- Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
- one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and
- compresses more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software
- distribution and data archiving.
- Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm. The lzip file
- format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is clean, provides
- very safe 4 factor integrity checking. Lzip uses the same well-defined
- exit status values used by bzip2, which makes it safer when used in
- pipes or scripts than compressors returning ambiguous warning values,
- like gzip.
- This package contains plzip, a multi-threaded compressor using the lzip
- file format.
