@ -5,6 +5,18 @@ small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software
installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression
capabilities.
Lunzip 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.
The 4 factor integrity checking of the lzip format guarantees that the
decompressed version of the data is identical to the original. This
guards against corruption of the compressed data, and against undetected
bugs in lunzip (hopefully very unlikely). The chances of data corruption
going undetected are microscopic. Be aware, though, that the check
occurs upon decompression, so it can only tell you that something is
wrong. It can't help you recover the original uncompressed data.
If you ever need to recover data from a damaged lzip file, try the
lziprecover program.
