Description-en: Development headers for custom compression for CRAM and others
This library implements the custom CRAM codecs used for "EXTERNAL" block
types. These consist of two variants of the rANS codec (8-bit and 16-bit
renormalisation, with run-length encoding and bit-packing also supported
in the latter), a dynamic arithmetic coder, and custom codecs for name/ID
compression and quality score compression derived from fqzcomp.
.
They come with small command line test tools to act as both compression
exploration programs and as part of the test harness.
.
This package contains the development headers
