Xtool is a modern, multi-threaded precompression tool that acts as a successor to older tools like . It optimizes data by "unpacking" internal compression (like zlib, lzma, or srep) within files so that secondary compressors can achieve much higher ratios. Because it utilizes all available CPU cores, it is significantly faster than its predecessors when handling large datasets. The Role of the -dd Deduplication Option
When xtool is used for network transfers (e.g., synchronizing files to a remote server), the -dd option significantly reduces bandwidth consumption. Since only unique data chunks are transferred over the wire, synchronization jobs finish much faster. xtool -dd deduplication option
Then pipe to another command:
