libzstd/1.5.5+1

[full]

Zstandard lossless compression algorithm C library

This is a build2 package for the zstd C library. It provides a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios. Zstandard's format is stable and documented in RFC8878.

Usage

To start using libzstd in your project, add the following depends value to your manifest, adjusting the version constraint as appropriate:

depends: libzstd ^1.5.5

Then import the library in your buildfile:

import libs = libzstd%lib{zstd}

Note also that the lib{zstd} library provides build2 metadata that describes its configuration:
