Lzip - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, what makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving.
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.
The lzip family also includes a C version (clzip), a multi-threaded compressor (plzip), a small decompressor (lunzip), and a data recovery tool (lziprecover).
