-g, --no-gzip output a plain pack file, suitable to be
compressed with a file compression utility
--gzip (default) post compress the pack output
with gzip
-G, --strip-debug remove debugging attributes (SourceFile,
LineNumberTable, LocalVariableTable
and LocalVariableTypeTable) while packing
-O, --no-keep-file-order do not transmit file ordering information
--keep-file-order (default) preserve input file ordering
-S{N}, --segment-limit={N} limit segment sizes (default unlimited)
-E{N}, --effort={N} packing effort (default N=5)
-H{h}, --deflate-hint={h} transmit deflate hint: true, false,
or keep (default)
-m{V}, --modification-time={V} transmit modtimes: latest or keep (default)
-P{F}, --pass-file={F} transmit the given input element(s) unchanged
-U{a}, --unknown-attribute={a} unknown attribute action: error, strip,
or pass (default)
-C{N}={L}, --class-attribute={N}={L} (user-defined attribute)
-F{N}={L}, --field-attribute={N}={L} (user-defined attribute)
-M{N}={L}, --method-attribute={N}={L} (user-defined attribute)
-D{N}={L}, --code-attribute={N}={L} (user-defined attribute)
-f{F}, --config-file={F} read file F for Pack200.Packer properties
-v, --verbose increase program verbosity
-q, --quiet set verbosity to lowest level

Config. file properties are defined by the Pack200 API.
For meaning of -S, -E, -H-, -m, -U values, see Pack200 API.
Layout definitions (like RUH) are defined by JSR 200.
