Description

TianoCompress tool encodes or decodes files with the EFI extension encode or decode algorithm. When the "-e" option is specified in command line, the tool will encode the input file with EFI extension encode algorithm; when "-d" option is specified in the command line, the tool will decode the input file with EFI extension decode algorithm. When decoding a file, the tool performs some rudimentary checking on the input files to verify that they were compressed by the EFI extension algorithm. These checks include:

• Checking the input file header (8 bytes header);

• Checking the first 4 bytes is component size (not usable);

• Checking the following 4 bytes are the original size of the input file size and that it is the decompressed file size.

The tool does not perform any checking when encoding the file..
