- // Package xz implements XZ decompression natively in Go.
- //
- // Usage
- //
- // For ease of use, this package is designed to have a similar API to
- // compress/gzip. See the examples for further details.
- //
- // Implementation
- //
- // This package is a translation from C to Go of XZ Embedded
- // (http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html) with enhancements made so as
- // to implement all mandatory and optional parts of the XZ file format
- // specification v1.0.4. It supports all filters and block check
- // types, supports multiple streams, and performs index verification
- // using SHA-256 as recommended by the specification.
- //
- // Speed
- //
- // On the author's Intel Ivybridge i5, decompression speed is about
- // half that of the standard XZ Utils (tested with a recent linux
- // kernel tarball).
- //
- // Thanks
- //
- // Thanks are due to Lasse Collin and Igor Pavlov, the authors of XZ
- // Embedded, on whose code package xz is based. It would not exist
- // without their decision to allow others to modify and reuse their
- // code.
- //
- // Bug reports
- //
- // For bug reports relating to this package please contact the author
- // through https://github.com/xi2/xz/issues, and not the authors of XZ
- // Embedded.
