Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:45:44 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211022064543.28950-1-bagasdotme@gmail.com> (raw)

add description also for tar backend.

 Changes since v3 [1]:
     - use smaller size - slower time term
     - use <digit> and <number> for compression level

 zip
 ~~~
--0::
-	Store the files instead of deflating them.
--9::
-	Highest and slowest compression level.  You can specify any
-	number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
+-<digit>::
+	Regulate compression level using the specified <digit>. Higher
+	values enables smaller size at the expense of slower time.
+	Supported values are from `-0` (store-only) to `-9` (best ratio).
+	Default is `-6` if isn't specified.
 
+tar
+~~~
+-<number>::
+	Specify compression level. The value will be passed to the
+	compression command configured in `tar.<format>.command`. See
+	manual page of the configured command for the list of supported
+	levels and the default level if this option isn't specified.
