From f59c5859600b5dfeaa618fcc04e9e3bb2b005f5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lasse Collin Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 18:16:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] xz: Don't mention lzip's sync flush marker on the man page The sync flush marker isn't valid in .lz files. The sync flush marker may be used by lzlib, but the resulting streams are only meant to be decoded by lzlib itself. lzlib's docs make this clear.
