Update
Documentation: - add note that brotli is a "stream" format, not an archive-like - regenerate .1 with Pandoc Build: - drop legacy "BROTLI_BUILD_PORTABLE" option - drop "BROTLI_SANITIZED" definition Code: - c: comb includes - c/enc: extract encoder state into separate header - c/enc: drop designated q10 codepath - c/enc: dealing better with flushing of empty stream - fix MSVC compilation API: - py: use library version instead of one in version.h - c: add plugable API to report consumed input / produced output - c/java: support "lean" prepared dictionaries (without copy of source)

.SH DESCRIPTION
-.P
-\fBbrotli\fP is a generic\-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses
-data using a combination of a modern variant of the \fBLZ77\fR algorithm, Huffman
-coding and 2\-nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to
-the best currently available general\-purpose compression methods\. It is similar
-in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression\.
-.P
-\fBbrotli\fP command line syntax similar to \fBgzip (1)\fP and \fBzstd (1)\fP\|\.
-Unlike \fBgzip (1)\fP, source files are preserved by default\. It is possible to
-remove them after processing by using the \fB\-\-rm\fP \fIoption\fR\|\.
-.P
-Arguments that look like "\fB\-\-name\fP" or "\fB\-\-name=value\fP" are \fIoptions\fR\|\. Every
-\fIoption\fR has a short form "\fB\-x\fP" or "\fB\-x value\fP"\. Multiple short form \fIoptions\fR
-could be coalesced:
-.RS 0
-.IP \(bu 2
-"\fB\-\-decompress \-\-stdout \-\-suffix=\.b\fP" works the same as

default mode is compression;

-\fB\-\-decompress\fP option activates decompression mode;

-Every non\-option argument is a \fIfile\fR entry\. If no \fIfiles\fR are given or \fIfile\fR

- keep source file(s); \fBzstd (1)\fP\-like behaviour
-.IP \(bu 2
-\fB\-n\fP, \fB\-\-no\-copy\-stat\fP:
- do not copy source file(s) attributes

-\fB\-D FILE\fP, \fB\-\-dictionary=FILE\fP:
- use FILE as raw (LZ77) dictionary; same dictionary MUST be used both for
