MozLz4a compression/decompression utility
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# Decompressor/compressor for files in Mozilla's "mozLz4" format. Firefox uses this file format to
# compress e. g. bookmark backups (*.jsonlz4).
#
# This file format is in fact just plain LZ4 data with a custom header (magic number [8 bytes] and
# uncompressed file size [4 bytes, little endian]).
#
# This Python 3 script requires the LZ4 bindings for Python, see: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lz4
