huffman encoder/decoder

huffman

A huffman coding library and command line interface to the library. The encoder is a 2 pass encoder. The first pass generates a huffman tree and the second pass encodes the data. The decoder is one pass and uses a huffman code table at the beginning of the compressed file to decode the data.

libhuffman has functions for encoding and decoding both files and memory.
