Binary package “lzma” in ubuntu-leb oneiric
Compression method of 7z format in 7-Zip program
LZMA is a compression algorithm, based on the famous Lempel Ziv
compression method.
.
The main characteristics of the algorithm are very good compression,
fast decompression, use of lot of RAM for compression and low usage of
RAM for decompression.
.
LZMA provides high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it
is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used
for ROM (firmware) compression.
.
This package provides a gzip-like interface for the lzma program.
