The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving,
taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability:
* The lzip format provides very safe integrity checking and some data
recovery means. The lziprecover program can repair bit-flip errors
recovery means. The lziprecover program can repair bit flip errors
(one of the most common forms of data corruption) in lzip files,
and provides data recovery capabilities, including error-checked
merging of damaged copies of a file.
* The lzip format is as simple as possible (but not simpler). The
lzip manual provides the source code of a simple decompressor along
with a detailed explanation of how it works, so that with the only
help of the lzip manual it would be possible for a digital
archaeologist to extract the data from a lzip file long after
quantum computers eventually render LZMA obsolete.
