+Libaec provides fast lossless compression of 1 up to 32 bit wide signed or
+unsigned integers (samples). The library achieves best results for low entropy
+data as often encountered in space imaging instrument data or numerical model
+output from weather or climate simulations. While floating point
+representations are not directly supported, they can also be efficiently coded
+by grouping exponents and mantissa.
+
+Libaec implements Golomb-Rice coding as defined in the Space Data System
+Standard documents [121.0-B-2][1] and [120.0-G-2][2].
+
+Libaec can replace SZIP.
