compress

Package provides a generic interface to compress and un-compress

Example

package main
import (
        "flag"
        "fmt"
        "io/ioutil"
        "log"
        "os"
        "strings"
        "github.com/ake-persson/compress"
        _ "github.com/ake-persson/compress/gzip"
        _ "github.com/ake-persson/compress/lzw"
        _ "github.com/ake-persson/compress/snappy"
        _ "github.com/ake-persson/compress/xz"
        _ "github.com/ake-persson/compress/zlib"
)

        fmt.Printf("Usage: example [options] file\n\nOptions:\n")
        flag.PrintDefaults()
        os.Exit(0)
}

        flag.Parse()
        if len(flag.Args()) < 1 {
                usage()
        }
        file := flag.Args()[0]
        a, err := compress.NewAlgorithm(*algo)
        if err != nil {

                }
                encoded, err := a.Encode(b)
                if err != nil {
                        log.Fatal(err)
                }
                if err := ioutil.WriteFile(*out+"."+*algo, encoded, 0644); err != nil {
