// Package xz implements XZ decompression natively in Go.
|
|
//
|
|
// Usage
|
|
//
|
|
// For ease of use, this package is designed to have a similar API to
|
|
// compress/gzip. See the examples for further details.
|
|
//
|
|
// Implementation
|
|
//
|
|
// This package is a translation from C to Go of XZ Embedded
|
|
// (http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html) with enhancements made so as
|
|
// to implement all mandatory and optional parts of the XZ file format
|
|
// specification v1.0.4. It supports all filters and block check
|
|
// types, supports multiple streams, and performs index verification
|
|
// using SHA-256 as recommended by the specification.
|
|
//
|
|
// Speed
|
|
//
|
|
// On the author's Intel Ivybridge i5, decompression speed is about
|
|
// half that of the standard XZ Utils (tested with a recent linux
|
|
// kernel tarball).
|
|
//
|
|
// Thanks
|
|
//
|
|
// Thanks are due to Lasse Collin and Igor Pavlov, the authors of XZ
|
|
// Embedded, on whose code package xz is based. It would not exist
|
|
// without their decision to allow others to modify and reuse their
|
|
// code.
|
|
//
|
|
// Bug reports
|
|
//
|
|
// For bug reports relating to this package please contact the author
|
|
// through https://github.com/xi2/xz/issues, and not the authors of XZ
|
|
// Embedded.
