The text describes a data compression algorithm for log files. The algorithm works by finding and encoding matching sequences of characters between two neighboring lines in the log file. The length of the matching sequence is encoded as a single byte with value 128 + l, where l is the length of the sequence and l < 127. If l is not smaller than 127, then a sequence of m bytes with value 255 is used, followed by a single byte with value 128 + n, where l = 127 * m + n.

To prevent the byte value range of 128-255 from being mistaken as part of the log data, the algorithm uses an escape flag (127) before any such value is encountered. This allows the transform to be fully reversible, meaning the compressed log data can be decompressed back to its original form.

The example input is the beginning of two neighboring lines from a fp.log test file. The algorithm starts by matching characters from the beginning of the line, and if it finds a match, it encodes the length of the matching sequence using the described encoding method. The algorithm continues this process until the entire line has been processed. The output is the compressed line, represented by the encoded sequences in round brackets.
