ZLIB_VERSION
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The I<Compress::Zlib> module provides a Perl interface to the I<zlib>
compression library (see L</AUTHOR> for details about where to get
I<zlib>). Most of the functionality provided by I<zlib> is available
in I<Compress::Zlib>.
The module can be split into two general areas of functionality, namely
in-memory compression/decompression and read/write access to I<gzip>
files. Each of these areas will be discussed separately below.
=head1 DEFLATE
The interface I<Compress::Zlib> provides to the in-memory I<deflate>
(and I<inflate>) functions has been modified to fit into a Perl model.
The main difference is that for both inflation and deflation, the Perl
interface will I<always> consume the complete input buffer before
returning. Also the output buffer returned will be automatically grown
to fit the amount of output available.
Here is a definition of the interface available:
=head2 B<($d, $status) = deflateInit( [OPT] )>
Initialises a deflation stream.
It combines the features of the I<zlib> functions B<deflateInit>,
B<deflateInit2> and B<deflateSetDictionary>.
If successful, it will return the initialised deflation stream, B<$d>
and B<$status> of C<Z_OK> in a list context. In scalar context it
returns the deflation stream, B<$d>, only.
If not successful, the returned deflation stream (B<$d>) will be
I<undef> and B<$status> will hold the exact I<zlib> error code.
The function optionally takes a number of named options specified as
C<-Name=E<gt>value> pairs. This allows individual options to be
tailored without having to specify them all in the parameter list.
For backward compatibility, it is also possible to pass the parameters
as a reference to a hash containing the name=>value pairs.
The function takes one optional parameter, a reference to a hash. The
contents of the hash allow the deflation interface to be tailored.
Here is a list of the valid options:
=over 5
=item B<-Level>
Defines the compression level. Valid values are 1 through 9,
C<Z_BEST_SPEED>, C<Z_BEST_COMPRESSION>, and C<Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION>.
The default is C<-Level =E<gt>Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION>.
=item B<-Method>
Defines the compression method. The only valid value at present (and
the default) is C<-Method =E<gt>Z_DEFLATED>.
=item B<-WindowBits>
For a definition of the meaning and valid values for B<WindowBits>
refer to the I<zlib> documentation for I<deflateInit2>.
Defaults to C<-WindowBits =E<gt>MAX_WBITS>.
=item B<-MemLevel>
For a definition of the meaning and valid values for B<MemLevel>
refer to the I<zlib> documentation for I<deflateInit2>.
Defaults to C<-MemLevel =E<gt>MAX_MEM_LEVEL>.
=item B<-Strategy>
Defines the strategy used to tune the compression. The valid values are
C<Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY>, C<Z_FILTERED> and C<Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY>.
The default is C<-Strategy =E<gt>Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY>.
=item B<-Dictionary>
When a dictionary is specified I<Compress::Zlib> will automatically
call B<deflateSetDictionary> directly after calling B<deflateInit>. The
Adler32 value for the dictionary can be obtained by calling the method
C<$d->dict_adler()>.
The default is no dictionary.
=item B<-Bufsize>
Sets the initial size for the deflation buffer. If the buffer has to be
reallocated to increase the size, it will grow in increments of
B<Bufsize>.
The default is 4096.
=back
Here is an example of using the B<deflateInit> optional parameter list
to override the default buffer size and compression level. All other
options will take their default values.
deflateInit( -Bufsize => 300,
-Level => Z_BEST_SPEED ) ;
=head2 B<($out, $status) = $d-E<gt>deflate($buffer)>
Deflates the contents of B<$buffer>. The buffer can either be a scalar
or a scalar reference. When finished, B<$buffer> will be
completely processed (assuming there were no errors). If the deflation
was successful it returns the deflated output, B<$out>, and a status
value, B<$status>, of C<Z_OK>.
On error, B<$out> will be I<undef> and B<$status> will contain the
I<zlib> error code.
In a scalar context B<deflate> will return B<$out> only.
