# The archivers/blosc2 port

## blosc2-2.23.1 – fast, compressed, persistent binary data store library for C

## Description

    Blosc is a high performance compressor optimized for binary data
    (i.e. floating point numbers, integers and booleans, although it
    can handle string data too). It has been designed to transmit data
    to the processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed,
    direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc main
    goal is not just to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or
    in-memory, but also to accelerate memory-bound computations.

    C-Blosc2 is the new major version of C-Blosc, and is backward
    compatible with both the C-Blosc1 API and its in-memory format.
    However, the reverse thing is generally not true for the format;
    buffers generated with C-Blosc2 are not format-compatible with
    C-Blosc1 (i.e. forward compatibility is not supported). In case you
    want to ensure full API compatibility with C-Blosc1 API, define the
    BLOSC1_COMPAT symbol.
