Lzd is a simplified decompressor for the lzip format with an educational 
purpose. Studying its source is a good first step to understand how lzip 
works. It is not safe to use lzd for any real work.

The source of lzd is used in the lzip manual as a reference decompressor 
in the description of the lzip file format. Reading the lzip manual will 
help you understand the source.

Lzd decompresses from standard input to standard output. Lzd will 
correctly decompress the concatenation of two or more compressed files. 
The result is the concatenation of the corresponding decompressed data. 
Integrity of such concatenated compressed input is also verified.

The lzd homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzd.html


Changes in this version:

  * It has been documented that the lzip format does not use the LZMA 
parameter 'literal_pos_state_bits'.
