Package: libdeflate-tools (1.22-1)

[ Source: libdeflate  ]

tools for whole-buffer compression and decompression library

The supported formats are:

 * DEFLATE (raw)
 * zlib (a.k.a. DEFLATE with a zlib wrapper)
 * gzip (a.k.a. DEFLATE with a gzip wrapper)

libdeflate is heavily optimized. It is significantly faster than the zlib library, both for compression and decompression, and especially on x86 processors. In addition, libdeflate provides optional high compression modes that provide a better compression ratio than the zlib's "level 9".

This package provides the sample tool: libdeflate-gzip (and libdeflate-gunzip). This program which can be a drop-in replacement for standard "gzip" under some circumstances. Note that "libdeflate-gzip" has some limitations; it is provided for convenience and is **not** meant to be the main use case of libdeflate. It needs a lot of memory to process large files, and it omits support for some infrequently-used options of GNU gzip.
