Description
Boost.IOstreams has support for BZ2, GZIP, and DEFLATE compression/decompression. To be able to read output from the POSIX-standard compress utility, it would be nice if the library also supported compression and decompression with the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) algorithm.
Here are some LZW implementations that might be of use:
- LZW Revisited by Mark Nelson
- Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) Encoding Discussion and Implementation by Michael Dipperstein
- libfreetype2's LZW support
- LZW compression on Rosetta Code
