Description: CLI tool for zstd (and other) compression
This is an alternate tool for zstd compression, one that takes a lot
less space than the official one. It also behaves in a way consistent
with other Unix compressors: the level goes only up to 9, the original
copy of the file is not kept, etc.
.
The executable can also replace gzip xz bzip2.
