Summary

Provides a low-level interface to the compress/lzw package.

Package lzw implements the Lempel-Ziv-Welch compressed data format,
described in T. A. Welch, “A Technique for High-Performance Data
Compression”, Computer, 17(6) (June 1984), pp 8-19.

In particular, it implements LZW as used by the GIF and PDF file
formats, which means variable-width codes up to 12 bits and the first
two non-literal codes are a clear code and an EOF code.

The TIFF file format uses a similar but incompatible version of the LZW
algorithm. See the golang.org/x/image/tiff/lzw package for an
implementation.

Constants

Constants are variables with :const true in their metadata. Joker currently does not recognize them as special; as such, it allows redefining them or their values.
