# lz4
|
||
|
|
LZ4 compression and decompression in pure Go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
import "github.com/pierrec/lz4"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
Package lz4 implements reading and writing lz4 compressed data (a frame),
|
||
|
|
as specified in http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/04/lz4-streaming-format-final.html.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is **compatible with the LZ4 frame format** although the block level compression
|
||
|
|
and decompression functions are exposed and are fully compatible with the lz4 block format
|
||
|
|
definition, they are low level and should not be used directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a complete description of an lz4 compressed block, see:
