lzmainfo - show information stored in the .lzma file header

lzmainfo  uses  MB  while  the  correct  suffix  would  be  MiB (2^20 bytes).  This is to keep the output
       compatible with LZMA Utils.

lzmainfo  shows  information  stored  in  the  .lzma  file  header.  It reads the first 13 bytes from the
       specified file, decodes the header, and prints it to standard output in human  readable  format.   If  no
       files are given or file is -, standard input is read.

       Usually  the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and the dictionary size.  Uncompressed
       size can be shown only if the file is in the non-streamed .lzma format variant.   The  amount  of  memory
       required to decompress the file is a few dozen kilobytes plus the dictionary size.

       lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
