Chris@43: This directory contains examples of the use of zlib and other relevant
Chris@43: programs and documentation.
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: enough.c
Chris@43:     calculation and justification of ENOUGH parameter in inftrees.h
Chris@43:     - calculates the maximum table space used in inflate tree
Chris@43:       construction over all possible Huffman codes
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: fitblk.c
Chris@43:     compress just enough input to nearly fill a requested output size
Chris@43:     - zlib isn't designed to do this, but fitblk does it anyway
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: gun.c
Chris@43:     uncompress a gzip file
Chris@43:     - illustrates the use of inflateBack() for high speed file-to-file
Chris@43:       decompression using call-back functions
Chris@43:     - is approximately twice as fast as gzip -d
Chris@43:     - also provides Unix uncompress functionality, again twice as fast
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: gzappend.c
Chris@43:     append to a gzip file
Chris@43:     - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
Chris@43:     - illustrates the use of deflatePrime() to start at any bit
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: gzjoin.c
Chris@43:     join gzip files without recalculating the crc or recompressing
Chris@43:     - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
Chris@43:     - illustrates the use of crc32_combine()
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: gzlog.c
Chris@43: gzlog.h
Chris@43:     efficiently and robustly maintain a message log file in gzip format
Chris@43:     - illustrates use of raw deflate, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, deflatePrime(),
Chris@43:       and deflateSetDictionary()
Chris@43:     - illustrates use of a gzip header extra field
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: zlib_how.html
Chris@43:     painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
Chris@43:     - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: zpipe.c
Chris@43:     reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
Chris@43:     - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
Chris@43:     - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
Chris@43: 
Chris@43: zran.c
Chris@43:     index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
Chris@43:     - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
Chris@43:       inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
