liblzma example programs ========================

Introduction

The examples are written so that the same comments aren't repeated (much) in later files.

On POSIX systems, the examples should build by just typing "make".

The examples that use stdin or stdout don't set stdin and stdout to binary mode. On systems where it matters (e.g. Windows) it is possible that the examples won't work without modification.

List of examples

01_compress_easy.c Multi-call compression using a compression preset

02_decompress.c Multi-call decompression

03_compress_custom.c Like 01_compress_easy.c but using a custom filter chain (x86 BCJ + LZMA2)

04_compress_easy_mt.c Multi-threaded multi-call compression using a compression preset
