+  -b#     set input block size (default 262144, max 1310720)
+  -n#     number of compression/decompression runs
+  -c#     number of compression runs
+  -d#     number of decompression runs
+  -S      use safe decompressor (if available)
+  -A      use assembler decompressor (if available)

+More about '-m':
+================
+
+Use '-m' to list all available methods.
+
+You can select methods by number:
+-m71
+
+You can select methods by name:
+-mlzo1x-1
+-mlzo1x-999
+-mlzo1x-1(11)
+
+You can select some predefined method groups:
+-mall
+-mlzo
+-mm1
+-mm99
+-mm999
+-m1x999
+-m1y999
+
+You can specify multiple methods/groups separated by ',':
+-m1,2,3,4
+-m1,2,3,4,lzo1x-1,m99,81
+
+And finally you can use multiple '-m' options:
+-m962,972 -mm99,982,m1
