How to use

This sample is a console application that takes at least one parameter (the source file name) to perform decompression. The sample's usage description is:

Decompress [options] input_file [output_file]

The parameters between brackets are optional. The option parameter can be used to specify the compression format (/m). If the compression format is omitted, the Standard compression format will be used to decompress. If the output file name is omitted, the sample will show the decompressed data to the console (the screen).
