How to check if zstd installation has support for lz4?


I installed ztsd on my CentOS 7 system using yum install zstd. How do I check if the zstd installed on my system has support for compressing in lz4?

Relavant link for support of lz4 in zstd - https://github.com/valyala/gozstd/blob/master/zstd/programs/README.md#compilation-variables

Note: My system already had lz4 installed when zstd was installed.


Solution

  • zstd -vV or equivalent zstd --verbose --version

    example outcome :

    zstd -vV
    *** zstd command line interface 64-bits v1.4.4, by Yann Collet ***
    *** supports: zstd, zstd legacy v0.5+, gzip, lz4, lzma, xz
    

    presented in the manpage (--version paragraph) : man zstd or http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/zstd/
