TIPS

Word-list-compress is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general
purpose compression program since the resulting files may actually increase in size.

Word-list-compress accepts up to 255 text characters in the range of {0x21...0xFF}. If
your word list requires a larger character set for certain languages or longer length for
multi-word, scientific, medical, technical or other use, then it is recommended that you
compress your word list using prezip-bin(1)

DIAGNOSTICS

Word-list-compress normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encounters an error, a
message is sent to standard error output (stderr), and word-list-compress exits with a
non-zero return value. Error messages are listed below:

(display help/usage message)
Unknown command given on the command line so word-list-compress displays a usage
message to standard error output.

Corrupt Input
This is only for the decompression command d. The input file is of an unknown
format or the input file/stream is corrupted. You may have some valid output, but
word-list-compress could not complete the process. If the input file is a
compressed wordlist but you have no output file, then it may be a newer
prezip-bin(1) version of compressed file, if so, try decompressing the file with
prezip-bin(1) instead.

Output Data Error
The output is full, write protected, or has an error and can no longer be written
to.
