LZMA is a compression algorithm, based on the famous Lempel Ziv compression method. . The main characteristics of the algorithm are very good compression, fast decompression, use of lot of RAM for compression and low usage of RAM for decompression. . LZMA provides high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used for ROM (firmware) compression. . This package provides the source code for the lzma kernel modules. Kernel source and headers are required to compile these modules.
