The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs (Request for
27
Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt
28
(zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format) and rfc1952.txt (gzip format).

44
The 'zlib' compression library provides in-memory compression and
45
decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed
46
data. This version of the library supports only one compression method
47
(deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same
50
Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large
51
enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by
52
repeated calls of the compression function. In the latter case, the
53
application must provide more input and/or consume the output
54
(providing more output space) before each call.
56
The compressed data format used by the in-memory functions is the zlib
57
format, which is a zlib wrapper documented in RFC 1950, wrapped around a
58
deflate stream, which is itself documented in RFC 1951.
60
The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format
61
with an interface similar to that of stdio using the functions that start
62
with "gz". The gzip format is different from the zlib format. gzip is a
63
gzip wrapper, documented in RFC 1952, wrapped around a deflate stream.
65
The zlib format was designed to be compact and fast for use in memory
66
and on communications channels. The gzip format was designed for single-
67
file compression on file systems, has a larger header than zlib to maintain
68
directory information, and uses a different, slower check method than zlib.
70
This library does not provide any functions to write gzip files in memory.
71
However such functions could be easily written using zlib's deflate function,
72
the documentation in the gzip RFC, and the examples in gzio.c.
74
The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks
75
the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never
76
crash even in case of corrupted input.

The application must update next_in and avail_in when avail_in has
109
dropped to zero. It must update next_out and avail_out when avail_out
110
has dropped to zero. The application must initialize zalloc, zfree and
111
opaque before calling the init function. All other fields are set by the
112
compression library and must not be updated by the application.
114
The opaque value provided by the application will be passed as the first
115
parameter for calls of zalloc and zfree. This can be useful for custom
116
memory management. The compression library attaches no meaning to the
119

120
If zlib is used in a multi-threaded application, zalloc and zfree must be

On 16-bit systems, the functions zalloc and zfree must be able to allocate
124
exactly 65536 bytes, but will not be required to allocate more than this
125
if the symbol MAXSEG_64K is defined (see zconf.h). WARNING: On MSDOS,
126
pointers returned by zalloc for objects of exactly 65536 bytes *must*
127
have their offset normalized to zero. The default allocation function
128
provided by this library ensures this (see zutil.c). To reduce memory
129
requirements and avoid any allocation of 64K objects, at the expense of
130
compression ratio, compile the library with -DMAX_WBITS=14 (see zconf.h).
132
The fields total_in and total_out can be used for statistics or
133
progress reports. After compression, total_in holds the total size of
134
the uncompressed data and may be saved for use in the decompressor

ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateInit OF((z_streamp strm, int level));
199
Initializes the internal stream state for compression. The fields
200
zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by the caller.
201
If zalloc and zfree are set to Z_NULL, deflateInit updates them to
202
use default allocation functions.
204
The compression level must be Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, or between 0 and 9:
205
1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression, 0 gives no compression at
206
all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time).
207
Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION requests a default compromise between speed and
208
compression (currently equivalent to level 6).
210
deflateInit returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
211
enough memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if level is not a valid compression level,
212
Z_VERSION_ERROR if the zlib library version (zlib_version) is incompatible
213
with the version assumed by the caller (ZLIB_VERSION).
214
msg is set to null if there is no error message. deflateInit does not
215
perform any compression: this will be done by deflate().
219
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflate OF((z_streamp strm, int flush));
221
deflate compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
222
buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce some
223
output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
226
The detailed semantics are as follows. deflate performs one or both of the
229
- Compress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
230
accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
231
enough room in the output buffer), next_in and avail_in are updated and
232
processing will resume at this point for the next call of deflate().
234
- Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
235
accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero.
236
Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter
237
should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications).
238
Some output may be provided even if flush is not set.
240
Before the call of deflate(), the application should ensure that at least
241
one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
242
more output, and updating avail_in or avail_out accordingly; avail_out
243
should never be zero before the call. The application can consume the
244
compressed output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full
245
(avail_out == 0), or after each call of deflate(). If deflate returns Z_OK
246
and with zero avail_out, it must be called again after making room in the
247
output buffer because there might be more output pending.
249
If the parameter flush is set to Z_SYNC_FLUSH, all pending output is
250
flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so
251
that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In particular
252
avail_in is zero after the call if enough output space has been provided
253
before the call.) Flushing may degrade compression for some compression
254
algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary.
256
If flush is set to Z_FULL_FLUSH, all output is flushed as with
257
Z_SYNC_FLUSH, and the compression state is reset so that decompression can
258
restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if
259
random access is desired. Using Z_FULL_FLUSH too often can seriously degrade
262
If deflate returns with avail_out == 0, this function must be called again
263
with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated
264
avail_out), until the flush is complete (deflate returns with non-zero
265
avail_out). In the case of a Z_FULL_FLUSH or Z_SYNC_FLUSH, make sure that
266
avail_out is greater than six to avoid repeated flush markers due to
267
avail_out == 0 on return.
269
If the parameter flush is set to Z_FINISH, pending input is processed,
270
pending output is flushed and deflate returns with Z_STREAM_END if there
271
was enough output space; if deflate returns with Z_OK, this function must be
272
called again with Z_FINISH and more output space (updated avail_out) but no
273
more input data, until it returns with Z_STREAM_END or an error. After
274
deflate has returned Z_STREAM_END, the only possible operations on the
275
stream are deflateReset or deflateEnd.
277
Z_FINISH can be used immediately after deflateInit if all the compression
278
is to be done in a single step. In this case, avail_out must be at least
279
the value returned by deflateBound (see below). If deflate does not return
280
Z_STREAM_END, then it must be called again as described above.
282
deflate() sets strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all input read
283
so far (that is, total_in bytes).
285
deflate() may update data_type if it can make a good guess about
286
the input data type (Z_ASCII or Z_BINARY). In doubt, the data is considered
287
binary. This field is only for information purposes and does not affect
288
the compression algorithm in any manner.
290
deflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input
291
processed or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if all input has been
292
consumed and all output has been produced (only when flush is set to
293
Z_FINISH), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream state was inconsistent (for example
294
if next_in or next_out was NULL), Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible
295
(for example avail_in or avail_out was zero). Note that Z_BUF_ERROR is not
296
fatal, and deflate() can be called again with more input and more output
297
space to continue compressing.
301
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateEnd OF((z_streamp strm));
303
All dynamically allocated data structures for this stream are freed.
304
This function discards any unprocessed input and does not flush any
307
deflateEnd returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the
308
stream state was inconsistent, Z_DATA_ERROR if the stream was freed
309
prematurely (some input or output was discarded). In the error case,
310
msg may be set but then points to a static string (which must not be
316
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateInit OF((z_streamp strm));
318
Initializes the internal stream state for decompression. The fields
319
next_in, avail_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by
320
the caller. If next_in is not Z_NULL and avail_in is large enough (the exact
321
value depends on the compression method), inflateInit determines the
322
compression method from the zlib header and allocates all data structures
323
accordingly; otherwise the allocation will be deferred to the first call of
324
inflate. If zalloc and zfree are set to Z_NULL, inflateInit updates them to
325
use default allocation functions.
327
