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.
encrypt-key¶
Usage: --encrypt-key=name
Specify the encryption key used. Do not use this option with --encrypt-key-file; these options are mutually exclusive.
encrypt-key-file¶
Usage: --encrypt-key-file=name
Specify the file that contains the encryption key. Do not use this option with --encrypt-key; these options are mutually exclusive.
encrypt-threads¶
Usage: --encrypt-threads-=#
Specify the number of threads for parallel data encryption. The default value is 1.
extract¶
Usage: --extract
Extract to disk the files from the stream to the standard input.
fifo-dir¶
Usage: --fifo-dir=name

fifo-timeout¶
Usage: --fifo-timeout=#
The number of seconds to wait for the other end to open the stream. The default value is 60.
parallel¶
Usage: --parallel=#
Defines the number of worker threads for reading or writing.
