The first fourth low bits identifies if the cluster is compressed (4) or not (0). The default is uncompressed indicated by a value of 0 or 1 (obsoleted, inherited by Zeno) while compressed clusters are indicated by a value of 4 which indicates [[LZMA2 compression]] (or more precisely XZ, since there is a XZ header). There have been other compression algorithms used before (2: zlib, 3: bzip2) which have been removed. The zimlib uses [http://tukaani.org/xz/ xz-utils] as a C++ implementation of lzma2, for Java see [http://tukaani.org/xz/java.html XZ-Java]. | The first fourth low bits identifies if the cluster is compressed (4) or not (0).
