LZO is a compression library with focus on decompression speed.
originally implemented by Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
minilzo is a lightweight subset of the full LZO library.
It is available [online as a C library](http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/#minilzo).
This rust library is a wrapper around the minilzo library
and is fully compatible with LZO/minilzo compressed data.
## Build

use minilzo;
fn main() {
let data = b"foobar";
let compressed = minilzo::compress(&data[..]).unwrap();
let decompressed = minilzo::decompress(&compressed, data.len()).unwrap();
}
```
