MicroLZMA is a yet another header format variant where the first byte of a raw LZMA stream (without the end of stream marker) has been replaced with a bitwise-negation of the lc/lp/pb properties byte. MicroLZMA was created to be used in EROFS but can be used by other things too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is important. This is implemented using most of the LZMA2 code as is so the amount of new code is small. The API has a few extra features compared to the XZ decoder. On the other hand, the API lacks XZ_BUF_ERROR support which is important to take into account when using this API. MicroLZMA doesn't support BCJ filters. In theory they could be added later as there are many unused/reserved values for the first byte of the compressed stream but in practice it is somewhat unlikely to happen due to a few implementation reasons.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
