Clzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the 
one of gzip or bzip2. Clzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and 
compresses more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software 
distribution and data archiving.

Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully 
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Clzip is in fact a C language version 
of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.

The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving and 
provides very safe integrity checking. If you ever need to recover data 
from a damaged lzip file, try the lziprecover program.

Changes in this version:

  * Clzip now shows the progress of compression at verbosity level 2 (-vv).
