zstd: zstd (real-time compression algorithm) zstd: zstd: Zstandard is a real-time compression algorithm, providing high zstd: compression ratios. It offers a very wide range of compression/speed zstd: trade-off, while being backed by a very fast decoder. zstd: It also offers a special mode for small data, called dictionary zstd: compression, and can create dictionaries from any sample set. zstd: Zstandard library is provided as open source software using zstd: a BSD license. zstd: zstd: zstd home: http://zstd.net/
