Lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression 
and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the 
decompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the 
lzip format. Lzlib is written in C.

The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is 
clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking, and is backed by 
the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.

Changes in this version:

  * Improved portability to BSD systems:
    - The configure script now accepts the option "--disable-ldconfig".
    - "make install" now ignores any errors from ldconfig.

  * Minilzip now copies file dates, permissions, and ownership like "cp 
-p". (If the user ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file 
permission bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).

  * "lzlib.texinfo" has been renamed to "lzlib.texi".
