lunzip-1.16

decompressor written in C for lzip files

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm. The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking. Lzip uses the same well-defined exit status values used by bzip2, which makes it safer when used in pipes or scripts than compressors returning ambiguous warning values, like gzip. This package contains lunzip, decompressor for lzip files written in C.
