It is ideal for applications where you want to + save *some* space but not at the cost of speed. It is ideal for + repetitive data as well. The module is self-contained and very small. + + It's written in ISO-C with no external dependencies other than what + C provides and can easily be #include'd into your code, no makefile + changes or library builds requires. + + A C♯ implementation without external dependencies is available, too. + + I do not know for certain wether any patents in any countries apply + to this algorithm, but at the moment it is believed that it is free + from any patents. More importantly, it is also free to use in every + software package (see LICENSE). + + See the lzf.h file for details on how the functions in this + mini-library are to be used. + + NOTE: This package contains a very bare-bones command-line utility + which is neither optimized for speed nor for compression. This library + is really intented to be used inside larger programs. + +AUTHOR + This library was written by Marc Lehmann <schmorp@schmorp.de> (See also + http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/liblzf). + + |
