoption was functional since v0.9.0 but missing fromzxc --helpoutput. Now documented: -B, --block-size Block size: 4K..2M, power of 2 {256K}.
Documentation

tar --use-compress-program='zxc -5' -cf archive.tar.zxc data/ - Universal pipes:
