--enable-assume-ram=SIZE
On the most common operating systems, XZ Utils is able to
detect the amount of physical memory on the system. This
- information is used to set the default memory usage limit.
+ information is used by the options --memlimit-compress,
+ --memlimit-decompress, and --memlimit when setting the
+ limit to a percentage of total RAM.
On some systems, there is no code to detect the amount of
RAM though. Using --enable-assume-ram one can set how much
memory to assume on these systems. SIZE is given as MiB.
- The default is 128 MiB, which allows decompressing files
- created with "xz -9".
+ The default is 128 MiB.
Feel free to send patches to add support for detecting
the amount of RAM on the operating system you use. See
