# The archivers/lzip/pdlzip port

## pdlzip-1.9p0 – public domain implementation of the lzip data compressor

## Description

    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 pdlzip, a limited, "public domain" C
    implementation of the lzip data compressor. Pdlzip is also able to
    decompress legacy lzma-alone (.lzma) files.
