      1 This directory contains examples of the use of zlib.
      2 
      3 fitblk.c
      4     compress just enough input to nearly fill a requested output size
      5     - zlib isn't designed to do this, but fitblk does it anyway
      6 
      7 gun.c
      8     uncompress a gzip file
      9     - illustrates the use of inflateBack() for high speed file-to-file
     10       decompression using call-back functions
     11     - is approximately twice as fast as gzip -d
     12     - also provides Unix uncompress functionality, again twice as fast
     13 
     14 gzappend.c
     15     append to a gzip file
     16     - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
     17     - illustrates the use of deflatePrime() to start at any bit
     18 
     19 gzjoin.c
     20     join gzip files without recalculating the crc or recompressing
     21     - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
     22     - illustrates the use of crc32_combine()
     23 
     24 gzlog.c
     25 gzlog.h
     26     efficiently maintain a message log file in gzip format
     27     - illustrates use of raw deflate and Z_SYNC_FLUSH
     28     - illustrates use of gzip header extra field
     29 
     30 zlib_how.html
     31     painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
     32     - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
     33 
     34 zpipe.c
     35     reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
     36     - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
     37     - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
     38 
     39 zran.c
     40     index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
     41     - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
     42       inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
