+<a name="Introduction"><h2> Introduction </h2>
+     The 'zlib' compression library 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.
+  <p>
+
+     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.
+  <p>
+
+     The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format
+  with an interface similar to that of stdio.
+  <p>
+
+     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.
+  <p>

+<a name="Utility functions"><h2> Utility functions </h2>
+     The following utility functions are implemented on top of the
+   <a href="#Basic functions">basic stream-oriented functions</a>.
+   To simplify the interface, some
+   default options are assumed (compression level and memory usage,
+   standard memory allocation functions). The source code of these
+   utility functions can easily be modified if you need special options.

+<dd>
+     Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer.  sourceLen is
+   the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total
+   size of the destination buffer, which must be at least 0.1% larger than
+   sourceLen plus 12 bytes. Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the

+<dd>
+     Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. The level
+   parameter has the same meaning as in <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a>.  sourceLen is the byte
+   length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size of the
+   destination buffer, which must be at least 0.1% larger than sourceLen plus

+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int  <a name="uncompress">uncompress</a> (Bytef *dest,   uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen);</font>
+<dd>
+     Decompresses the source buffer into the destination buffer.  sourceLen is
+   the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total
+   size of the destination buffer, which must be large enough to hold the
+   entire uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data must have
+   been saved previously by the compressor and transmitted to the decompressor
+   by some mechanism outside the scope of this compression library.)
+   Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the compressed buffer. <p>
+     This function can be used to decompress a whole file at once if the

+   <p>
+
+     <a href="#uncompress">uncompress</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not

+<dd> <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt>  gzFile  <a name="gzopen">gzopen</a>  (const char *path, const char *mode);</font>
+<dd>
+     Opens a gzip (.gz) file for reading or writing. The mode parameter
+   is as in fopen ("rb" or "wb") but can also include a compression level
+   ("wb9") or a strategy: 'f' for filtered data as in "wb6f", 'h' for
+   Huffman only compression as in "wb1h". (See the description
+   of <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a> for more information about the strategy parameter.)
+   <p>
+
+     <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a> can be used to read a file which is not in gzip format ; in this
+   case <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> will directly read from the file without decompression.
+   <p>
+
+     <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a> returns NULL if the file could not be opened or if there was
+   insufficient memory to allocate the (de)compression <a href="#state">state</a> ; errno
+   can be checked to distinguish the two cases (if errno is zero, the
+   zlib error is <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a>).
+   <p>

+   descriptors are obtained from calls like open, dup, creat, pipe or
+   fileno (in the file has been previously opened with fopen).
+   The mode parameter is as in <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a>.
+   <p>
+     The next call of <a href="#gzclose">gzclose</a> on the returned gzFile will also close the
+   file descriptor fd, just like fclose(fdopen(fd), mode) closes the file
+   descriptor fd. If you want to keep fd open, use <a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a>(dup(fd), mode).
+   <p>
+     <a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a> returns NULL if there was insufficient memory to allocate

+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int  <a name="gzsetparams">gzsetparams</a> (gzFile file, int level, int strategy);</font>

+     Dynamically update the compression level or strategy. See the description
+   of <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a> for the meaning of these parameters.
+   <p>
+     <a href="#gzsetparams">gzsetparams</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, or <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the file was not

+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzread">gzread</a>  (gzFile file, voidp buf, unsigned len);</font>

+     Reads the given number of uncompressed bytes from the compressed file.
+   If the input file was not in gzip format, <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> copies the given number
+   of bytes into the buffer.
+   <p>
+     <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually read (0 for
+   end of file, -1 for error).
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzwrite">gzwrite</a> (gzFile file, const voidp buf, unsigned len);</font>
+<dd>
+     Writes the given number of uncompressed bytes into the compressed file.
+   <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually written
+   (0 in case of error).
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int VA   <a name="gzprintf">gzprintf</a> (gzFile file, const char *format, ...);</font>
+<dd>
+     Converts, formats, and writes the args to the compressed file under
+   control of the format string, as in fprintf. <a href="#gzprintf">gzprintf</a> returns the number of
+   uncompressed bytes actually written (0 in case of error).
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int  <a name="gzputs">gzputs</a> (gzFile file, const char *s);</font>
+<dd>
+      Writes the given null-terminated string to the compressed file, excluding
+   the terminating null character.
+   <p>
+      <a href="#gzputs">gzputs</a> returns the number of characters written, or -1 in case of error.
+      <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> char *  <a name="gzgets">gzgets</a> (gzFile file, char *buf, int len);</font>
+<dd>
+      Reads bytes from the compressed file until len-1 characters are read, or
+   a newline character is read and transferred to buf, or an end-of-file
+   condition is encountered.  The string is then terminated with a null
+   character.
+   <p>
+      <a href="#gzgets">gzgets</a> returns buf, or <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a> in case of error.
+      <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzputc">gzputc</a> (gzFile file, int c);</font>
+<dd>
+      Writes c, converted to an unsigned char, into the compressed file.
+   <a href="#gzputc">gzputc</a> returns the value that was written, or -1 in case of error.
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzgetc">gzgetc</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+      Reads one byte from the compressed file. <a href="#gzgetc">gzgetc</a> returns this byte

