 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C

What is it?
===========

Blosc (http://www.blosc.org) is a high performance meta-compressor
optimized for binary data.  It has been designed to transmit data to
the processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed,
direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call.

Blosc has internal support for different compressors like its internal
BloscLZ, but also LZ4, LZ4HC, Snappy, Zlib and Zstd.  This way these can
automatically leverage the multithreading and pre-filtering
(shuffling) capabilities that comes with Blosc.


Download sources
================

The github repository is over here:


Blosc is distributed using the BSD license, see LICENSES/BLOSC.txt for
details.


Mailing list
============

There is an official Blosc mailing list at:



Enjoy Data!
