Use this to compress file?

Closed this issue · 1 comments

If I read a file, then divide the file into blocks, each blocks is an array of uint32_t, then I use the library to compress that uint32_t array, then will it be efficient?

Also, what happens if I repeatedly compress the output, how far would I go before the output size >= the input size? I know there should be a limit

Also, in the readme:

The assumption is either that you have a list of 32-bit integers where most of them are small

What is the limit of small?

Thank you!

Thanks for the questions. If you feel like the library is the right tool for you, I recommend you put it to the test in your context. Then if you encounter bugs or lack of documentation, please open an issue.

The library is a low-level library that requires you to design your own binary formats.
