decompress

tinycompress.lzssw.decompress(data, ringsize=4096, maxmatchlen=16, commonbyte=32)[source]

Decompresses LZSSW-compressed data.

This is a convenience function that creates a decompressor with specified parameters, decompresses the data, and returns the result. The parameters must match those used during compression.

Parameters:

  • data (Union[bytes, bytearray, memoryview, Iterable[int]]) – LZSSW-compressed data to decompress.

  • ringsize (int) – Size of the ring buffer, must match compression setting.

  • maxmatchlen (int) – Maximum length of matched sequences, must match compression.

  • commonbyte (int) – Value used to fill the initial ring buffer, must match compression.

Returns:

Decompressed data as bytes.

Raises:

LZSSWException – If any parameters are out of their valid ranges.
