+Keep (don't delete) input files during compression or decompression.

@item --list
@itemx -l
For each compressed file, list the following fields:
into the directory and compress all the files it finds there (or
decompress them in the case of @command{gunzip}).
+@item --rsyncable
+While compressing, synchronize the output occasionally based on
+the input. This increases size by less than 1 percent most
+cases, but means that the @command{rsync} program can much more efficiently
+synchronize files compressed with this flag. @command{gunzip}
+cannot tell the difference between a compressed file created
+with this option, and one created without it.
