When writing scripts that need to decompress files, it is recommended to always use the name \fBlz4\fR with appropriate arguments (\fBlz4 \-d\fR or \fBlz4 \-dc\fR) instead of the names \fBunlz4\fR and \fBlz4cat\fR\.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-\fBlz4\fR is an extremely fast lossless compression algorithm, based on \fBbyte\-aligned LZ77\fR family of compression scheme\. \fBlz4\fR offers compression speeds of 400 MB/s per core, linearly scalable with multi\-core CPUs\. It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limit on multi\-core systems\. The native file format is the \fB\.lz4\fR format\.
