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]

This software is part of Librock

• Source code which is Open-source, Free (Libre) and free (no cost)
• Namespace limited. All compile-time macros and names visible at link time are prefixed by "librock_". Integrate into your project and expect no name collisions.
• Stable API means new functions get new names so that there is no risk that updating a source file will break existing applications.
• Highly portable, cross-platform, and multithread compatible. Works with many machines, compilers, and operating systems (gcc/MSVC/Windows/Linux/BSD).
