archiv

archiv is a library and CLI for working with .archiv files.

.archiv files are a simplistic "file format" that keeps getting reinvented, by me.

This file format is:

A header, then, repeatedly: * length, 8 bytes, little-endian: the length of the following data * data, the data

You've probably heard of this before.

On top of this we can layer things like:

• [x] stream compression
• [x] item compression
• [x] item compression with a shared dictionary
• [ ] item compression with an embedded dictionary
• [ ] parallel processing of item compressed files
• [ ] indexes
• [ ] docs and shared terminology
