+# lz4
+LZ4 compression and decompression in pure Go.
+
+## Usage
+
+```go
+import "github.com/pierrec/lz4"
+```
+
+## Description
+Package lz4 implements reading and writing lz4 compressed data (a frame),
+as specified in http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/04/lz4-streaming-format-final.html.
+
+This package is **compatible with the LZ4 frame format** although the block level compression
+and decompression functions are exposed and are fully compatible with the lz4 block format
+definition, they are low level and should not be used directly.
+
+For a complete description of an lz4 compressed block, see:
+http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2011/05/lz4-explained.html
+
+See https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4 for the reference C implementation.
