1 | DESCRIPTION
|
---|
2 | LZF is an extremely fast (not that much slower than a pure memcpy)
|
---|
3 | compression algorithm. It is ideal for applications where you want to
|
---|
4 | save *some* space but not at the cost of speed. It is ideal for
|
---|
5 | repetitive data as well. The module is self-contained and very small.
|
---|
6 |
|
---|
7 | It's written in ISO-C with no external dependencies other than what
|
---|
8 | C provides and can easily be #include'd into your code, no makefile
|
---|
9 | changes or library builds requires.
|
---|
10 |
|
---|
11 | A C♯ implementation without external dependencies is available, too.
|
---|
12 |
|
---|
13 | I do not know for certain whether any patents in any countries apply
|
---|
14 | to this algorithm, but at the moment it is believed that it is free
|
---|
15 | from any patents. More importantly, it is also free to use in every
|
---|
16 | software package (see LICENSE).
|
---|

|
---|
18 | See the lzf.h file for details on how the functions in this
|
---|
19 | mini-library are to be used.
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
21 | NOTE: This package contains a very bare-bones command-line utility
|
---|
22 | which is neither optimized for speed nor for compression. This library
|
---|
23 | is really intended to be used inside larger programs.
