Description: data compression/decompression library for embedded/real-time systems
Heatshrink is a data compression/decompression library for embedded/real-time
systems. Its key features are:
.
- Low memory usage (as low as 50 bytes)
It is useful for some cases with less than 50 bytes, and useful for many
general cases with < 300 bytes.
- Incremental, bounded CPU use
You can chew on input data in arbitrarily tiny bites. This is a useful
property in hard real-time environments.
- Can use either static or dynamic memory allocation
The library doesn't impose any constraints on memory management.
.
This package contains a heatshrink encoding/decoding CLI utility.
