This package contains bindings for LZ4, a very fast lossless compression algorithm.
The bindings are available via OPAM:
$ opam install lz4
Alternatively, you can do it manually:
$ opam install ctypes
$ ./configure
$ make all install
The bindings are contained in findlib package lz4.
To roundtrip some data:
let data = "wild wild fox" in
let compressed = LZ4.Bytes.compress (Bytes.of_string data) in
let decompressed = LZ4.Bytes.decompress ~length:(String.length data) compressed in
Printf.printf "%S\n" (Bytes.to_string data) (* => "wild wild fox" *)The API documentation is available at GitHub pages.
3-clause BSD (same as LZ4).
