QuickLZ
Cross-platform fast compression library
Website: https://www.quicklz.com
Platforms supported: Windows, Linux, DOS, FreeBSD, Haiku
Headers to include: quicklz.bi
Header version: 1.5.0
Example: examples/compression/QuickLZ.bas
The file example reads one independent QuickLZ 1.5.0 packet. It accepts nonempty input up to 16 MiB uncompressed and requires a new or empty output file. Before decompression it validates the header, byte counts, compression level and allocation limit. The decoder must have been compiled with QLZ_MEMORY_SAFE; defining the macro only in FreeBASIC does not change checks in an existing C library. A corrupt packet can still decode to incorrect data, so applications needing integrity must supply their own checksum or authenticated transport.
FreeBSD and Haiku can use a native static build of the matching QuickLZ 1.5.0 C source. Compile quicklz.c with -DQLZ_MEMORY_SAFE, compression level 1 and streaming buffer 0, then place the resulting libquicklz.a on the compiler library search path with -p. The file example has completed binary compression/decompression round trips on both targets. Debian does not currently provide a matching development package, so installing the optional package set does not supply this SDK.
