@ -5,13 +5,14 @@ compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer. Plzip uses the compression library lzlib.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one
of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov
chain-Algorithm' (LZMA) stream format, chosen to maximize safety and
interoperability. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) or
compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). 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.
