One way is to make +it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other is +to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. +-- C.A.R. Hoare + + Lzip has been designed, written and tested with great care to be the +standard general-purpose compressor for unix-like systems. This chapter +describes the lessons learned from previous compressors (gzip and +bzip2), and their application to the design of lzip. + + +3.1 Format design +================= + +When gzip was designed in 1992, computers and operating systems were +much less capable than they are today. Gzip tried to work around some of +those limitations, like 8.3 file names, with additional fields in its +file format. + + Today those limitations have mostly disappeared, and the format of +gzip has proved to be unnecessarily complicated. It includes fields +that were never used, others that have lost its usefulness, and finally +others that have become too limited. + + Bzip2 was designed 5 years later, and its format is simpler than the +one of gzip. + + Probably the worst defect of the gzip format from the point of view +of data safety is the variable size of its header. If the byte at +offset 3 (flags) of a gzip member gets corrupted, it mat become very +difficult to recover the data, even if the compressed blocks are +intact, because it can't be known with certainty where the compressed +blocks begin. + + By contrast, the header of a lzip member has a fixed length of 6. The +lzma stream in a lzip member always starts at offset 6, making it +trivial to recover the data even if the whole header becomes corrupt. + + Bzip2 also provides a header of fixed length and marks the begin and +end of each compressed block with six magic bytes, making it possible to +find the compressed blocks even in case of file damage. But bzip2 does +not store the size of each compressed block, as lzip does. + + Lzip provides better data recovery capabilities than any other +gzip-like compressor because its format has been designed from the +beginning to be simple and safe. It would be very difficult to write an +automatic recovery tool like lziprecover for the gzip format. And, as +far as I know, it has never been writen. + + The lzip format is designed for long-term archiving. Therefore it +excludes any unneeded features that may interfere with the future +extraction of the uncompressed data. + + +3.1.1 Gzip format (mis)features not present in lzip +--------------------------------------------------- + +'Multiple algorithms' + Gzip provides a CM (Compression Method) field that has never been + used because it is a bad idea to begin with. New compression + methods may require additional fields, making it impossible to + implement new methods and, at the same time, keep the same format. + This field does not solve the problem of format proliferation; it + just makes the problem less obvious. + +'Optional fields in header' + Unless special precautions are taken, optional fields are + generally a bad idea because they produce a header of variable + size. The gzip header has 2 fields that, in addition to being + optional, are zero-terminated. This means that if any byte inside + the field gets zeroed, or if the terminating zero gets altered, + gzip won't be able to find neither the header CRC nor the + compressed blocks. + +'Optional CRC for the header' + Using an optional checksum for the header is not only a bad idea, + it is an error; it may prevent the extraction of perfectly good + data. For example, if the checksum is used and the bit enabling it + is reset by a bit-flip, the header will appear to be intact (in + spite of being corrupt) while the compressed blocks will appear to + be totally unrecoverable (in spite of being intact). Very + misleading indeed. + + +3.1.2 Lzip format improvements over gzip and bzip2 +-------------------------------------------------- + +'64-bit size field' + Probably the most frequently reported shortcoming of the gzip + format is that it only stores the least significant 32 bits of the + uncompressed size. The size of any file larger than 4 GiB gets + truncated. + + Bzip2 does not store the uncompressed size of the file. + + The lzip format provides a 64-bit field for the uncompressed size. + Additionaly, lzip produces multi-member output automatically when + the size is too large for a single member, allowing for an + unlimited uncompressed size. + +'Distributed index' + The lzip format provides a distributed index that, among other + things, helps plzip to decompress several times faster than pigz + and helps lziprecover do its job. Neither the gzip format nor the + bzip2 format do provide an index. + + A distributed index is safer and more scalable than a monolithic + index. The monolithic index introduces a single point of failure + in the compressed file and may limit the number of members or the + total uncompressed size. + + +3.2 Quality of implementation +============================= + +'Multiple implementations' + Just like the lzip format provides 4 factor protection against + undetected data corruption, the development methodology of the lzip + family of compressors provides 3 factor protection against + undetected programming errors. + + Three related but independent compressor implementations, lzip, + clzip and minilzip/lzlib, are developed concurrently. Every stable + release of any of them is subjected to a hundred hours of + intensive testing to verify that it produces identical output to + the other two. This guarantees that all three implement the same + algorithm, and makes it unlikely that any of them may contain + serious undiscovered errors. In fact, no errors have been + discovered in lzip since 2009. + +'Dictionary size' + Lzip automatically uses the smallest possible dictionary size for + each file. In addition to reducing the amount of memory required + for decompression, this feature also minimizes the probability of + being affected by RAM errors during compression. + +'Exit status' + Returning a warning status of 2 is a design flaw of compress that + leaked into the design of gzip.

The size of any file larger than 4 GiB gets - truncated. - - The lzip format provides a 64-bit field for the uncompressed size. - Additionaly, lzip produces multi-member output automatically when - the size is too large for a single member, allowing an unlimited - uncompressed size. - -'Distributed index' - The lzip format provides a distributed index that, among other - things, helps plzip to decompress several times faster than pigz - and helps lziprecover do its job. The gzip format does not provide - an index. - - A distributed index is safer and more scalable than a monolithic - index. The monolithic index introduces a single point of failure - in the compressed file and may limit the number of members or the - total uncompressed size. - - -6.2 Quality of implementation -============================= - -Three related but independent compressor implementations, lzip, clzip -and minilzip/lzlib, are developed concurrently. Every stable release of -any of them is subjected to a hundred hours of intensive testing to -verify that it produces identical output to the other two. This -guarantees that all three implement the same algorithm, and makes it -unlikely that any of them may contain serious undiscovered errors.

In addition to reducing the amount of memory required for -decompression, this feature also minimizes the probability of being -affected by RAM errors during compression. - - Returning a warning status of 2 is a design flaw of compress that -leaked into the design of gzip.
