Description-en: Compression and decompression in the LZMA format - development files
The Lempel-Ziv Markov-chain Algorithm is a compression method based on
the famous LZ77 algorithm, and was first introduced by 7-Zip for use in
7z archives.
.
Its main characteristics are a very high compression ratio, with high RAM
usage, and fast decompression, with low RAM usage. These properties make
it well suited to embedded uses, such as for ROM (firmware) compression.
.
This package contains the headers and libraries of lzma. It is
experimental and will be replaced by the library as soon as it is
available.
