LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data
|
|
|
|
|
de-/compression in real-time. This means it favours speed over
|
|
|
|
|
compression ratio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LZO implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
|
|
|
|
|
+ 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.
