Please, test it and report any bugs you find.

Clzip is a C language version of lzip, fully compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer. As clzip is written in C, it may be easier to integrate in applications like package managers, embedded devices, or systems lacking a C++ compiler.

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 and provides a 3 factor integrity checking to maximize interoperability and optimize safety. 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.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/clzip.html

Changes in this version:

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 5-12% depending on the file.

* In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, clzip now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.

  * Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, clzip author and maintainer.
