Similarly, it is possible that some day there is a filter that will
compress better than LZMA2.
XZ Utils doesn't support multithreaded compression or decompression

that were created in threaded mode can be decompressed in threaded

a quick reference.
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:
