+LZMA SDK 19.00
+--------------
+
+LZMA SDK provides the documentation, samples, header files,
+libraries, and tools you need to develop applications that 
+use 7z / LZMA / LZMA2 / XZ compression.
+
+LZMA is an improved version of famous LZ77 compression algorithm. 
+It was improved in way of maximum increasing of compression ratio,
+keeping high decompression speed and low memory requirements for 
+decompressing.
+
+LZMA2 is a LZMA based compression method. LZMA2 provides better 
+multithreading support for compression than LZMA and some other improvements.
+
+7z is a file format for data compression and file archiving.
+7z is a main file format for 7-Zip compression program (www.7-zip.org).
+7z format supports different compression methods: LZMA, LZMA2 and others.
+7z also supports AES-256 based encryption.
+
+XZ is a file format for data compression that uses LZMA2 compression.
+XZ format provides additional features: SHA/CRC check, filters for 
+improved compression ratio, splitting to blocks and streams,

+LZMA features
+-------------
+  - Variable dictionary size (up to 1 GB)
+  - Estimated compressing speed: about 2 MB/s on 2 GHz CPU
+  - Estimated decompressing speed: 
+      - 20-30 MB/s on modern 2 GHz cpu
+      - 1-2 MB/s on 200 MHz simple RISC cpu: (ARM, MIPS, PowerPC)
+  - Small memory requirements for decompressing (16 KB + DictionarySize)
+  - Small code size for decompressing: 5-8 KB
+
+LZMA decoder uses only integer operations and can be 
+implemented in any modern 32-bit CPU (or on 16-bit CPU with some conditions).
+
+Some critical operations that affect the speed of LZMA decompression:
+  1) 32*16 bit integer multiply
+  2) Mispredicted branches (penalty mostly depends from pipeline length)
+  3) 32-bit shift and arithmetic operations
+
+The speed of LZMA decompressing mostly depends from CPU speed.
+Memory speed has no big meaning. But if your CPU has small data cache, 
+overall weight of memory speed will slightly increase.
+
+
+How To Use
+----------
+
+Using LZMA encoder/decoder executable
+--------------------------------------
+
+Usage:  LZMA <e|d> inputFile outputFile [<switches>...]
+
+  e: encode file
+
+  d: decode file
+
+  b: Benchmark. There are two tests: compressing and decompressing 
+     with LZMA method. Benchmark shows rating in MIPS (million 
+     instructions per second). Rating value is calculated from 
+     measured speed and it is normalized with Intel's Core 2 results.
+     Also Benchmark checks possible hardware errors (RAM 
+     errors in most cases). Benchmark uses these settings:
+     (-a1, -d21, -fb32, -mfbt4). You can change only -d parameter. 
+     Also you can change the number of iterations. Example for 30 iterations:
+       LZMA b 30
+     Default number of iterations is 10.
+
+<Switches>
+  
+
+  -a{N}:  set compression mode 0 = fast, 1 = normal
+          default: 1 (normal)
+
+  d{N}:   Sets Dictionary size - [0, 30], default: 23 (8MB)
+          The maximum value for dictionary size is 1 GB = 2^30 bytes.
+          Dictionary size is calculated as DictionarySize = 2^N bytes. 
+          For decompressing file compressed by LZMA method with dictionary 
+          size D = 2^N you need about D bytes of memory (RAM).
+
+  -fb{N}: set number of fast bytes - [5, 273], default: 128
+          Usually big number gives a little bit better compression ratio 
+          and slower compression process.
+
+  -lc{N}: set number of literal context bits - [0, 8], default: 3
+          Sometimes lc=4 gives gain for big files.
+
+  -lp{N}: set number of literal pos bits - [0, 4], default: 0
+          lp switch is intended for periodical data when period is 
+          equal 2^N. For example, for 32-bit (4 bytes) 
+          periodical data you can use lp=2. Often it's better to set lc0, 
+          if you change lp switch.
+
+  -pb{N}: set number of pos bits - [0, 4], default: 2
+          pb switch is intended for periodical data 
+          when period is equal 2^N.
+
+  -mf{MF_ID}: set Match Finder. Default: bt4. 
+              Algorithms from hc* group doesn't provide good compression 
+              ratio, but they often works pretty fast in combination with 
+              fast mode (-a0).
+
+              Memory requirements depend from dictionary size 
+              (parameter "d" in table below). 
+
+               MF_ID     Memory                   Description
+
+                bt2    d *  9.5 + 4MB  Binary Tree with 2 bytes hashing.
+                bt3    d * 11.5 + 4MB  Binary Tree with 3 bytes hashing.
+                bt4    d * 11.5 + 4MB  Binary Tree with 4 bytes hashing.
+                hc4    d *  7.5 + 4MB  Hash Chain with 4 bytes hashing.
+
+  -eos:   write End Of Stream marker. By default LZMA doesn't write 
+          eos marker, since LZMA decoder knows uncompressed size 
+          stored in .lzma file header.
+
+  -si:    Read data from stdin (it will write End Of Stream marker).
+  -so:    Write data to stdout
+
+
+Examples:
+
+1) LZMA e file.bin file.lzma -d16 -lc0 
+
+compresses file.bin to file.lzma with 64 KB dictionary (2^16=64K)  
+and 0 literal context bits. -lc0 allows to reduce memory requirements 
+for decompression.
+
+
+2) LZMA e file.bin file.lzma -lc0 -lp2
+
+compresses file.bin to file.lzma with settings suitable 
+for 32-bit periodical data (for example, ARM or MIPS code).
+
+3) LZMA d file.lzma file.bin
+
+decompresses file.lzma to file.bin.
+
+
+Compression ratio hints
+-----------------------
+
+Recommendations
+---------------
+
+To increase the compression ratio for LZMA compressing it's desirable 
+to have aligned data (if it's possible) and also it's desirable to locate
+data in such order, where code is grouped in one place and data is 
+grouped in other place (it's better than such mixing: code, data, code,
+data, ...).
+
+
+Filters
+-------
+You can increase the compression ratio for some data types, using
+special filters before compressing. For example, it's possible to 
+increase the compression ratio on 5-10% for code for those CPU ISAs: 
+x86, IA-64, ARM, ARM-Thumb, PowerPC, SPARC.
+
+You can find C source code of such filters in C/Bra*.* files
+
+You can check the compression ratio gain of these filters with such 
+7-Zip commands (example for ARM code):
+No filter:
+  7z a a1.7z a.bin -m0=lzma
+
+With filter for little-endian ARM code:
+  7z a a2.7z a.bin -m0=arm -m1=lzma        
+
+It works in such manner:
+Compressing    = Filter_encoding + LZMA_encoding
+Decompressing  = LZMA_decoding + Filter_decoding
+
+Compressing and decompressing speed of such filters is very high,
+so it will not increase decompressing time too much.
+Moreover, it reduces decompression time for LZMA_decoding, 
+since compression ratio with filtering is higher.
+
+These filters convert CALL (calling procedure) instructions 
+from relative offsets to absolute addresses, so such data becomes more 
+compressible.
+
+For some ISAs (for example, for MIPS) it's impossible to get gain from such filter.
