Description: fast compression/decompression library (development files)
Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for
maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression
library; instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable
compression.
.
For instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy
is an order of magnitude faster for most inputs, but the resulting
compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100% bigger. On a single core
of a Core i7 processor in 64-bit mode, Snappy compresses at about 250
MB/sec or more and decompresses at about 500 MB/sec or more.
.
This package contains the development files required to build programs
against Snappy.
