AOCL-Compression provides two sets of APIs for applications to integrate with it:
Unified API set: A set of common APIs that can be used to compress and decompress input data using these widely used compression algorithms: lz4, zlib/deflate, lzma, zstd, bzip2, snappy, and lz4hc. It provides ease of integration as minimal code modifications are needed for addition of new compression methods using a unified interface.
Native API set: Native API s of all the above-mentioned compression methods are supported. As full ABI compliance is ensured, applications that are already integrated with the standard compression libraries can link to AOCL-Compression library with no code change or re-compilation.
If any fine tuning is needed at runtime, appropriate environment variables need to be set before running the application. Refer to Performance Tuning for details.
