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 is written in ANSI C. Both the source code and the compressed data format are designed to be portable across platforms.
|
|
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.
|
|
LZO supports overlapping compression and in-place decompression.
