.SH DESCRIPTION
Pdlzip \- A permissively licensed implementation of the lzip data
compressor also able to decompress legacy lzma\-alone (.lzma) files.
Pdlzip is a permissively licensed implementation of the lzip data
compressor, intended for those who can't distribute (or even use) GPL
licensed Free Software. (The name of pdlzip comes from 'public domain
lzip'). Pdlzip is written in C and is (hope)fully compatible with lzip 1.4
or newer.
.PP
Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip \fB\-0\fR)
or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip \fB\-9\fR). Decompression speed is
intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2
from a data recovery perspective. Lzip has been designed, written and
tested with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard
general\-purpose compressed format for unix\-like systems.
.PP
Pdlzip is also able to decompress legacy lzma\-alone (.lzma) files.
Lzma\-alone is a very bad format; it is essentially a raw LZMA stream.
If you keep any lzma\-alone files, it is advisable to recompress them to
lzip format. Lziprecover can convert some lzma\-alone files to lzip format
