       This manual page documents briefly the libmsnumpress software package.

       The library provides implementations of 3 different algorithms, 1 designed to compress first order smooth
       data like retention time or M/Z arrays, and 2 for compressing non smooth data with lower requirements  on
       precision like ion count arrays.

libmsnumpress         —             Implementations of two compression schemes for numeric data from mass
       spectrometers.

       The  library  is documented fully in the  developerdocumentation, that is packaged in the libmsnumpress-dev-doc  package.   That   documentation   is   available   in   the   form   of   HTML-formatted   files
       (/usr/share/doc/libmsnumpress-dev-doc.pdf).
