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