Lunzip is a decompressor for the lzip format written in C. Its small size
makes it well suited for embedded devices or software installers that need

Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one
-of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel\-Ziv\-Markov
-chain\-Algorithm' (LZMA) stream format to maximize interoperability. The
-maximum dictionary size is 512 MiB so that any lzip file can be decompressed
-on 32\-bit machines. Lzip provides accurate and robust 3\-factor integrity
-checking. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip \fB\-0\fR) or compress most
-files more than bzip2 (lzip \fB\-9\fR). Decompression speed is intermediate between
-gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 from a data recovery
-perspective. Lzip has been designed, written, and tested with great care to
-replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard general\-purpose compressed format for
-Unix\-like systems.
