\fB\-\-show\-default\-cparams\fR: Shows the default compression parameters that will be used for a particular src file\. If the provided src file is not a regular file (eg\. named pipe), the cli will just output the default parameters\. That is, the parameters that are used when the src size is unknown\.

\fB\-\-\fR: All arguments after \fB\-\-\fR are treated as files
Using environment variables to set parameters has security implications\. Therefore, this avenue is intentionally restricted\. Only \fBZSTD_CLEVEL\fR is supported currently, for setting compression level\. \fBZSTD_CLEVEL\fR can be used to set the level between 1 and 19 (the "normal" range)\. If the value of \fBZSTD_CLEVEL\fR is not a valid integer, it will be ignored with a warning message\. \fBZSTD_CLEVEL\fR just replaces the default compression level (\fB3\fR)\. It can be overridden by corresponding command line arguments\.

.SS "Restricted usage of Environment Variables"
Using environment variables to set parameters has security implications\. Therefore, this avenue is intentionally restricted\. Only \fBZSTD_CLEVEL\fR and \fBZSTD_NBTHREADS\fR are currently supported\. They set the compression level and number of threads to use during compression, respectively\.
.SH "DICTIONARY BUILDER"
\fBzstd\fR offers \fIdictionary\fR compression, which greatly improves efficiency on small files and messages\. It\'s possible to train \fBzstd\fR with a set of samples, the result of which is saved into a file called a \fBdictionary\fR\. Then during compression and decompression, reference the same dictionary, using command \fB\-D dictionaryFileName\fR\. Compression of small files similar to the sample set will be greatly improved\.
