Lunzip is a decompressor for the lzip format. It is written in C and its
small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software
installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression
installers that need to decompress files but don't need compression
capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term

compress the file. To activate it, specify the size of the output buffer
with the "--buffer-size" option and lunzip will use the decompressed
file as dictionary for distances beyond the buffer size. Of course, the
smaller the output buffer size used in relation to the dictionary size,
the more accesses to disk are needed and the slower the decompression
is. This "low memory" mode only works when decompressing to a regular
file and is intended for systems without enough memory (RAM + swap) to
keep the whole dictionary at once. It has been tested on a laptop with a
486 processor and 4 MiB of RAM.
