This version of the library supports only one compression method 79 (deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same 80 stream interface. 81 <p> 82 83 Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large 84 enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by 85 repeated calls of the compression function. In the latter case, the 86 application must provide more input and/or consume the output 87 (providing more output space) before each call. 88 <p> 89 90 The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format 91 with an interface similar to that of stdio. 92 <p> 93 94 The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks 95 the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never 96 crash even in case of corrupted input. 97 <p> 98 99 <hr> 100 <a name="Utility functions"><h2> Utility functions </h2> 101 The following utility functions are implemented on top of the 102 <a href="#Basic functions">basic stream-oriented functions</a>. 103 To simplify the interface, some 104 default options are assumed (compression level and memory usage, 105 standard memory allocation functions). The source code of these 106 utility functions can easily be modified if you need special options. 107 <h3> Function list </h3> 108 <ul> 109 <li> int <a href="#compress">compress</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen); 110 <li> int <a href="#compress2">compress2</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen, int level); 111 <li> int <a href="#uncompress">uncompress</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen); 112 <li> typedef voidp gzFile; 113 <li> gzFile <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a> (const char *path, const char *mode); 114 <li> gzFile <a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a> (int fd, const char *mode); 115 <li> int <a href="#gzsetparams">gzsetparams</a> (gzFile file, int level, int strategy); 116 <li> int <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> (gzFile file, voidp buf, unsigned len); 117 <li> int <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> (gzFile file, const voidp buf, unsigned len); 118 <li> int VA <a href="#gzprintf">gzprintf</a> (gzFile file, const char *format, ...); 119 <li> int <a href="#gzputs">gzputs</a> (gzFile file, const char *s); 120 <li> char * <a href="#gzgets">gzgets</a> (gzFile file, char *buf, int len); 121 <li> int <a href="#gzputc">gzputc</a> (gzFile file, int c); 122 <li> int <a href="#gzgetc">gzgetc</a> (gzFile file); 123 <li> int <a href="#gzflush">gzflush</a> (gzFile file, int flush); 124 <li> z_off_t <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a> (gzFile file, z_off_t offset, int whence); 125 <li> z_off_t <a href="#gztell">gztell</a> (gzFile file); 126 <li> int <a href="#gzrewind">gzrewind</a> (gzFile file); 127 <li> int <a href="#gzeof">gzeof</a> (gzFile file); 128 <li> int <a href="#gzclose">gzclose</a> (gzFile file); 129 <li> const char * <a href="#gzerror">gzerror</a> (gzFile file, int *errnum); 130 </ul> 131 <h3> Function description </h3> 132 <dl> 133 <font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="compress">compress</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen);</font> 134 <dd> 135 Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is 136 the byte length of the source buffer.

It may introduce some 397 output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when 398 forced to flush.<p> 399 400 The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> performs one or both of the 401 following actions: 402 403 <ul> 404 <li> Compress more input starting at <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and update <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> 405 accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not 406 enough room in the output buffer), <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> are updated and 407 processing will resume at this point for the next call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(). 408 409 <li> 410 Provide more output starting at <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and update <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> 411 accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero. 412 Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter 413 should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications). 414 Some output may be provided even if flush is not set. 415 </ul> <p> 416 417 Before the call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(), the application should ensure that at least 418 one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming 419 more output, and updating <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> or <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> accordingly ; <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> 420 should never be zero before the call. The application can consume the 421 compressed output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full 422 (<a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0), or after each call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(). If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> 423 and with zero <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>, it must be called again after making room in the 424 output buffer because there might be more output pending. 425 <p> 426 427 If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, all pending output is 428 flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so 429 that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In particular 430 <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> is zero after the call if enough output space has been provided 431 before the call.) Flushing may degrade compression for some compression 432 algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary. 433 <p> 434 435 If flush is set to <a href="#Z_FULL_FLUSH">Z_FULL_FLUSH</a>, all output is flushed as with 436 <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, and the compression <a href="#state">state</a> is reset so that decompression can 437 restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if 438 random access is desired. Using <a href="#Z_FULL_FLUSH">Z_FULL_FLUSH</a> too often can seriously degrade 439 the compression. 440 <p> 441 442 If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0, this function must be called again 443 with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated 444 <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>), until the flush is complete (<a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with non-zero 445 <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>). 446 <p> 447 448 If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>, pending input is processed, 449 pending output is flushed and <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> if there 450 was enough output space ; if <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a>, this function must be 451 called again with <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> and more output space (updated <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>) but no 452 more input data, until it returns with <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or an error. After 453 <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> has returned <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a>, the only possible operations on the 454 stream are <a href="#deflateReset">deflateReset</a> or <a href="#deflateEnd">deflateEnd</a>. 455 <p> 456 457 <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> can be used immediately after <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> if all the compression 458 is to be done in a single step. In this case, <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> must be at least 459 0.1% larger than <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> plus 12 bytes. If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> does not return 460 <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a>, then it must be called again as described above. 461 <p> 462 463 <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>() sets strm-> <a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of all input read 464 so far (that is, <a href="#total_in">total_in</a> bytes). 465 <p> 466 467 <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>() may update <a href="#data_type">data_type</a> if it can make a good guess about 468 the input data type (<a href="#Z_ASCII">Z_ASCII</a> or <a href="#Z_BINARY">Z_BINARY</a>).

