			This package provides derived dump styles that allow compressed file
			I/O via compression libraries. This is similar to what is enabled
			through using the -DLAMMPS_GZIP preprocessor flag and a *.gz suffix on
			a dump file name when using a non-gz dump style (e.g. custom instead
			of custom/gz), but it does not open a pipe to an external executable
			that handles the compression. Instead these styles use library calls
			to libraries like zlib, and thus have to be compiled using the library
			header files and linked to the corresponding 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.

			Currently a few selected dump styles are supported for writing via
			this packaging.
