--enable-assume-ram=SIZE
On the most common operating systems, XZ Utils is able to
detect the amount of physical memory on the system. This
information is used to set the default memory usage limit.
On some systems, there is no code to detect the amount of
RAM though. Using --enable-assume-ram one can set how much
memory to assume on these systems. SIZE is given as MiB.
The default is 32 MiB, which is probably too low for most
systems, but it is enough to allow decompressing .xz files
created with the default settings.
Feel free to send patches to add support for detecting
the amount of RAM on the operating system you use. See
src/common/tuklib_physmem.c for details.
