2022-07-13liblzma: Add optional autodetection of LZMA end marker.Lasse Collin1-2/+9
Turns out that this is needed for .lzma files as the spec in LZMA SDK says that end marker may be present even if the size is stored in the header. Such files are rare but exist in the real world. The code in liblzma is so old that the spec didn't exist in LZMA SDK back then and I had understood that such files weren't possible (the lzma tool in LZMA SDK didn't create such files). This modifies the internal API so that LZMA decoder can be told if EOPM is allowed even when the uncompressed size is known. It's allowed with .lzma and not with other uses. Thanks to Karl Beldan for reporting the problem.

2014-01-29Docs: Add example program for threaded encoding.Lasse Collin2-1/+186
I didn't add -DLZMA_UNSTABLE to Makefile so one has to specify it manually as long as LZMA_UNSTABLE is needed.

Thanks to Jonathan Nieder.
2012-06-14Docs: Add new example programs.Lasse Collin5-0/+827
These have more comments than the old examples and human-readable error messages. More tutorial-like examples are needed but these are a start.
2012-06-14Docs: Move xz_pipe_comp.c and xz_pipe_decomp.c to doc/examples_old.Lasse Collin2-0/+0
It is good to keep these around to so that if someone has copied the decompressor bug from xz_pipe_decomp.c he has an example how to easily fix it.

2010-07-13Add two simple example programs.Lasse Collin2-0/+242
Hopefully these help a bit when learning the basics of liblzma API. I plan to write detailed examples about both basic and advanced features with lots of comments, but these two examples are good have right now. The examples were written by Daniel Mealha Cabrita. Thanks.

2009-08-18Updated faq.txt.Lasse Collin1-166/+73
Some questions worth answering were removed, because I currently don't have good up to date answers to them.

Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2009-01-28The .xz file format specification version 1.0.0 is nowLasse Collin1-35/+49
officially released. The format has been technically the same since 2008-11-19, but now that it is frozen, people can start using it without a fear that the format will break.
2008-12-09Put the file format specification into the public domain.Lasse Collin1-15/+9
Same will be done to the actual code later.
2008-11-19Oh well, big messy commit again. Some highlights:Lasse Collin1-114/+146
- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version. - Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore. Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway. - Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression and about 90 % for compression. - Progress indicator with --verbose - Simplified --help and full --long-help - Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib. - Some bug fixes
2008-09-27Updated file format specification. It changes the suffixLasse Collin1-93/+32
of the new format to .xz and removes the recently added LZMA filter.

2008-01-16Tiny non-technical edits to file-format.txt.Lasse Collin1-3/+3
2008-01-06Introduced compatibility with systems that have pre-C99Lasse Collin1-2/+8
or no inttypes.h. This is useful when the compiler has good enough support for C99, but libc headers don't. Changed liblzma API so that sys/types.h and inttypes.h have to be #included before #including lzma.h. On systems that don't have C99 inttypes.h, it's the problem of the applications to provide the required types and macros before #including lzma.h. If lzma.h defined the missing types and macros, it could conflict with third-party applications whose configure has detected that the types are missing and defined them in config.h already. An alternative would have been introducing lzma_uint32 and similar types, but that would just be an extra pain on modern systems.
