1  This directory contains examples of the use of zlib and other relevant
 2  programs and documentation.
 3  
 4  enough.c
 5      calculation and justification of ENOUGH parameter in inftrees.h
 6      - calculates the maximum table space used in inflate tree
 7        construction over all possible Huffman codes
 8  
 9  fitblk.c
10      compress just enough input to nearly fill a requested output size
11      - zlib isn't designed to do this, but fitblk does it anyway
12  
13  gun.c
14      uncompress a gzip file
15      - illustrates the use of inflateBack() for high speed file-to-file
16        decompression using call-back functions
17      - is approximately twice as fast as gzip -d
18      - also provides Unix uncompress functionality, again twice as fast
19  
20  gzappend.c
21      append to a gzip file
22      - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
23      - illustrates the use of deflatePrime() to start at any bit
24  
25  gzjoin.c
26      join gzip files without recalculating the crc or recompressing
27      - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
28      - illustrates the use of crc32_combine()
29  
30  gzlog.c
31  gzlog.h
32      efficiently and robustly maintain a message log file in gzip format
33      - illustrates use of raw deflate, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, deflatePrime(),
34        and deflateSetDictionary()
35      - illustrates use of a gzip header extra field
36  
37  zlib_how.html
38      painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
39      - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
40  
41  zpipe.c
42      reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
43      - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
44      - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
45  
46  zran.c
47      index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
48      - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
49        inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
