Guix

The zchunk compressed file format allows splitting a file into independent chunks. This makes it possible to retrieve only changed chunks when downloading a new version of the file, and also makes zchunk files efficient over rsync. Along with the library, this package provides the following utilities:

unzck

To decompress a zchunk file.

zck

To compress a new zchunk file, or re-compress an existing one.

zck_delta_size

To calculate the difference between two zchunk files.

zck_gen_zdict

To create a dictionary for a zchunk file.

zck_read_header

To read a zchunk header.

zckdl

To download a zchunk file.
