Decompress file

$ unlzma [file.lzma]

$ unlzma -k [file.lzma]

$ unlzma -c [file.lzma]

$ unlzma -f [file.lzma]

$ unlzma -v [file.lzma]

unlzma [-k] [-c] [-f] [options] files

unlzma decompresses files that were compressed with the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain Algorithm) compression format. It is functionally equivalent to running xz --format=lzma --decompress and is provided as a convenience command within the xz-utils package.
By default, unlzma replaces the compressed .lzma file with the decompressed output, removing the original. The -k flag preserves the original compressed file, and -c writes the decompressed data to standard output for piping to other commands.
The LZMA format is a legacy compression format that has been largely superseded by the XZ format, which uses the improved LZMA2 algorithm with better multi-threading support. unlzma remains useful for decompressing older archives and for compatibility with systems that still use the .lzma format.
