[](LICENSE)
Raw FFI bindings to the [LZRW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZRW) family of lossless data-compression algorithms.
This crate vendors the original C source by [Ross Williams](http://www.ross.net/compression/) and compiles it via [`cc`](https://crates.io/crates/cc). It exposes the raw `lzrw*_compress` functions as unsafe extern C bindings.
Most users will want to use the [`lzrw`](https://crates.io/crates/lzrw), a safe and ergonomic Rust API on top of these bindings.
