<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.
|
|

<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.

|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="compress">compress</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen);</font>
|
|
<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
|
|
compressed buffer.<p>
|
|
This function can be used to <a href="#compress">compress</a> a whole file at once if the
|
|
input file is mmap'ed.<p>
|
|
<a href="#compress">compress</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not
|
|
enough memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if there was not enough room in the output
|
|
buffer.<p>

<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="compress2">compress2</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen, int level);</font>
|
|
<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
|
|
12 bytes. Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the compressed buffer.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="#compress2">compress2</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not enough
|
|
memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if there was not enough room in the output buffer,

|
<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
|
|
input file is mmap'ed.
|
|
<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
|
|
enough memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if there was not enough room in the output
|

|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> gzFile <a name="gzdopen">gzdopen</a> (int fd, const char *mode);</font>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a>() associates a gzFile with the file descriptor fd. File
|
|
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
|
|
the (de)compression <a href="#state">state</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzsetparams">gzsetparams</a> (gzFile file, int level, int strategy);</font>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
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
|
|
opened for writing.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzread">gzread</a> (gzFile file, voidp buf, unsigned len);</font>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
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
|
|
or -1 in case of end of file or error.
|
|
<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>
|
|
<a href="#gzrewind">gzrewind</a>(file) is equivalent to (int)<a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a>(file, 0L, SEEK_SET)
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> z_off_t <a name="gztell">gztell</a> (gzFile file);</font>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Returns the starting position for the next <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> or <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> on the
|
|
given compressed file. This position represents a number of bytes in the
|
|
uncompressed data stream.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="#gztell">gztell</a>(file) is equivalent to <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a>(file, 0L, SEEK_CUR)
|
|
<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.

all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time).

<p>

<a href="#Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION">Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION</a> requests a default compromise between speed and

compression (currently equivalent to level 6).

<p>

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

<a href="#msg">msg</a> is set to null if there is no error message. <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> does not

|

<dd>
|
|
<a href="#deflate">deflate</a> compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
|
|
buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce some
|
|
output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
|
|
forced to flush.<p>
|
|
|
|
The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> performs one or both of the
|
|
following actions:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<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>
|
|
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> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> are updated and
|
|
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.

accordingly ; otherwise the allocation will be deferred to the first call of

<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-> <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

enough memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if no progress is possible or if there was not

<dd> This is another version of <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> with more compression options. The
|
|
fields <a href="#next_in">next_in</a>, <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a>, <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> and <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> must be initialized before by
|
|
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
|
|
the compression ratio but not the correctness of the compressed output even
|
|
if it is not set appropriately.<p>

|

|
<a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not enough

method). <a href="#msg">msg</a> is set to null if there is no error message. <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a> does

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-> <a href="#adler">adler</a> is set to the Adler32 value
|
|
of the dictionary ; the decompressor may later use this value to determine
|
|
which dictionary has been used by the compressor. (The Adler32 value
|
|
applies to the whole dictionary even if only a subset of the dictionary is
|
|
actually used by the compressor.)<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="#deflateSetDictionary">deflateSetDictionary</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, or <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if a
|
|
parameter is invalid (such as NULL dictionary) or the stream <a href="#state">state</a> is
|
|
inconsistent (for example if <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> has already been called for this stream
|
|
or if the compression method is bsort). <a href="#deflateSetDictionary">deflateSetDictionary</a> does not
|
|
perform any compression: this will be done by <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>().<p>

<dd>
|
|
Sets the destination stream as a complete copy of the source stream.<p>
|
|
|
|
This function can be useful when several compression strategies will be
|
|
tried, for example when there are several ways of pre-processing the input
|
|
data with a filter. The streams that will be discarded should then be freed
|
|
by calling <a href="#deflateEnd">deflateEnd</a>. Note that <a href="#deflateCopy">deflateCopy</a> duplicates the internal
|
|
compression <a href="#state">state</a> which can be quite large, so this strategy is slow and
|
|
can consume lots of memory.<p>

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

(such as <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> being NULL). <a href="#msg">msg</a> is left unchanged in both source and

|
|
but does not free and reallocate all the internal compression <a href="#state">state</a>.
|
|
The stream will keep the same compression level and any other attributes

that may have been set by <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a>.<p>

