                        original root become a subdirectory in the new root
                        called <name>, rather than adding the new source items
                        to the original root

                and choose the best compression.
                Available strategies: default, filtered, huffman_only,
                run_length_encoded and fixed
        lzma (no options)

                Where <algorithm> is one of:
                        lzo1x_1
                        lzo1x_1_11

                        lzo1x_999 (default)
          -Xcompression-level <compression-level>
                <compression-level> should be 1 .. 9 (default 8)
                Only applies to lzo1x_999 algorithm
        lz4
          -Xhc
                Compress using LZ4 High Compression
        xz
          -Xbcj filter1,filter2,...,filterN
                Compress using filter1,filter2,...,filterN in turn
                (in addition to no filter), and choose the best compression.
                Available filters: x86, arm, armthumb, powerpc, sparc, ia64
          -Xdict-size <dict-size>
                Use <dict-size> as the XZ dictionary size.  The dictionary size
                can be specified as a percentage of the block size, or as an
                absolute value.  The dictionary size must be less than or equal
                to the block size and 8192 bytes or larger.  It must also be
                storable in the xz header as either 2^n or as 2^n+2^(n+1).
                Example dict-sizes are 75%, 50%, 37.5%, 25%, or 32K, 16K, 8K
                etc.
