archiv is a library and CLI for working with .archiv files.
.archiv files are a simplistic "file format" that keeps getting

This file format is:
A header, then, repeatedly:
length, 8 bytes, little-endian: the length of the following datadata, the data
You've probably heard of this before.
On top of this we can layer things like:
-

item compression
-
item compression with a shared dictionary

item compression with an embedded dictionary
-
parallel processing of item compressed files
-
indexes
-
docs and shared terminology
