--9::
- Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any
- number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
+-<digit>::
+ Regulate compression level using the specified <digit>. Higher
+ values enables smaller size at the expense of slower time.
+ Supported values are from `-0` (store-only) to `-9` (best ratio).
+ Default is `-6` if isn't specified.
+tar
+~~~
+-<number>::
+ Specify compression level. The value will be passed to the
+ compression command configured in `tar.<format>.command`. See
