+        Specify the compression level to use.  Zero means no compression.

+        individual table-data segments, and the default is to compress
+        at a moderate level.
+        For plain text output, setting a nonzero compression level causes
+        the entire output file to be compressed, as though it had been
+        fed through <application>gzip</>; but the default is not to compress.
+        The tar archive format currently does not support compression at all.
