+Description
+
+Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its
+small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software
+installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression
+capabilities.
+
+Lunzip replaces every file given in the command line with a decompressed
+version of itself. Each decompressed file has the same modification
+date, permissions, and, when possible, ownership as the corresponding
+compressed file. Lunzip is able to read from some types of non regular
+files if the "--stdout" option is specified.
+
+Lunzip attempts to guess the name for the decompressed file from that of
+the compressed file as follows:
+
+filename.lz    becomes   filename
+filename.tlz   becomes   filename.tar
+anyothername   becomes   anyothername.out
+
+If no file names are specified, lunzip decompresses from standard input
+to standard output. In this case, lunzip will decline to read compressed
+input from a terminal.
+
+Lunzip will correctly decompress a file which is the concatenation of
+two or more compressed files. The result is the concatenation of the
+corresponding uncompressed files. Integrity testing of concatenated
+compressed files is also supported.
+
+The amount of memory required by lunzip to decompress a file is only a
+few tens of KiB larger than the dictionary size used to compress that
+file.
