-The most widely known example of an erasure code is the RAID-5 algorithm which
-makes it so that in the event of the loss of any one hard drive, the stored
-data can be completely recovered. The algorithm in the zfec package has a
-similar effect, but instead of recovering from the loss of only a single
-element, it can be parameterized to choose in advance the number of elements
-whose loss it can tolerate.

-This package is largely based on the old "fec" library by Luigi Rizzo et al.,
-which is a mature and optimized implementation of erasure coding. The zfec
-package makes several changes from the original "fec" package, including
-addition of the Python API, refactoring of the C API to support zero-copy
-operation, a few clean-ups and optimizations of the core code itself, and the
-addition of a command-line tool named "zfec".
