Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install zmat on Fedora 34.

What is `zmat`

ZMat is a portable C library to enable easy-to-use data compression and decompression (such as zlib/gzip/lzma/lzip/lz4/lz4hc algorithms) and base64 encoding/decoding in an application. It is fast and compact, can process a large array within a fraction of a second. Among the supported compression methods, lz4 is the fastest for compression/decompression; lzma is the slowest but has the highest compression ratio; zlib/gzip have the best balance between speed and compression time. zmat 0.9.8 6.fc34 x86_64 106 k zmat-0.9.8-6.fc34.src.rpm fedora An easy-to-use data compression library https GPLv3+ ZMat is a portable C library to enable easy-to-use data compression and decompression (such as zlib/gzip/lzma/lzip/lz4/lz4hc algorithms) and base64 encoding/decoding in an application.
