KZIP(8)			  BSD System Manager's Manual		       KZIP(8)

NAME
     kzip — compresses kernels

SYNOPSIS
     kzip [-v] [-l loadaddr] kernel

DESCRIPTION
     This program compresses a kernel using gzip(1) to reduce its disk storage
     requirements.  It does not reduce the memory footprint once loaded into
     memory.  You lose all the symbols, so usability is limited.  Its main
     usage is making kernels for install and fixit floppies, etc.

     The following options are available:

     -v	   Verbose mode, reports how much memory is being used by the kernel
	   after compression.  Also allows you to check to make sure your ker‐
	   nel is not going past the 4MB boundary.

     -l loadaddr
	   Specify the address to load the kernel into memory at.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The kzip utility returns with exit code 1 if given invalid arguments.
     Exit code two means kzip was unable to read or process the kernel file.

SEE ALSO
     gzip(1)

HISTORY
     The kzip command appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.5.  Obtained from Linux via
     386BSD -- based on tools/build.c by Linus Torvalds, and ported to 386BSD
     by Serge Vakulenko.
