| Libaec provides fast lossless compression of 1 up to 32 bit wide |
| signed or unsigned integers (samples). The library achieves best |
| results for low entropy data as often encountered in space imaging |
| instrument data or numerical model output from weather or climate |
| simulations. While floating point representations are not directly |
| supported, they can also be efficiently coded by grouping exponents |
| and mantissa. |
