NAME

SYNOPSIS

#include <librock/target/types.c>
#include <librock/zlibh.h>

DESCRIPTION

The zlib compression library provides in-memory compression and decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed data.

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. [details]

The opposite action, called inflation, is similar. [details]

The library also supports a stdio-like interface to gzip (.gz) files (reading, writing, seeking, rewinding, puts, gets, printf, et al.) [details]

The interface to checksum functions is also exposed. [details]
