Summary: Parallel Zstandard tool
Description: 
Parallel Zstandard is a Pigz-like tool for Zstandard.

It provides Zstandard format compatible compression and decompression
that is able to utilize multiple cores.  It breaks the input up into
equal sized chunks and compresses each chunk independently into a
Zstandard frame.  It then concatenates the frames together to produce
the final compressed output.  Pzstandard will write a 12 byte header for
each frame that is a skippable frame in the Zstandard format, which
tells PZstandard the size of the next compressed frame.

PZstandard supports parallel decompression of files compressed with
PZstandard.  When decompressing files compressed with Zstandard,
PZstandard does IO in one thread, and decompression in another.
