7-Zip method IDs for 7z and xz archives
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
Version: 18.06
|
Date: 2018-06-30
|
|
Each compression or crypto method in 7z is associated with unique binary value (ID).
|
The length of ID in bytes is arbitrary but it can not exceed 63 bits (8 bytes).
|
|
xz and 7z formats use same ID map.
|
|
If you want to add some new ID, you have two ways:
|
1) Write request for allocating IDs to 7-Zip developers.
|
2) Generate 8-bytes ID:
|
|
3F ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ MM MM
|
|
3F - Prefix for random IDs (1 byte)
|
ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ - Developer ID (5 bytes). Use real random bytes.
|
|
MM MM - Method ID (2 bytes)
|
|
You can notify 7-Zip developers about your Developer ID / Method ID.
|
|
Note: Use new ID, if old codec can not decode data encoded with new version.