+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzflush">gzflush</a> (gzFile file, int flush);</font>
+<dd>
+     Flushes all pending output into the compressed file. The parameter
+   flush is as in the <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>() function. The return value is the zlib
+   error number (see function <a href="#gzerror">gzerror</a> below). <a href="#gzflush">gzflush</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if
+   the flush parameter is <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> and all output could be flushed.
+   <p>
+     <a href="#gzflush">gzflush</a> should be called only when strictly necessary because it can
+   degrade compression.
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> z_off_t     <a name="gzseek">gzseek</a> (gzFile file, z_off_t offset, int whence);</font>
+<dd>
+      Sets the starting position for the next <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> or <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> on the
+   given compressed file. The offset represents a number of bytes in the
+   uncompressed data stream. The whence parameter is defined as in lseek(2);
+   the value SEEK_END is not supported.
+   <p>
+     If the file is opened for reading, this function is emulated but can be
+   extremely slow. If the file is opened for writing, only forward seeks are
+   supported ; <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a> then compresses a sequence of zeroes up to the new
+   starting position.
+   <p>
+      <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a> returns the resulting offset location as measured in bytes from
+   the beginning of the uncompressed stream, or -1 in case of error, in
+   particular if the file is opened for writing and the new starting position
+   would be before the current position.
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzrewind">gzrewind</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+     Rewinds the given file. This function is supported only for reading.

+   <p>
+

+<dd>
+     Returns the starting position for the next <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> or <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> on the

+   uncompressed data stream.
+   <p>

+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int  <a name="gzeof">gzeof</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+     Returns 1 when EOF has previously been detected reading the given
+   input stream, otherwise zero.
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int     <a name="gzclose">gzclose</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+     Flushes all pending output if necessary, closes the compressed file
+   and deallocates all the (de)compression <a href="#state">state</a>. The return value is the zlib
+   error number (see function <a href="#gzerror">gzerror</a> below).
+   <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> const char *  <a name="gzerror">gzerror</a> (gzFile file, int *errnum);</font>
+<dd>
+     Returns the error message for the last error which occurred on the
+   given compressed file. errnum is set to zlib error number. If an
+   error occurred in the file system and not in the compression library,
+   errnum is set to <a href="#Z_ERRNO">Z_ERRNO</a> and the application may consult errno
+   to get the exact error code.

+
+    The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> performs one or both of the

+  <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>

+    processing will resume at this point for the next call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>().
+
+  <li>
+    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>
+    accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero.
+    Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter
+    should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications).
+    Some output may be provided even if flush is not set.
+  </ul> <p>
+
+  Before the call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(), the application should ensure that at least
+  one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
+  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>
+  should never be zero before the call. The application can consume the
+  compressed output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full
+  (<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>
+  and with zero <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>, it must be called again after making room in the
+  output buffer because there might be more output pending.
+  <p>
+
+    If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, all pending output is
+  flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so
+  that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In particular
+  <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> is zero after the call if enough output space has been provided
+  before the call.)  Flushing may degrade compression for some compression
+  algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary.
+  <p>
+
+    If flush is set to <a href="#Z_FULL_FLUSH">Z_FULL_FLUSH</a>, all output is flushed as with
+  <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, and the compression <a href="#state">state</a> is reset so that decompression can
+  restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if
+  random access is desired. Using <a href="#Z_FULL_FLUSH">Z_FULL_FLUSH</a> too often can seriously degrade
+  the compression.
+  <p>
+
+    If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0, this function must be called again
+  with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated
+  <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>), until the flush is complete (<a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with non-zero
+  <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>).
+  <p>
+
+    If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>, pending input is processed,
+  pending output is flushed and <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> if there
+  was enough output space ; if <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a>, this function must be
+  called again with <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> and more output space (updated <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>) but no
+  more input data, until it returns with <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or an error. After
+  <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> has returned <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a>, the only possible operations on the
+  stream are <a href="#deflateReset">deflateReset</a> or <a href="#deflateEnd">deflateEnd</a>.
+  <p>
+
+    <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> can be used immediately after <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> if all the compression
+  is to be done in a single step. In this case, <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> must be at least
+  0.1% larger than <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> plus 12 bytes.  If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> does not return
+  <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a>, then it must be called again as described above.

