Lzip was written by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
The ideas embodied in lzip 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), Igor Pavlov (for putting all the above together in
-LZMA), and Julian Seward (for bzip2's CLI).

-Changes in version 1.21:
+Changes in version 1.22:
-Detection of forbidden combinations of characters in trailing data has been
-improved.
+Lzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lzip -t "").
-Errors are now also checked when closing the input file.
+Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the
+output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new
+description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only
+when (de)compressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
+ lzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo
+must now be split into:
+ lzip -o foo.lz - < foo
+ lzip bar
+or rewritten as:
+ lzip - bar < foo > foo.lz
-Lzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch).
+When using '-c' or '-o', lzip now checks whether the output is a terminal
+only once.
-The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been
-improved.
+Lzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal.
-The configure script now accepts appending options to CXXFLAGS using the
-syntax 'CXXFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.
+Lzip can now be built, tested, and installed on systems lacking a 'make'
+program. (Feature suggested by Mohammad Akhlaghi).
-It has been documented in INSTALL the use of
-CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW.
+The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
+shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.

+member in input file is truncated or corrupt."

Description
-Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
-one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0)
-or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). 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.
+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, chosen to maximize safety and
+interoperability. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) or
+compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). 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.
+
+For compressing/decompressing large files on multiprocessor machines plzip
+can be much faster than lzip at the cost of a slightly reduced compression
+ratio.
+
+For creation and manipulation of compressed tar archives tarlz can be more
+efficient than using tar and plzip because tarlz is able to keep the
+alignment between tar members and lzip members.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving,
taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability:
* The lzip format provides very safe integrity checking and some data
- recovery means. The lziprecover program can repair bit flip errors
- (one of the most common forms of data corruption) in lzip files,
- and provides data recovery capabilities, including error-checked
- merging of damaged copies of a file.
-
- * The lzip format is as simple as possible (but not simpler). The
- lzip manual provides the source code of a simple decompressor
- along with a detailed explanation of how it works, so that with
- the only help of the lzip manual it would be possible for a
- digital archaeologist to extract the data from a lzip file long
- after quantum computers eventually render LZMA obsolete.

* Additionally the lzip reference implementation is copylefted, which
guarantees that it will remain free forever.
-A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to
-repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with
-the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
-corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.

Lzip uses the same well-defined exit status values used by bzip2, which
makes it safer than compressors returning ambiguous warning values (like
gzip) when it is used as a back end for other programs like tar or zutils.

* Additionally the lzip reference implementation is copylefted, which

A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to
-repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with
-the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
-corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.
-
- The member trailer stores the 32-bit CRC of the original data, the
-size of the original data and the size of the member. These values,
-together with the end-of-stream marker, provide a 3 factor integrity
-checking which guarantees that the decompressed version of the data is
-identical to the original. This guards against corruption of the
-compressed data, and against undetected bugs in lzip (hopefully very
-unlikely). The chances of data corruption going undetected are
-microscopic. Be aware, though, that the check occurs upon
-decompression, so it can only tell you that something is wrong. It
-can't help you recover the original uncompressed data.
-
- Lzip uses the same well-defined exit status values used by bzip2,
-which makes it safer than compressors returning ambiguous warning
-values (like gzip) when it is used as a back end for other programs
-like tar or zutils.

The second stage of LZMA is a range encoder that uses a different
probability model for each type of symbol; distances, lengths, literal
bytes, etc. Range encoding conceptually encodes all the symbols of the
message into one number. Unlike Huffman coding, which assigns to each
-symbol a bit-pattern and concatenates all the bit-patterns together,
-range encoding can compress one symbol to less than one bit. Therefore
-the compressed data produced by a range encoder can't be split in pieces
-that could be individually described.

The coding of distances is a little more complicated, so I'll begin
explaining a simpler version of the encoding.
- Imagine you need to code a number from 0 to 2^32 - 1, and you want
-to do it in a way that produces shorter codes for the smaller numbers.
-You may first send the position of the most significant bit that is set
-to 1, which you may find by making a bit scan from the left (from the
-MSB). A position of 0 means that the number is 0 (no bit is set), 1
-means the LSB is the first bit set (the number is 1), and 32 means the
-MSB is set (i.e., the number is >= 0x80000000). Let's call this bit
-position a "slot". Then, if slot is > 1, you send the remaining
-slot - 1 bits. Let's call these bits "direct_bits" because they are
-coded directly by value instead of indirectly by position.
-
- The inconvenient of this simple method is that it needs 6 bits to
-code the slot, but it just uses 33 of the 64 possible values, wasting
-almost half of the codes.
-
- The intelligent trick of LZMA is that it encodes the position of the
-most significant bit set, along with the value of the next bit, in the
-same 6 bits that would take to encode the position alone. This seems to
-need 66 slots (2 * position + next_bit), but for slots 0 and 1 there is
-no next bit, so the number of needed slots is 64 (0 to 63).

The 6 bits representing this "slot number" are then context-coded. If
-the distance is >= 4, the remaining bits are coded as follows.
-'direct_bits' is the amount of remaining bits (from 0 to 30) needed to
-form a complete distance, and is calculated as (slot >> 1) - 1. If a
-distance needs 6 or more direct_bits, the last 4 bits are coded

-or the last 4 bits for distances >= 128) is context-coded in reverse
-order (from LSB to MSB). For distances >= 128, the 'direct_bits - 4'
-part is coded with fixed 0.5 probability.

+(See 'decode_bit' in the source).
The range decoder state consists of two unsigned 32-bit variables;
-'range' (representing the most significant part of the range size not
-yet decoded), and 'code' (representing the current point within
-'range'). 'range' is initialized to (2^32 - 1), and 'code' is
-initialized to 0.

-When gzip was designed in 1992, computers and operating systems were

-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

-Bzip2 was designed 5 years later, and its format is simpler than the one

-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 may become 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

explaining a simpler version of the encoding.

-to do it in a way that produces shorter codes for the smaller numbers.
-You may first send the position of the most significant bit that is set
-to 1, which you may find by making a bit scan from the left (from the
-MSB). A position of 0 means that the number is 0 (no bit is set), 1
-means the LSB is the first bit set (the number is 1), and 32 means the
-MSB is set (i.e., the number is @w{>= 0x80000000}). Let's call this bit
-position a "slot". Then, if slot is @w{> 1}, you send the remaining
-@w{slot - 1} bits. Let's call these bits "direct_bits" because they are
-coded directly by value instead of indirectly by position.

-The inconvenient of this simple method is that it needs 6 bits to code
-the slot, but it just uses 33 of the 64 possible values, wasting almost
-half of the codes.

-The intelligent trick of LZMA is that it encodes the position of the
-most significant bit set, along with the value of the next bit, in the
-same 6 bits that would take to encode the position alone. This seems to
-need 66 slots (2 * position + next_bit), but for slots 0 and 1 there is
