What is cookfs?

Cookfs is a Tcl virtual filesystem using a compressed archive format to allow embedding multiple files in an archive that Tcl scripts can access directly.

It is optimized for storing Tcl packages (allowing around 10%-20% smaller sizes ratio than mk4vfs while still using zlib compression), small, fast and integrated with Tcl.

It is designed only for use as Tcl VFS and provides multiple optimizations especially for delivering Tcl based standalone applications.
