Convenience library for reading and writing compressed files/streams
The aim of compress_io is to make
it simple for an application to support multiple compression formats with a minimal effort
from the developer and also from the user (i.e., an application can accept uncompressed
or compressed input in a range of different formats and neither the developer nor the user
have to specify which formats have been used). compress_io does not provide the compression/decompression itself but uses external utilities
such as gzip, bzip2 or zstd as read or write filters.
