- If no compression or decompression arguments are given, then the program decompresses the file if the filename name ends with
.bnzipand otherwise compresses it. - When compressing and
-lor--lzwargument is not provided, Huffman coding is used to compress the file. - When decompressing, it is not necessary to provide
-lor--lzwargument, because the file contains information about what it was compressed with.
