    NAME

    zlib - compression/decompression library
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    [see zlib.h for full description]  

    DESCRIPTION

    The zlib library is a general purpose data compression library. The code is thread safe. It provides in-memory compression and decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed data. This version of the library supports only one compression method (deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same stream interface.

    Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by repeated calls of the compression function. In the latter case, the application must provide more input and/or consume the output (providing more output space) before each call.

    The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip(1) (.gz) format with an interface similar to that of stdio.

    The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never crash even in case of corrupted input.

    All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h. The distribution source includes examples of use of the library in the files example.c and minigzip.c.

    Changes to this version are documented in the file ChangeLog that accompanies the source, and are concerned primarily with bug fixes and portability enhancements.

    A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit 1.1:

    http://www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/api/Package-java.util.zip.html

    A Perl interface to zlib, written by Paul Marquess (pmqs@cpan.org), is available at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including:

    http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Compress/

    A Python interface to zlib, written by A.M. Kuchling (amk@magnet.com), is available in Python 1.5 and later versions:

    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-zlib.html

    A zlib binding for tcl(1), written by Andreas Kupries (a.kupries@westend.com), is availlable at:

    http://www.westend.com/~kupries/doc/trf/man/man.html

    An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top of zlib by Gilles Vollant (info@winimage.com), is available at:

    http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html and also in the contrib/minizip directory of the main zlib web site.

    The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFC (Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files:

    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt (concerning zlib format)
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt (concerning deflate format)
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt (concerning gzip format)

    These documents are also available in other formats from:

    ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html

    Mark Nelson (markn@ieee.org) wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at:

    REPORTING PROBLEMS

    Before reporting a problem, please check the zlib web site to verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise, obtain the latest version and see if the problem still exists. Please read the zlib FAQ at:
    http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_faq.html

    before asking for help. Send questions and/or comments to zlib@gzip.org, or (for the Windows DLL version) to Gilles Vollant (info@winimage.com).
