I have planned to write a bunch of very well documented example |
|
|
|
programs, which (due to comments) should work as a tutorial to |
|
|
|
various features of liblzma. No such example programs have been |
|
|
|
written yet. |
|
|
|
There are a few example/tutorial programs that should help in |
|
|
|
getting started with liblzma. In the source package the examples |
|
|
|
are in "doc/examples" and in binary packages they may be under |
|
|
|
"examples" in the same directory as this README. |

For now, if you have never used liblzma, libbzip2, or zlib, I |
|
|
|
recommend learning the *basics* of the zlib API. Once you know that, |
|
|
|
it should be easier to learn liblzma. |
|
|
|
Since the liblzma API has similarities to the zlib API, some people |
|
|
|
may find it useful to read the zlib docs and tutorial too: |
