## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

crabz is a Rust compression and decompression CLI explicitly positioned as similar to pigz.

### Projektgeschichte

The project began as a proof-of-concept command-line wrapper around the author's `gzp` Rust crate. The README describes it as cross-platform and fast, with support for gzip, zlib, mgzip, BGZF, raw deflate, and snap formats.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

crabz is distributed through several package channels documented by the project itself, including Homebrew or Linuxbrew, Debian packages from GitHub releases, Cargo, and conda-forge.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users call `crabz` to compress or decompress files, select formats, control compression level, set thread counts, and optionally write in place or to standard output.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

crabz is notable in packaging circles as a Rust-era counterpart to classic Unix compression tools: one binary, package-manager friendly, and tuned for multi-threaded compression without requiring a custom zlib-ng pigz build.

### Zeitleiste

- v0.1.0: Initial public release series on GitHub.
- v0.10.0: Release series moved to updated Rust compression dependencies and packaging artifacts.

### Related projects

- crabz is directly compared with pigz and is built on the `gzp` library.
