Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip
compressed data format (.lz). Lziprecover also provides Forward Error
Correction (FEC) able to repair any kind of file. A fec file produced by
lziprecover can be base64-coded and then used as recovery record for a
tar.lz archive.
If the cause of file corruption is a damaged medium, the combination GNU
ddrescue[1] + lziprecover is the recommended option for recovering data from
damaged files.

Changes in this version:
* '--fec=create' can now process efficiently input files larger than RAM.
If the size of the input file is larger than half the system's RAM,
'--fec=create' now creates all the packets of the fec file concurrently to
avoid reading the input file more than once.
* '--fec=repair' and '--fec=test' can now process input files larger than
RAM.
* '--fec=repair/test/list' now exit immediately with a diagnostic if the
protected file is passed by mistake as the fec file.
* Large numbers are now accepted as input and printed with underscore
separators (123_456_789).
* '-dvv' and '-tvv' now print (de)compressed sizes instead of compression
ratio. (Sizes are more informative than compression ratio).
* '-lvv' now prints a blank line between the list of members of each
multimember file and the next file.