As with the I<deflate> function in I<zlib>, it is not necessarily the
case that any output will be produced by this method. So don't rely on
the fact that B<$out> is empty for an error test.
=head2 B<($out, $status) = $d-E<gt>flush([flush_type])>
Finishes the deflation. Any pending output will be returned via B<$out>.
B<$status> will have a value C<Z_OK> if successful.
In a scalar context B<flush> will return B<$out> only.
Note that flushing can degrade the compression ratio, so it should only
be used to terminate a decompression.
By default the C<flush_type> used is C<Z_FINISH>. Other valid values
for C<flush_type> are Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH
and Z_FULL_FLUSH. It is strongly recommended that you only set the
C<flush_type> parameter if you fully understand what it does. See the
C<zlib> documentation for details.
=head2 B<$d-E<gt>dict_adler()>
Returns the adler32 value for the dictionary.
=head2 Example
Here is a trivial example of using B<deflate>. It simply reads standard
input, deflates it and writes it to standard output.
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Compress::Zlib ;
binmode STDIN;
binmode STDOUT;
my $x = deflateInit()
or die "Cannot create a deflation stream\n" ;
my ($output, $status) ;
while (<>)
{
($output, $status) = $x->deflate($_) ;
$status == Z_OK
or die "deflation failed\n" ;
print $output ;
}
($output, $status) = $x->flush() ;
$status == Z_OK
or die "deflation failed\n" ;
print $output ;
=head1 INFLATE
Here is a definition of the interface:
=head2 B<($i, $status) = inflateInit()>
Initialises an inflation stream.
In a list context it returns the inflation stream, B<$i>, and the
I<zlib> status code (B<$status>). In a scalar context it returns the
inflation stream only.
If successful, B<$i> will hold the inflation stream and B<$status> will
be C<Z_OK>.
If not successful, B<$i> will be I<undef> and B<$status> will hold the
I<zlib> error code.
The function optionally takes a number of named options specified as
C<-Name=E<gt>value> pairs. This allows individual options to be
tailored without having to specify them all in the parameter list.
For backward compatibility, it is also possible to pass the parameters
as a reference to a hash containing the name=>value pairs.
The function takes one optional parameter, a reference to a hash. The
contents of the hash allow the deflation interface to be tailored.
Here is a list of the valid options:
=over 5
=item B<-WindowBits>
For a definition of the meaning and valid values for B<WindowBits>
refer to the I<zlib> documentation for I<inflateInit2>.
Defaults to C<-WindowBits =E<gt>MAX_WBITS>.
=item B<-Bufsize>
Sets the initial size for the inflation buffer. If the buffer has to be
reallocated to increase the size, it will grow in increments of
B<Bufsize>.
Default is 4096.
=item B<-Dictionary>
The default is no dictionary.
=back
Here is an example of using the B<inflateInit> optional parameter to
override the default buffer size.
inflateInit( -Bufsize => 300 ) ;
=head2 B<($out, $status) = $i-E<gt>inflate($buffer)>
Inflates the complete contents of B<$buffer>. The buffer can either be
a scalar or a scalar reference.
Returns C<Z_OK> if successful and C<Z_STREAM_END> if the end of the
compressed data has been successfully reached.
If not successful, B<$out> will be I<undef> and B<$status> will hold
the I<zlib> error code.
The C<$buffer> parameter is modified by C<inflate>. On completion it
will contain what remains of the input buffer after inflation. This
means that C<$buffer> will be an empty string when the return status is
C<Z_OK>. When the return status is C<Z_STREAM_END> the C<$buffer>
parameter will contains what (if anything) was stored in the input
buffer after the deflated data stream.
This feature is useful when processing a file format that encapsulates
a compressed data stream (e.g. gzip, zip).
=head2 B<$i-E<gt>dict_adler()>
Returns the adler32 value for the dictionary.
=head2 Example
Here is an example of using B<inflate>.
