Compress/uncompress files with brotli compression.
# To compress a file, creating a compressed version next to the file:
brotli <file.ext>
# To decompress a file, creating an uncompressed version next to the file:
brotli -d <file.ext>.br
# To compress a file specifying the output filename:
brotli <file.ext> -o <compressed_file.ext.br>
# To decompress a brotli file specifying the output filename:
brotli -d <compressed_file.ext.br> -o <file.ext>
# To specify the compression level. 1=Fastest (Worst), 11=Slowest (Best):
brotli -q <11> <file.ext> -o <compressed_file.ext.br>
