6.8.1 lz4_decompress — Decompress mysqlpump LZ4-Compressed Output

The lz4_decompress utility decompresses mysqlpump output that was created using LZ4 compression.

Note

lz4_decompress is deprecated as of MySQL 8.0.34; expect it to be removed in a future version of MySQL. This is because the associated mysqlpump utility is deprecated as of MySQL 8.0.34.

Note

If MySQL was configured with the -DWITH_LZ4=system option, lz4_decompress is not built. In this case, the system lz4 command can be used instead.

Invoke lz4_decompress like this:

lz4_decompress input_file output_file

Example:

mysqlpump --compress-output=LZ4 > dump.lz4
lz4_decompress dump.lz4 dump.txt

To see a help message, invoke lz4_decompress with no arguments.

To decompress mysqlpump ZLIB-compressed output, use zlib_decompress. See Section 6.8.3, “zlib_decompress — Decompress mysqlpump ZLIB-Compressed Output”.
