Hi Timothy,

Thank you very much for all the testing you have done on lzip. :-)

Is there a way to look up what compression level was used after lzipping
a file?

You can look at the output of -lv. If the dictionary size is smaller than the uncompressed size, then the file can be compressed more. (All my files are already compressed at level -9):

$ lzip -lv *.lz
   dict   memb  trail    uncompressed      compressed   saved  name
18 MiB 1 0 18800640 3040052 83.83% gnuastro-0.4.tar.lz 384 KiB 1 0 389120 66713 82.86% lzip-1.20-pre1.tar.lz 8 MiB 1 0 8373477 546257 93.48% vv52_new.log.lz
  60 KiB     1      0           60908           19056  68.71%  zed.mdwn.lz
                             27624145         3672078  86.71%  (totals)


Best regards,
Antonio.
