Description
Lzd is a simplified decompressor for lzip files with an educational
purpose. Studying its source is a good first step to understand how lzip
works. It is not safe to use lzd for any real work.
The source of lzd is used in the lzip manual as a reference decompressor
in the description of the lzip file format. Reading the lzip manual will
help you understand the source.
Lzd decompresses from standard input to standard output. Lzd will
correctly decompress the concatenation of two or more compressed files.
The result is the concatenation of the corresponding decompressed data.
Integrity of such concatenated compressed input is also verified.
The ideas embodied in lzd are due to (at least) the following people:
Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv (for the LZ algorithm), Andrey Markov (for
the definition of Markov chains), G.N.N. Martin (for the definition of
range encoding), and Igor Pavlov (for putting all the above together in
LZMA).