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Compress::Zlib ;
my $x = inflateInit()
or die "Cannot create a inflation stream\n" ;
my $input = '' ;
binmode STDIN;
binmode STDOUT;
my ($output, $status) ;
while (read(STDIN, $input, 4096))
{
($output, $status) = $x->inflate(\$input) ;
print $output
if $status == Z_OK or $status == Z_STREAM_END ;
last if $status != Z_OK ;
}
die "inflation failed\n"
unless $status == Z_STREAM_END ;
=head1 COMPRESS/UNCOMPRESS
Two high-level functions are provided by I<zlib> to perform in-memory
compression. They are B<compress> and B<uncompress>. Two Perl subs are
provided which provide similar functionality.
=over 5
=item B<$dest = compress($source) ;>
Compresses B<$source>. If successful it returns the
compressed data. Otherwise it returns I<undef>.
The source buffer can either be a scalar or a scalar reference.
=item B<$dest = uncompress($source) ;>
Uncompresses B<$source>. If successful it returns the uncompressed
data. Otherwise it returns I<undef>.
The source buffer can either be a scalar or a scalar reference.
=back
=head1 GZIP INTERFACE
A number of functions are supplied in I<zlib> for reading and writing
I<gzip> files. This module provides an interface to most of them. In
general the interface provided by this module operates identically to
the functions provided by I<zlib>. Any differences are explained
below.
=over 5
=item B<$gz = gzopen(filename or filehandle, mode)>
This function operates identically to the I<zlib> equivalent except
that it returns an object which is used to access the other I<gzip>
methods.
As with the I<zlib> equivalent, the B<mode> parameter is used to
specify both whether the file is opened for reading or writing and to
optionally specify a a compression level. Refer to the I<zlib>
documentation for the exact format of the B<mode> parameter.
If a reference to an open filehandle is passed in place of the
filename, gzdopen will be called behind the scenes. The third example
at the end of this section, I<gzstream>, uses this feature.
=item B<$bytesread = $gz-E<gt>gzread($buffer [, $size]) ;>
Reads B<$size> bytes from the compressed file into B<$buffer>. If
B<$size> is not specified, it will default to 4096. If the scalar
B<$buffer> is not large enough, it will be extended automatically.
Returns the number of bytes actually read. On EOF it returns 0 and in
the case of an error, -1.
=item B<$bytesread = $gz-E<gt>gzreadline($line) ;>
Reads the next line from the compressed file into B<$line>.
Returns the number of bytes actually read. On EOF it returns 0 and in
the case of an error, -1.
It is legal to intermix calls to B<gzread> and B<gzreadline>.
At this time B<gzreadline> ignores the variable C<$/>
(C<$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR> or C<$RS> when C<English> is in use). The
end of a line is denoted by the C character C<'\n'>.
=item B<$byteswritten = $gz-E<gt>gzwrite($buffer) ;>
Writes the contents of B<$buffer> to the compressed file. Returns the
number of bytes actually written, or 0 on error.
=item B<$status = $gz-E<gt>gzflush($flush) ;>
Flushes all pending output into the compressed file.
Works identically to the I<zlib> function it interfaces to. Note that
the use of B<gzflush> can degrade compression.
Refer to the I<zlib> documentation for the valid values of B<$flush>.
=item B<$gz-E<gt>gzclose>
Closes the compressed file. Any pending data is flushed to the file
before it is closed.
=item B<$gz-E<gt>gzerror>
Returns the I<zlib> error message or number for the last operation
associated with B<$gz>. The return value will be the I<zlib> error
number when used in a numeric context and the I<zlib> error message
when used in a string context. The I<zlib> error number constants,
shown below, are available for use.
Z_OK
Z_STREAM_END
Z_ERRNO
Z_STREAM_ERROR
Z_DATA_ERROR
Z_MEM_ERROR
Z_BUF_ERROR
=item B<$gzerrno>
The B<$gzerrno> scalar holds the error code associated with the most
recent I<gzip> routine. Note that unlike B<gzerror()>, the error is
I<not> associated with a particular file.
