For developers and IT pros, the lz4_win64_v1_8_3.zip package provides a standalone CLI tool and the necessary headers for integration. Common applications include:
LZ4 employs an LZ77-based mechanism. It represents the data as a series of sequences, each starting with a one-byte token split into two 4-bit fields. The first field indicates the number of literal bytes to copy to the output, while the second field indicates how many bytes to copy from the already decoded output buffer (with a minimum match length of 4 bytes). If either field has a value of 15, additional bytes are used to represent longer lengths. After the literals and offset, match-length extra bytes complete the sequence.
