README

go-lz4

go-lz4 is port of LZ4 lossless compression algorithm to Go. The original C code is located at:

https://code.google.com/p/lz4/

Status

Usage

go get github.com/bkaradzic/go-lz4

import "github.com/bkaradzic/go-lz4"

The package name is lz4

Notes

• go-lz4 saves a uint32 with the original uncompressed length at the beginning of the encoded buffer. They may get in the way of interoperability with other implementations.

Constants

const (

	// MaxInputSize is the largest buffer than can be compressed in a single block
	MaxInputSize = 0x7E000000
)

Variables

var (
	// ErrCorrupt indicates the input was corrupt
	ErrCorrupt = errors.New("corrupt input")
)

var (
	// ErrTooLarge indicates the input buffer was too large
	ErrTooLarge = errors.New("input too large")
)

Functions

func CompressBound

func CompressBound(isize int) int

CompressBound returns the maximum length of a lz4 block, given it's uncompressed length

func Decode

func Decode(dst, src []byte) ([]byte, error)

Decode returns the decoded form of src. The returned slice may be a subslice of dst if it was large enough to hold the entire decoded block.

func Encode

func Encode(dst, src []byte) ([]byte, error)

Encode returns the encoded form of src. The returned array may be a sub-slice of dst if it was large enough to hold the entire output.
