Exported Type Names


	type Order int
		Order specifies the bit ordering in an LZW data stream.

		
			func NewReader(r io.Reader, order Order, litWidth int) io.ReadCloser
			func NewWriter(w io.Writer, order Order, litWidth int) io.WriteCloser
		
			const LSB
			const MSB

Exported Values


	const LSB Order = 0
		LSB means Least Significant Bits first, as used in the GIF file format.


	const MSB Order = 1
		MSB means Most Significant Bits first, as used in the TIFF and PDF
		file formats.


	 func NewReader(r io.Reader, order Order, litWidth int) io.ReadCloser
		NewReader creates a new io.ReadCloser.
		Reads from the returned io.ReadCloser read and decompress data from r.
		If r does not also implement io.ByteReader,
		the decompressor may read more data than necessary from r.
		It is the caller's responsibility to call Close on the ReadCloser when
		finished reading.
		The number of bits to use for literal codes, litWidth, must be in the
		range [2,8] and is typically 8. It must equal the litWidth
		used during compression.


	 func NewWriter(w io.Writer, order Order, litWidth int) io.WriteCloser
		NewWriter creates a new io.WriteCloser.
		Writes to the returned io.WriteCloser are compressed and written to w.
		It is the caller's responsibility to call Close on the WriteCloser when
		finished writing.
		The number of bits to use for literal codes, litWidth, must be in the
		range [2,8] and is typically 8. Input bytes must be less than 1<<litWidth.
