It is ideal for applications where you want to + save *some* space but not at the cost of speed. It is ideal for + repetitive data as well. The module is self-contained and very small (no + large library to be pulled in). + + I have no idea wether any patents in any countries apply to this + algorithm, but at the moment it is believed that it is free from any + patents. More importantly, it is also free to use in every software + package (see COPYING). + + See the lzf.h file for details on how the functions in this + mini-library are to be used. + + NOTE: This package contains a very bare-bones command-line utility + which is neither optimized for speed nor for compression. This library + is really intented to be used inside larger programs. + +AUTHOR + This library was written by Marc Lehmann <pcg@goof.com> (See also + http://liblzf.plan9.de/). + + |
