Cannot compress file that larger than 2GB

[kiddliu]

It seems that the file about to compress is loaded with API readFile which limits by the Node.js buffer

Hello, thanks for your report, this has been fixed... at least partially.

Because the zlib module expects the Buffer (or equivalent data format) and can't work with streams - files must be all loaded into memory. I was able to avoid readFile on too big files and bump the max file size to 4GB (on modern systems), but this is a hard limit I can't currently work around.

I added some warnings into README to address than.

I hope this helps with your use case :)

That's OK...now I workaround this with GNU split, feeding each part to the tool.
