Lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression
and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the
uncompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the
decompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the
lzip format.
The functions and variables forming the interface of the compression
library are declared in the file @samp{lzlib.h}. An usage example of the
library is given in the file main.cc.
