Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its
small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software
installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression
capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer and is
able to decompress any lzip file using as little memory as 50 kB.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.

Changes in this version:

  * Minor changes have been made.

* The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress", and "install-man-compress" have been added to the Makefile.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lunzip author and maintainer.
