Description-en: lossless compression algorithm and format (command line utility)
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm
that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant
of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling,
with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available
general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with
deflate but offers more dense compression.
.
This package installs a command line utility.
