[1mNAME
     [0msqueeze - compress binary executables

[1mSYNOPSIS
     squeeze [0m[ [1m-v [0m] file ...
     [1msqueeze [0m[ [1m-v [0m] [1m-o [0moutfile infile

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0m_S_q_u_e_e_z_e compresses executable binaries such that the kernel
     can still demand page from them.  This is useful to save
     disk space.

     _S_q_u_e_e_z_e can either compress files in place (the first vari-
     ant above) or squeeze just one file to a different place
     using the [1m-o [0mflag.

     The [1m-v [0mflag causes compression statistics to be printed on
     the standard output.

     _S_q_u_e_e_z_e builds a temporary squeezed file and then copies
     that file to the destination file so that if the squeeze
     fails the old destination contents are preserved.	During
     the copy, the file mode is preserved, as is the ownership
     (if the compression is being performed by the superuser).

     Note that _s_q_u_e_e_z_e does not change the length of a file, only
     its disk occupancy.
