Readme

Snappy is a fast (de)compression library. It is written in C++, but a basic set of C bindings is also provided. Although the C bindings only support the "raw" Snappy format, this package provides support for the Snappy "frame" format on top of the raw C API, enabling extremely fast (de)compression of lazy (streamed) data.
