This is the place for the active development of p7zip to include major modern codecs such as Brotli, Fast LZMA2, LZ4, LZ5, Lizard and Zstd. In order to support multithreading for those addional codecs, this project depends on the [Multithreading Library](https://github.com/mcmilk/zstdmt). # status [![ubuntu-badge]][ubuntu-link] [ubuntu-link]: https://github.com/szcnick/p7zip/actions?query=workflow%3AUbuntu "UbuntuL" [ubuntu-badge]: https://github.com/szcnick/p7zip/workflows/Ubuntu/badge.svg "UbuntuB" ## Codec overview 1. [Zstandard] v1.4.5 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. - Levels: 1..19 2. [LZ4] v1.9.3 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. - Levels: 1..12 3. [Fast LZMA2] v1.0.1 is a LZMA2 compression algorithm, 20% to 100% faster than normal LZMA2 at levels 5 and above, but with a slightly lower compression ratio. It uses a parallel buffered radix matchfinder and some optimizations from Zstandard. The codec uses much less additional memory per thread than standard LZMA2. - Levels: 1..9 4. [Brotli] v1.0.9 is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. - Levels: 0..11 5. [LZ5] v1.5 is a modification of LZ4 which gives a better ratio at cost of slower compression and decompression. - Levels: 1..15 6. [Lizard] v1.0 is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and medium compression levels) at decompression speed of 1000 MB/s and faster. - Levels 10..19 (fastLZ4) are designed to give about 10% better decompression speed than LZ4 - Levels 20..29 (LIZv1) are designed to give better ratio than LZ4 keeping 75% decompression speed - Levels 30..39 (fastLZ4 + Huffman) adds Huffman coding to fastLZ4 - Levels 40..49 (LIZv1 + Huffman) give the best ratio, comparable to zlib and low levels of zstd/brotli, but with a faster decompression speed ## Benchmark We use [silesia](http://sun.aei.polsl.pl/~sdeor/index.php?page=silesia) files(total size 211938580 Byte) for packaging.

(OR make 7za) 3. ./bin/7z i . (OR 7za i) The output should look like this: ``` 7-Zip (a) [64] 17.02 : Copyright (c) 1999-2020 Igor Pavlov p7zip Version 17.02 (locale=zh_CN.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,64 bits,12 CPUs x64) Formats: ... 0 CK xz xz txz (.tar) FD 7 z X Z 00 0 Z z taz (.tar) 1F 9D 0 CK zstd zst tzstd (.tar) 0 x F D 2 F B 5 2 5 . . 0 x F D 2 F B 5 2 8 00 0 C F 7z 7z 7 z BC AF ' 1C 0 F Cab cab M S C F 00 00 00 00 ...
