# compress
> Compress files using the Unix `compress` command.
> More information: <https://manned.org/compress.1>.
- Compress specific files:
`compress {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
- Compress specific files, ignore non-existent ones:
`compress -f {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
- Specify the maximum compression bits (9-16 bits):
`compress -b {{bits}}`
- Write to `stdout` (no files are changed):
`compress -c {{path/to/file}}`
- Decompress files (functions like `uncompress`):
`compress -d {{path/to/file}}`
- Display compression percentage:
`compress -v {{path/to/file}}`
