Crate xz2

LZMA/XZ encoding and decoding streams

This library is a binding to liblzma currently to provide LZMA and xz encoding/decoding streams. I/O streams are provided in the read, write, and bufread modules (same types, different bounds). Raw in-memory compression/decompression is provided via the stream module and contains many of the raw APIs in liblzma.

Examples

use std::io::prelude::*;
use xz2::read::{XzEncoder, XzDecoder};

// Round trip some bytes from a byte source, into a compressor, into a
// decompressor, and finally into a vector.
let data = "Hello, World!".as_bytes();
let compressor = XzEncoder::new(data, 9);
let mut decompressor = XzDecoder::new(compressor);

let mut contents = String::new();
decompressor.read_to_string(&mut contents).unwrap();
assert_eq!(contents, "Hello, World!");

Modules

bufread	I/O streams for wrapping BufRead types as encoders/decoders
read	Reader-based compression/decompression streams
stream	Raw in-memory LZMA streams.
write	Writer-based compression/decompression streams
