That is a very clunky interface.  I suspect it is partly that way 
because "-y and -n" are already used in dumpadm(1M) to determine if 
savecore should run or not and -u is already used to mean update.

Instead of "-z y" what about -Z
Instead of "-z n" what about -U

Or "-S compress" "-S uncompress"  "-S" denoting "savecore options".