As with B<gzerror()> it returns an error number in numeric context and
an error message in string context. Unlike B<gzerror()> though, the
error message will correspond to the I<zlib> message when the error is
associated with I<zlib> itself, or the UNIX error message when it is
not (i.e. I<zlib> returned C<Z_ERRORNO>).
As there is an overlap between the error numbers used by I<zlib> and
UNIX, B<$gzerrno> should only be used to check for the presence of
I<an> error in numeric context. Use B<gzerror()> to check for specific
I<zlib> errors. The I<gzcat> example below shows how the variable can
be used safely.
=back
=head2 Examples
Here is an example script which uses the interface. It implements a
I<gzcat> function.
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Compress::Zlib ;
die "Usage: gzcat file...\n"
unless @ARGV ;
my $file ;
foreach $file (@ARGV) {
my $buffer ;
my $gz = gzopen($file, "rb")
or die "Cannot open $file: $gzerrno\n" ;
print $buffer while $gz->gzread($buffer) > 0 ;
die "Error reading from $file: $gzerrno" . ($gzerrno+0) . "\n"
if $gzerrno != Z_STREAM_END ;
$gz->gzclose() ;
}
Below is a script which makes use of B<gzreadline>. It implements a
very simple I<grep> like script.
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Compress::Zlib ;
die "Usage: gzgrep pattern file...\n"
unless @ARGV >= 2;
my $pattern = shift ;
my $file ;
foreach $file (@ARGV) {
my $gz = gzopen($file, "rb")
or die "Cannot open $file: $gzerrno\n" ;
while ($gz->gzreadline($_) > 0) {
print if /$pattern/ ;
}
die "Error reading from $file: $gzerrno\n"
if $gzerrno != Z_STREAM_END ;
$gz->gzclose() ;
}
This script, I<gzstream>, does the opposite of the I<gzcat> script
above. It reads from standard input and writes a gzip file to standard
output.
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Compress::Zlib ;
binmode STDOUT; # gzopen only sets it on the fd
my $gz = gzopen(\*STDOUT, "wb")
or die "Cannot open stdout: $gzerrno\n" ;
while (<>) {
$gz->gzwrite($_)
or die "error writing: $gzerrno\n" ;
}
$gz->gzclose ;
=head2 Compress::Zlib::memGzip
This function is used to create an in-memory gzip file.
It creates a minimal gzip header.
$dest = Compress::Zlib::memGzip($buffer) ;
If successful, it returns the in-memory gzip file, otherwise it returns
undef.
The buffer parameter can either be a scalar or a scalar reference.
=head2 Compress::Zlib::memGunzip
This function is used to uncompress an in-memory gzip file.
$dest = Compress::Zlib::memGunzip($buffer) ;
If successful, it returns the uncompressed gzip file, otherwise it
returns undef.
The buffer parameter can either be a scalar or a scalar reference. The contents
of the buffer parameter are destroyed after calling this function.
=head1 CHECKSUM FUNCTIONS
Two functions are provided by I<zlib> to calculate a checksum. For the
Perl interface, the order of the two parameters in both functions has
been reversed. This allows both running checksums and one off
calculations to be done.
$crc = adler32($buffer [,$crc]) ;
$crc = crc32($buffer [,$crc]) ;
The buffer parameters can either be a scalar or a scalar reference.
If the $crc parameters is C<undef>, the crc value will be reset.
=head1 ACCESSING ZIP FILES
Although it is possible to use this module to access .zip files, there
is a module on CPAN that will do all the hard work for you. Check out

Assuming you don't want to use this module to access zip files there
are a number of undocumented features in the zlib library you need to
be aware of.

=item 1.
When calling B<inflateInit> or B<deflateInit> the B<WindowBits> parameter
must be set to C<-MAX_WBITS>. This disables the creation of the zlib
header.
=item 2.
The zlib function B<inflate>, and so the B<inflate> method supplied in
this module, assume that there is at least one trailing byte after the
compressed data stream. Normally this isn't a problem because both
the gzip and zip file formats will guarantee that there is data directly
after the compressed data stream.

of I<Compress::Zlib>.
=head1 AUTHOR
