Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its
small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software
installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression
capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lunzip.html
Changes in this version:
* The new option "-u, --buffer-size", which activates a "low memory"
decompression mode, has been added.
If the size of the output buffer is specified with the "--buffer-size"
option, lunzip uses the decompressed file as dictionary for distances
beyond the buffer size and is able to decompress any file using as
little memory as 50 kB, irrespective of the dictionary size used to
compress the file. Of course, the smaller the output buffer size used in
relation to the dictionary size, the more accesses to disk are needed
and the slower the decompression is. This "low memory" mode only works
when decompressing to a regular file.
* File date, permissions, and ownership are now copied like "cp -p" does.
* This version is portable to very old hardware. It has been compiled
and tested on a laptop with a 486 processor and 4MiB of RAM.

Antonio Diaz, lunzip author and maintainer.
