\pard\nowidctlpar\sb200\cf2\b0\fs18 TianoCompress tool is used to encode or decode files with EFI extension encode or decode algorithm. When \ldblquote -e\rdblquote option specified in command line, then the tool will encode the input file with EFI extension encode algorithm; when \ldblquote -d\rdblquote option specified in command line, then the tool will decode the input file with EFI extension decode algorithm. When decoding file, this tool performs some rudimentary checking on the input files to verify they are indeed compressed by EFI extension algorithm. These checks include: \par
Check the input file header (8 bytes header); \par
The first 4 bytes is component size (not usable); \par
The following 4 bytes is original size which is the input file size and it is the decompressed file size. \par
While encoding file, this tool does not perform any checking.\par
\b0 Encode the input file, which means to compress the input file\par
\b -d\par
\b0 Decode the input file, which means to decompress the input file\par
\b -o, --output Filename\b0\f1\par
\f0 The file containing encoded or decoded content of input file\par
\b --version\par
\b0\f1\tab\f0 Print version and copyright of this program and exit\par
\b -v, --verbose\par
\pard\nowidctlpar\li360\sb200\b0 Turn on verbose output with informational messages printed. This is a count value, so specifying \endash v can be used to increase the verbosity level.\par

\tab\f0 Disable all messages except FATAL ERRORS\par
\b --debug [0-9]\par
\b0\f1\tab\f0 Enable debug messages. nly 0-9 Level is supported.\par
\b -h, --help\par
\b0\f1\tab\f0 Print copyright, version and usage of this program and exit\par
