Please, test it and report any bugs you find.

Clzip is a C language version of lzip, fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or 
newer. As clzip is written in C, it may be easier to integrate in 
applications like package managers, embedded devices, or systems lacking 
a C++ compiler.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the 
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0), 
or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). Decompression speed is 
intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 
from a data recovery perspective.

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

Changes in this version:

  * In test mode, clzip now continues checking the rest of the files if 
any input file is a terminal.

  * Trailing data are now shown both in hexadecimal and as a string of 
printable ASCII characters.
