## LZW

LZW data compression implementation in C compatible with [ncompress](https://vapier.github.io/ncompress/).

This is a hobby project under development

### How to use

To build from source you can run

```bash

make

```

then run the executable to compress `input.txt` and write the compressed data to `compressed.Z`:

```bash

cat ./input.txt | ./lzw > ./compressed.Z

```

`compressed.Z` can now be decompressed using both [ncompress](https://vapier.github.io/ncompress/) and the program itself. For example:

```bash

cat compressed.Z | compress -d

# or

cat compressed.Z | ./lzw -d

```

### Tests

To run unit tests you can run

```bash

make unit-test

```