<a href="#deflateReset">deflateReset</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, or <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the source

|
|
<dd>
|
|
Dynamically update the compression level and compression strategy. The
|
|
interpretation of level and strategy is as in <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a>. This can be
|
|
used to switch between compression and straight copy of the input data, or
|
|
to switch to a different kind of input data requiring a different
|
|
strategy. If the compression level is changed, the input available so far
|
|
is compressed with the old level (and may be flushed); the new level will
|
|
take effect only at the next call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>().<p>
|
|
|
|
Before the call of <a href="#deflateParams">deflateParams</a>, the stream <a href="#state">state</a> must be set as for
|
|
a call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(), since the currently available input may have to
|
|
be compressed and flushed. In particular, strm-> <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> must be
|
|
non-zero.<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="#deflateParams">deflateParams</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the source
|
|
stream <a href="#state">state</a> was inconsistent or if a parameter was invalid, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a>
|

The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the maximum window

|
|
this version of the library. The default value is 15 if <a href="#inflateInit">inflateInit</a> is used
|
|
instead. If a compressed stream with a larger window size is given as
|
|
input, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() will return with the error code <a href="#Z_DATA_ERROR">Z_DATA_ERROR</a> instead of
|
|
trying to allocate a larger window.<p>
|

<a href="#inflateInit2">inflateInit2</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not enough

<h3> Function list </h3>

<li> uLong <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> (uLong <a href="#adler">adler</a>, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);

<h3> Function description </h3>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> uLong <a name="adler32">adler32</a> (uLong <a href="#adler">adler</a>, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);</font>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Update a running Adler-32 checksum with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and
|
|
return the updated checksum. If buf is NULL, this function returns
|
|
the required initial value for the checksum.
|
|
<p>
|
|
An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC32 but can be computed
|
|
much faster. Usage example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
uLong <a href="#adler">adler</a> = <a href="#adler32">adler32</a>(0L, <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a>, 0);
|
|
|
|
while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {
|
|
<a href="#adler">adler</a> = <a href="#adler32">adler32</a>(<a href="#adler">adler</a>, buffer, length);
|
|
}
|
|
if (<a href="#adler">adler</a> != original_adler) error();
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<font color="Blue"><dt> uLong <a name="crc32">crc32</a> (uLong crc, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);</font>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Update a running crc with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and return the updated
|
|
crc. If buf is NULL, this function returns the required initial value
|
|
for the crc. Pre- and post-conditioning (one's complement) is performed
|
|
within this function so it shouldn't be done by the application.
|
|
Usage example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
uLong crc = <a href="#crc32">crc32</a>(0L, <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a>, 0);
|
|
|
|
while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {
|
|
crc = <a href="#crc32">crc32</a>(crc, buffer, length);
|
|
}
|
|
if (crc != original_crc) error();

The application must update <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> when <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> has

|
|
has dropped to zero. The application must initialize <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a>, <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> and

<a href="#opaque">opaque</a> before calling the init function. All other fields are set by the

|
compression library and must not be updated by the application. <p>
|
|
|
|
The <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> value provided by the application will be passed as the first
|
|
parameter for calls of <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a>. This can be useful for custom
|
|
memory management. The compression library attaches no meaning to the
|
|
<a href="#opaque">opaque</a> value. <p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> must return <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a> if there is not enough memory for the object.
|
|
If zlib is used in a multi-threaded application, <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> must be
|
|
thread safe. <p>
|
|
|
|
On 16-bit systems, the functions <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> must be able to allocate
|
|
exactly 65536 bytes, but will not be required to allocate more than this
|
|
if the symbol MAXSEG_64K is defined (see zconf.h). WARNING: On MSDOS,
|
|
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
|
|
requirements and avoid any allocation of 64K objects, at the expense of
|
|
compression ratio, compile the library with -DMAX_WBITS=14 (see zconf.h).
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The fields <a href="#total_in">total_in</a> and <a href="#total_out">total_out</a> can be used for statistics or
|
|
progress reports. After compression, <a href="#total_in">total_in</a> holds the total size of
|
|
the uncompressed data and may be saved for use in the decompressor

(particularly if the decompressor wants to decompress everything in

a single step). <p>
