Lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the decompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the lzip format. Lzlib is written in C.

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


Changes in this version:

* In minilzip, file diagnostics have been reformatted as 'PROGRAM: FILE: MESSAGE'.

* In minilzip, diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command-line options now show the argument and the name of the option.

* It has been documented in the manual that it is the responsibility of the program using lzlib to include before 'lzlib.h' some header that declares the type 'uint8_t'. (Reported by Michal Górny).

  * The variable MAKEINFO has been added to configure and Makefile.in.

* It has been documented in INSTALL that when choosing a C standard, the POSIX features need to be enabled explicitly:
  ./configure CFLAGS+='--std=c99 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500'


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzlib author and maintainer.
