LZO Description

Free and open source data compression library LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data de-/compression in real-time. This means it favours speed over compression ratio. Both the source code and the compressed data format are developed in ANSI C to be portable across platforms.LZO is also reported to work under Mac Classic, Mac OS X, AIX, AmigaOS, ConvexOS, CrayOS, Dreamcast, FreeBSD, IRIX, MiNT, NetBSD, Nintendo64, OpenBSD, OS/400, PalmOS (Pilot), PlayStation, QNX, Solaris, SunOS, TOS, WinCE, VMS, VxWorks, Wii and Xbox. Here are some key features of "LZO": · 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. · Algorithm is thread safe. · Algorithm is lossless. What's New in This Release: · Updated the ELF assembler sources to mark the stack as non-executable. · Fixed a HP-UX 11 build issue with Itanium in ILP32 mode. · Updated the configure system.
