decompress-threads¶
Usage: --decompress-threads=#
The number of threads for parallel data decompression. The default value is 1.
decrypt¶
Usage: --decrypt=name
Specifies that xbstream automatically decrypts encrypted files when extracting input stream. The supported values are: AES128, AES192, and AES256.
You can specify either --encrypt-key or --encrypt-key-file to provide the encryption key, but do not use both options.
directory¶
Usage: --directory=name
Change the current directory to this named directory before streaming or extracting.
