Lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression 
and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the 
decompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the 
lzip format. Lzlib is written in C.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term 
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to 
repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with 
the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a 
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.
