34 .Nd compresses kernels
41 This program compresses a kernel using
43 to reduce its disk storage requirements.
44 It does not reduce the memory footprint once loaded into memory.
45 You lose all the symbols, so usability is limited.
46 Its main usage is making kernels for install and fixit floppies, etc.
48 The following options are available:
51 Verbose mode, reports how much memory is being used by the kernel
52 after compression. Also allows you to check to make sure your kernel
53 is not going past the 4MB boundary.
55 Specify the address to load the kernel into memory at.
60 utility returns with exit code 1 if given invalid arguments.
63 was unable to read or process the kernel file.
