It does not reduce the memory footprint once loaded into memory. You loose all the symbols, so usability is limited. Its main usage is making kernels for install and fixit floppies, etc. .Pp The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width flag .It Fl v verbose mode, reports how much memory is being used by the kernel after compression. Also allows you to check to make sure your kernel is not going past the 4MB boundary. .It Fl l Ar loadaddr specify the address to load the kernel into memory at. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS The .Bl kzip utility returns with exit code 1 if given invalid arguments. Exit code two means .Bl kzip was unable to read or process the kernel file. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kernel(8), .Xr gzip(1) .\" .Sh STANDARDS .Sh HISTORY The kzip command appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.5. Obtained from Linux via 386BSD -- based on tools/build.c by Linus Torvalds, and ported to 386bsd by Serge Vakulenko. .Sh AUTHORS This man page was written by David E. O'Brien. .\" .Sh BUGS >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
