Google Snappy

    As some of you may know, Google has it's own compression (system). It's meant to be faster and have good enough compression such that you don't delete it. The thing is, I can't get anything to compress anything as it is. It's released as C++ code, and when compiled, it makes a program called snappy_unittest. When run, it compresses all of the predetermined compression benchmark files. Those work like clockwork, but say I might want to compress something of my own. Sure, I could delve into the depths of the code and change it, but I would probably mangle it beyond recognition. I could Google different things along the lines of "Google Snappy command line", but I probably wouldn't get anything. Well, I didn't get anything... Anyway, I would like to use snappy, but I can't. If anyone knows of a command line snappy application, let me know. Thanks.

    Add command line arguments support.
    Ex:
    exec snappy_unittest -file /blah/derp.wtf
