Range F7 11 01, ZStandard
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
Zstandard is a real-time compression algorithm, providing high compression
|
|
ratios. It offers a very wide range of compression / speed trade-off, while
|
|
being backed by a very fast decoder (see benchmarks below). It also offers a
|
|
special mode for small data, called dictionary compression, and can create
|
|
dictionaries from any sample set.

7-Zip Container Header:
|
|
Byte _ver_major; // currently 1
|
|
Byte _ver_minor; // currently 1
|
|
Byte _level; // currently 1..22
|
|
Byte _reserved[2];
|
|
- this header holds some information about the version, which was
|
|
used for creating that 7-Zip container data
|
|
- _ver_major should contain the major release of zstd
|
|
- _ver_minor should contain the major release of zstd
|
|
- _level should contain the level, the data is packed with
|
|
- the other two bytes should be set to zero currently and are
|
|
reserved for future use

Source Code: https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd
|
|
|
|
Modes:
|
|
- threading is supported through skippable frame id 0x184D2A50U
|
|
- all levels are supported (1..22)
|
|
- future versions of zstd will support multithreading out of the box
|
|
-> this new format is fully compatible with the one within this codec
|
|
- the codec is used as archiv handler also, see ZstdHandler.cpp
|
|
- this handler is does not use any additional headers, it supports the plain
|
|
zstd v1.0 format (this covers all current v1.x implemetations)
|
|
- when compiled with ZSTD_LEGACY_SUPPORT, then support is increased to these
|
|
addtional version numbers of zstd: v0.1 up v0.7
|
|
- future formats of this algorithm will be fully compatible with release v1.0 of
|
|
ZStandard (ZStandard 0.8 == ZStandard 1.0)
|
|
- one ID should be okay for this codec
|
|
|
|
Versions:
|
|
The 7-Zip codec will be kept in sync with the current releases of ZStandard.

Range F7 11 04, LZ4
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s
|
|
per core (0.16 Bytes/cycle). It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed
|
|
in multiple GB/s per core (0.71 Bytes/cycle). A high compression derivative,
|
|
called LZ4_HC, is available, trading customizable CPU time for compression
|
|
ratio. LZ4 library is provided as open source software using a BSD license.

|
|
Byte _reserved[2];
|
|
- this header holds some information about the version, which was

used for creating that 7-Zip container data
|
|
- _ver_major should contain the major release of LZ4
|
|
- _ver_minor should contain the major release of LZ4

|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
LZ5 is a modification of LZ4 which gives a better ratio at cost of slower
|
|
compression and decompression.

|
|
Byte _reserved[2];
|
|
- this header holds some information about the version, which was
|
|
used for creating that 7-Zip container data
|
|
- _ver_major should contain the major release of LZ5
|
