This the unix port of the Amiga XPK library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The XPK system consists of a master library (libxpkmaster.so) and several
|
|
|
|
|
(un)packer sublibraries (libxpkXXXX.so). Application programs only use the
|
|
|
|
|
master library directly: the master library takes care of loading and using
|
|
|
|
|
the sublibraries. Each sublibrary implements one type of compression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are different libraries for different types of data. When unpacking the
|
|
|
|
|
applications do not need to know which library was used to pack the data -
|
|
|
|
|
the appropriate library needs to be installed.
