a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync LZF is an extremely fast (not that much slower than a pure memcpy)
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync compression algorithm. It is ideal for applications where you want to
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync save *some* space but not at the cost of speed. It is ideal for
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync repetitive data as well. The module is self-contained and very small.

a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync It's written in ISO-C with no external dependencies other than what
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync C provides and can easily be #include'd into your code, no makefile
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync changes or library builds requires.

a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync I do not know for certain wether any patents in any countries apply
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync to this algorithm, but at the moment it is believed that it is free
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync from any patents. More importantly, it is also free to use in every
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync software package (see LICENSE).

a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync mini-library are to be used.

a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync NOTE: This package contains a very bare-bones command-line utility
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync which is neither optimized for speed nor for compression. This library
a260560bdbc7bd737d59547882cd5e8d77b80d0avboxsync is really intented to be used inside larger programs.