+
+    <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>() sets strm-&gt <a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of all input read

+    <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> decompresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
+  buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may some
+  introduce some output latency (reading input without producing any output)
+  except when forced to flush.
+  <p>
+
+  The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> performs one or both of the
+  following actions:
+
+  <ul>
+  <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>
+    accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
+    enough room in the output buffer), <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> is updated and processing
+    will resume at this point for the next call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>().
+
+  <li> 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> accordingly.  <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() provides as much output as possible,
+    until there is no more input data or no more space in the output buffer
+    (see below about the flush parameter).
+  </ul> <p>
+
+  Before the call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>(), the application should ensure that at least
+  one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
+  more output, and updating the next_* and avail_* values accordingly.
+  The application can consume the uncompressed output when it wants, for
+  example when the output buffer is full (<a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0), or after each
+  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
+  must be called again after making room in the output buffer because there
+  might be more output pending.
+  <p>
+
+    If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> flushes as much
+  output as possible to the output buffer. The flushing behavior of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> is
+  not specified for values of the flush parameter other than <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>
+  and <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>, but the current implementation actually flushes as much output
+  as possible anyway.
+  <p>
+
+    <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() should normally be called until it returns <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or an
+  error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step
+  (a single call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>), the parameter flush should be set to
+  <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>. In this case all pending input is processed and all pending
+  output is flushed ; <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> must be large enough to hold all the
+  uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data may have been saved
+  by the compressor for this purpose.) The next operation on this stream must
+  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>
+  is never required, but can be used to inform <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> that a faster routine
+  may be used for the single <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() call.
+  <p>
+
+     If a preset dictionary is needed at this point (see <a href="#inflateSetDictionary">inflateSetDictionary</a>
+  below), <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> sets strm-<a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of the
+  dictionary chosen by the compressor and returns <a href="#Z_NEED_DICT">Z_NEED_DICT</a> ; otherwise
+  it sets strm-&gt <a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of all output produced
+  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
+  an error code as described below. At the end of the stream, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>()
+  checks that its computed <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum is equal to that saved by the
+  compressor and returns <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> only if the checksum is correct.
+  <p>
+
+    <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if some progress has been made (more input processed
+  or more output produced), <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> if the end of the compressed data has
+  been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, <a href="#Z_NEED_DICT">Z_NEED_DICT</a> if a
+  preset dictionary is needed at this point, <a href="#Z_DATA_ERROR">Z_DATA_ERROR</a> if the input data was
+  corrupted (input stream not conforming to the zlib format or incorrect
+  <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum), <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the stream structure was inconsistent
+  (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

+   the caller.<p>
+
+     The method parameter is the compression method. It must be <a href="#Z_DEFLATED">Z_DEFLATED</a> in
+   this version of the library.<p>
+
+     The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the window size
+   (the size of the history buffer).  It should be in the range 8..15 for this
+   version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better
+   compression at the expense of memory usage. The default value is 15 if
+   <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> is used instead.<p>
+
+     The memLevel parameter specifies how much memory should be allocated
+   for the internal compression <a href="#state">state</a>. memLevel=1 uses minimum memory but
+   is slow and reduces compression ratio ; memLevel=9 uses maximum memory
+   for optimal speed. The default value is 8. See zconf.h for total memory
+   usage as a function of windowBits and memLevel.<p>
+
+     The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm. Use the
+   value <a href="#Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY">Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY</a> for normal data, <a href="#Z_FILTERED">Z_FILTERED</a> for data produced by a
+   filter (or predictor), or <a href="#Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY">Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY</a> to force Huffman encoding only (no
+   string match).  Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a
+   somewhat random distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is
+   tuned to <a href="#compress">compress</a> them better. The effect of <a href="#Z_FILTERED">Z_FILTERED</a> is to force more
+   Huffman coding and less string matching ; it is somewhat intermediate
+   between Z_DEFAULT and <a href="#Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY">Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY</a>. The strategy parameter only affects

+   call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same
+   dictionary (see <a href="#inflateSetDictionary">inflateSetDictionary</a>).<p>
+
+     The dictionary should consist of strings (byte sequences) that are likely
+   to be encountered later in the data to be compressed, with the most commonly
+   used strings preferably put towards the end of the dictionary. Using a
+   dictionary is most useful when the data to be compressed is short and can be
+   predicted with good accuracy ; the data can then be compressed better than
+   with the default empty dictionary.<p>
+
+     Depending on the size of the compression data structures selected by
+   <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> or <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a>, a part of the dictionary may in effect be
+   discarded, for example if the dictionary is larger than the window size in
+   <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> or deflate2. Thus the strings most likely to be useful should be
+   put at the end of the dictionary, not at the front.<p>
+
+     Upon return of this function, strm-&gt <a href="#adler">adler</a> is set to the Adler32 value
+   of the dictionary ; the decompressor may later use this value to determine

+
+     This function can be useful when several compression strategies will be

+   by calling <a href="#deflateEnd">deflateEnd</a>.  Note that <a href="#deflateCopy">deflateCopy</a> duplicates the internal

+     Update a running Adler-32 checksum with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and

+
+   The <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> value provided by the application will be passed as the first

+   pointers returned by <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> for objects of exactly 65536 bytes *must*
+   have their offset normalized to zero. The default allocation function
+   provided by this library ensures this (see zutil.c). To reduce memory

+   <p>
+
+   The fields <a href="#total_in">total_in</a> and <a href="#total_out">total_out</a> can be used for statistics or
