Description
LZO is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C. It implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
- Decompression is simple and very fast.
- Requires no memory for decompression.
- Compression is pretty fast.
- Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
- Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
- Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed data which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio.
- There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for compression.
- Supports overlapping compression and in-place decompression.
- Algorithm is thread safe.
- Algorithm is lossless.
The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit:
- If you are compiling a 32-bit program, no special compiler options are needed.
- If you are compiling a 64-bit program, you have to compile and link your application with "xlc_r -q64" or "gcc -maix64".
