1 Introduction
This is an FFI binding for the Snappy library from Google. Snappy provides very fast compression and decompression, though with large compressed sizes.
| (require snappy) | package: snappy |
Compresses the input bytestring and returns the
resulting bytestring.
procedure

input : (and/c bytes? valid-compression?)
Uncompresses the input bytestring and returns the
resulting bytestring.
procedure
(valid-compression? input) → boolean?
input : bytes?
Returns #t if input is a compressed
bytestring that can be uncompressed with Snappy.
Otherwise returns #f.
