If '-r' is passed, files in dir will be defragmented recursively.
The start position and the number of bytes to defragment can be specified by
start and len using '-s' and '-l' options below.
Any extent bigger than threshold given by '-t' option, will be considered
already defragged.
Use 0 to take the kernel default.
Extents bigger than value given by '-t' will be skipped, otherwise this value
is used as a target extent size, but is only advisory and may not be reached
if the free space is too fragmented.
Use 0 to take the kernel default, which is 256kB but may change in the future.
You can also turn on compression in defragment operations.

`Options`

-v::::
be verbose
-c::::
compress file contents while defragmenting
-c[<algo>]::::
compress file contents while defragmenting. Optional argument selects the compression
algorithm, 'zlib' (default) or 'lzo'. Currently it's not possible to select no
compression.
-r::::
defragment files recursively
defragment files recursively in given directories
-f::::
flush filesystem after defragmenting
flush data for each file before going to the next file. This will limit the amount
of dirty data to current file, otherwise the amount cumulates from several files
and may increase system load.
-s <start>[kKmMgGtTpPeE]::::
defragment only from byte <start> onward
-l <len>[kKmMgGtTpPeE]::::
defragment only up to <len> bytes
-t <size>[kKmMgGtTpPeE]::::
defragment only files at least <size> bytes big
target extent size, do not touch extents bigger than <size>

For <start>, <len>, <size> it is possible to append
units designator: \'K', \'M', \'G', \'T', \'P', or \'E', which represent
