Description

Here's support for the ZSTD compressor; it's a new compressing algorithm that's a lot faster than its competition while producing smaller files: on the speed:ratio envelope, it wins with all popular compressors starting from LZO to low levels of XZ.

Its file extension is .zst, tar also allows .tzst; I see that mc doesn't rely on tar supporting a file format thus it'll work regardless if you use an old tar that doesn't know ZSTD or a new version that does.
