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.
