Description :
The lzlib compression library provides in-memory LZMA compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checking of the uncompressed
data. The compressed data format used by the library is the lzip format.
Compression/decompression is done by repeteadly calling a couple of
read/write functions until all the data has been processed by the library.
This interface is safer and less error prone than the traditional zlib
interface.
Lzlib will correctly decompress a data stream which is the concatenation of
two or more compressed data streams. The result is the concatenation of the
corresponding uncompressed data streams. Integrity testing of concatenated
compressed data streams is also supported.
All the library functions are thread safe. The library does not install any
signal handler. The decoder checks the consistency of the compressed data,
so the library should never crash even in case of corrupted input.
Lzlib implements a simplified version of the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov
chain-Algorithm) algorithm. The original LZMA algorithm was designed by
Igor Pavlov. For a description of the LZMA algorithm, see the lzip manual.
The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit.
