+      This is a reference C implementation of the LZFSE compressor introduced in the Compression library with OS X 10.11 and iOS 9.
+      LZFSE is a Lempel-Ziv style data compression algorithm using Finite State Entropy coding.
+      It targets similar compression rates at higher compression and decompression speed compared to deflate using zlib.
