+NAME
+ lzmainfo - show information stored in the .lzma file header
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ lzmainfo [--help] [--version] [file...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ lzmainfo shows information stored in the .lzma file header. It reads
+ the first 13 bytes from the specified file, decodes the header, and
+ prints it to standard output in human readable format. If no files are
+ given or file is -, standard input is read.
+
+ Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and
+ the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown only if the file
+ is in the non-streamed .lzma format variant. The amount of memory re-
+ quired to decompress the file is a few dozen kilobytes plus the dictio-
+ nary size.
+
+ lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility
+ with LZMA Utils.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+ 0 All is good.
+
+ 1 An error occurred.
+
+BUGS
+ lzmainfo uses MB while the correct suffix would be MiB (2^20 bytes).
+ This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA Utils.