(So <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and 512 <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> may be modified, but <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> are unchanged.) 513 <p> 514 515 <font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="inflate">inflate</a> (<a href="#z_streamp">z_streamp</a> strm, int flush);</font> 516 <dd> 517 <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> decompresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input 518 buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may some 519 introduce some output latency (reading input without producing any output) 520 except when forced to flush. 521 <p> 522 523 The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> performs one or both of the 524 following actions: 525 526 <ul> 527 <li> Decompress more input starting at <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and update <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> 528 accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not 529 enough room in the output buffer), <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> is updated and processing 530 will resume at this point for the next call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>(). 531 532 <li> Provide more output starting at <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and update <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and 533 <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> accordingly. <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() provides as much output as possible, 534 until there is no more input data or no more space in the output buffer 535 (see below about the flush parameter). 536 </ul> <p> 537 538 Before the call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>(), the application should ensure that at least 539 one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming 540 more output, and updating the next_* and avail_* values accordingly. 541 The application can consume the uncompressed output when it wants, for 542 example when the output buffer is full (<a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0), or after each 543 call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>(). If <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> and with zero <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>, it 544 must be called again after making room in the output buffer because there 545 might be more output pending. 546 <p> 547 548 If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> flushes as much 549 output as possible to the output buffer. The flushing behavior of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> is 550 not specified for values of the flush parameter other than <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a> 551 and <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>, but the current implementation actually flushes as much output 552 as possible anyway. 553 <p> 554 555 <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() should normally be called until it returns <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or an 556 error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step 557 (a single call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>), the parameter flush should be set to 558 <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>. In this case all pending input is processed and all pending 559 output is flushed ; <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> must be large enough to hold all the 560 uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data may have been saved 561 by the compressor for this purpose.) The next operation on this stream must 562 be <a href="#inflateEnd">inflateEnd</a> to deallocate the decompression <a href="#state">state</a>. The use of <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> 563 is never required, but can be used to inform <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> that a faster routine 564 may be used for the single <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() call. 565 <p> 566 567 If a preset dictionary is needed at this point (see <a href="#inflateSetDictionary">inflateSetDictionary</a> 568 below), <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> sets strm-<a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of the 569 dictionary chosen by the compressor and returns <a href="#Z_NEED_DICT">Z_NEED_DICT</a> ; otherwise 570 it sets strm-> <a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of all output produced 571 so far (that is, <a href="#total_out">total_out</a> bytes) and returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a>, <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or 572 an error code as described below. At the end of the stream, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() 573 checks that its computed <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum is equal to that saved by the 574 compressor and returns <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> only if the checksum is correct. 575 <p> 576 577 <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if some progress has been made (more input processed 578 or more output produced), <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> if the end of the compressed data has 579 been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, <a href="#Z_NEED_DICT">Z_NEED_DICT</a> if a 580 preset dictionary is needed at this point, <a href="#Z_DATA_ERROR">Z_DATA_ERROR</a> if the input data was 581 corrupted (input stream not conforming to the zlib format or incorrect 582 <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum), <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the stream structure was inconsistent 583 (for example if <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> or <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> was NULL), <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not 584 enough memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if no progress is possible or if there was not 585 enough room in the output buffer when <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> is used.
