Module: Omnizip::Formats::Lzip

Defined in:
lib/omnizip/formats/lzip.rb

Overview

LZIP (.lz) compression format

Lzip is a file compression format that uses LZMA compression with a simple container format. It was created as an alternative to the legacy .lzma format with better integrity checking.

This is DIFFERENT from both XZ and .lzma (LZMA_Alone) formats:

  • XZ (.xz): Container format with stream header/footer/index, LZMA2 compression
  • LZIP (.lz): Standalone format with "LZIP" magic and CRC32 footer, LZMA1 compression
  • LZMA_Alone (.lzma): Legacy standalone format with properties byte, LZMA1 compression

Format structure:

  • Header (6 bytes):
    • Magic bytes: "LZIP" (0x4C 0x5A 0x49 0x50)
    • Version (1 byte): 0 or 1
    • Dictionary size (1 byte): encoded format
  • LZMA1 compressed stream (with fixed LC=3, LP=0, PB=2)
  • Footer:
    • Version 0 (12 bytes): CRC32 (4) + Uncompressed size (8)
    • Version 1 (20 bytes): CRC32 (4) + Uncompressed size (8) + Member size (8)

end

.decode(input) ⇒ String

Decode LZIP data (alias for decompress with no output)

Parameters:

    If true, skip CRC32 verification (default: false)

  • :concatenated (Boolean) —

    If true, decode concatenated .lz members (default: false)

Returns:
