			This package provides alternative styles that allow compressed file I/O
			via compression libraries. This is similar to what is enabled through
			using the -DLAMMPS_GZIP preprocessor flag, but it does not open a pipe
			to an external executable that handles the compression. These styles
			use library calls to libraries like zlib instead and thus have to be
			compiled using the library header files and linked to the respective
			library. This provides an alternative for compressed file I/O on systems
			where using a pipe can cause problems, e.g. when using RDMA communication
			with pinned memory like clusters with Infiniband or Myrinet.

			At the moment a few selected dump styles are supported
			for writing via this packaging.
