liblzma: A library implementing the LZMA compression algorythm
Name:
liblzma
Release:
5.0.4-1mamba
Architecture:
arm
Group:
System/Libraries
Description:
lzma is a file compression utility with a high compression ratio.
Features:
* Average compression ratio of LZMA is about 30% better than that of gzip, and 15% better than that of bzip2.
* Decompression speed is only little slower than that of gzip, being two to five times faster than bzip2.
* In fast mode, compresses faster than bzip2 with a comparable compression ratio.
* Achieving the best compression ratios takes four to even twelve times longer than with bzip2. However. this doesn't affect decompressing speed.
* Very similar command line interface than what gzip and bzip2 have.
* The patch for GNU tar integrates LZMA compression with the tar command in the same way as with gzip and bzip2.
* Free software licensed under the GNU GPL (actually most parts are under the GNU LGPL).
This package contains the libzmla dynamic library.
