 | `-m` | Enable the multithreaded scanner/loader/sender pipeline. |
 | `-c [level]`, `-z [level]` | Enable streaming zstd compression, levels 1-22. |
 | `--compress-level <n>` | Set the zstd compression level. |
+| `--zc <alg>` | Alias for `--compress-choice`. FastSync supports `zstd` and `none`. |
+| `--zl <n>` | Alias for `--compress-level`. |
 | `--chunk-size <bytes>` | Set the transfer chunk size. |
 | `-s` | Enable FastSync chunk serialization. |
 | `-f`, `--sendfile` | Use TCP `sendfile()` zero-copy transfer. Incompatible with compression and chunk serialization. |

 | Flag | Rsync Description | FastSync Status | Notes |
 |------|-------------------|-----------------|-------|
 | `-z`, `--compress` | Compress file data | 🔀 Alt Arg | Always uses zstd (rsync supports multiple algorithms) |
-| `--compress-choice=STR` | Choose compression algorithm | ❌ Not Implemented | Removed because it had no effect; FastSync always uses zstd |
+| `--compress-choice=STR`, `--zc=STR` | Choose compression algorithm | ✅ Implemented | FastSync supports `zstd` and `none` |
-| `--compress-level=NUM` | Set compression level | ✅ Implemented | 1-22, default 5 |
+| `--compress-level=NUM`, `--zl=NUM` | Set compression level | ✅ Implemented | 1-22, default 5 |
 | `--compress-threads=NUM` | Set compression threads | ❌ Not Implemented | |
 | `--skip-compress=LIST` | Skip compress for suffixes | ❌ Not Implemented | Internal skip for hardcoded types; not user-configurable |
