A go cli implementation of the Lz77 algorithm. This is just a quick and dirty implementation for learning purposes expect bugs and ineffeciencies
Assuming you have go installed just run go build gocomp.go there are no dependencies
To compress a file:
gocomp -i inputfile -o outputfile
To decompress a file:
gocomp -d -i inputfile -o outputfile
- It seems that some files only the first few chunk gets compressed and the rest filled with null bytes
- Quite slow
