-.BI \-\^\-compression [ compression_level ]
-Sets the amount of compression performed on the output file.  Currently libtrace will always write
-out compressed files, even when -z0 is given.
+.BI \-\^\-compress-level level
+Sets the amount of compression performed on the output file. This value can
+range from 0 (no compression) to 9 (maximum compression). Higher compression
+levels require more CPU to compress data. Defaults to 0.