inflateInit returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
328
memory, Z_VERSION_ERROR if the zlib library version is incompatible with the
329
version assumed by the caller. msg is set to null if there is no error
330
message. inflateInit does not perform any decompression apart from reading
331
the zlib header if present: this will be done by inflate(). (So next_in and
332
avail_in may be modified, but next_out and avail_out are unchanged.)
336
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflate OF((z_streamp strm, int flush));
338
inflate decompresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
339
buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce
340
some output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
343
The detailed semantics are as follows. inflate performs one or both of the
346
- Decompress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
347
accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
348
enough room in the output buffer), next_in is updated and processing
349
will resume at this point for the next call of inflate().
351
- Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
352
accordingly. inflate() provides as much output as possible, until there
353
is no more input data or no more space in the output buffer (see below
354
about the flush parameter).
356
Before the call of inflate(), the application should ensure that at least
357
one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
358
more output, and updating the next_* and avail_* values accordingly.
359
The application can consume the uncompressed output when it wants, for
360
example when the output buffer is full (avail_out == 0), or after each
361
call of inflate(). If inflate returns Z_OK and with zero avail_out, it
362
must be called again after making room in the output buffer because there
363
might be more output pending.
365
The flush parameter of inflate() can be Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH,
366
Z_FINISH, or Z_BLOCK. Z_SYNC_FLUSH requests that inflate() flush as much
367
output as possible to the output buffer. Z_BLOCK requests that inflate() stop
368
if and when it get to the next deflate block boundary. When decoding the zlib
369
or gzip format, this will cause inflate() to return immediately after the
370
header and before the first block. When doing a raw inflate, inflate() will
371
go ahead and process the first block, and will return when it gets to the end
372
of that block, or when it runs out of data.
374
The Z_BLOCK option assists in appending to or combining deflate streams.
375
Also to assist in this, on return inflate() will set strm->data_type to the
376
number of unused bits in the last byte taken from strm->next_in, plus 64
377
if inflate() is currently decoding the last block in the deflate stream,
378
plus 128 if inflate() returned immediately after decoding an end-of-block
379
code or decoding the complete header up to just before the first byte of the
380
deflate stream. The end-of-block will not be indicated until all of the
381
uncompressed data from that block has been written to strm->next_out. The
382
number of unused bits may in general be greater than seven, except when
383
bit 7 of data_type is set, in which case the number of unused bits will be
386
inflate() should normally be called until it returns Z_STREAM_END or an
387
error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step
388
(a single call of inflate), the parameter flush should be set to
389
Z_FINISH. In this case all pending input is processed and all pending
390
output is flushed; avail_out must be large enough to hold all the
391
uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data may have been saved
392
by the compressor for this purpose.) The next operation on this stream must
393
be inflateEnd to deallocate the decompression state. The use of Z_FINISH
394
is never required, but can be used to inform inflate that a faster approach
395
may be used for the single inflate() call.
397
In this implementation, inflate() always flushes as much output as
398
possible to the output buffer, and always uses the faster approach on the
399
first call. So the only effect of the flush parameter in this implementation
400
is on the return value of inflate(), as noted below, or when it returns early
401
because Z_BLOCK is used.
403
If a preset dictionary is needed after this call (see inflateSetDictionary
404
below), inflate sets strm-adler to the adler32 checksum of the dictionary
405
chosen by the compressor and returns Z_NEED_DICT; otherwise it sets
406
strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all output produced so far (that is,
407
total_out bytes) and returns Z_OK, Z_STREAM_END or an error code as described
408
below. At the end of the stream, inflate() checks that its computed adler32
409
checksum is equal to that saved by the compressor and returns Z_STREAM_END
410
only if the checksum is correct.
412
inflate() will decompress and check either zlib-wrapped or gzip-wrapped
413
deflate data. The header type is detected automatically. Any information
414
contained in the gzip header is not retained, so applications that need that
415
information should instead use raw inflate, see inflateInit2() below, or
416
inflateBack() and perform their own processing of the gzip header and
419
inflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input processed
420
or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if the end of the compressed data has
421
been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, Z_NEED_DICT if a
422
preset dictionary is needed at this point, Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was
423
corrupted (input stream not conforming to the zlib format or incorrect check
424
value), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream structure was inconsistent (for example
425
if next_in or next_out was NULL), Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough memory,
426
Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible or if there was not enough room in the
427
output buffer when Z_FINISH is used. Note that Z_BUF_ERROR is not fatal, and
428
inflate() can be called again with more input and more output space to
429
continue decompressing. If Z_DATA_ERROR is returned, the application may then
430
call inflateSync() to look for a good compression block if a partial recovery
431
of the data is desired.
435
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateEnd OF((z_streamp strm));
437
All dynamically allocated data structures for this stream are freed.
438
This function discards any unprocessed input and does not flush any
441
inflateEnd returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream state
442
was inconsistent. In the error case, msg may be set but then points to a
443
static string (which must not be deallocated).
446
/* Advanced functions */
449
The following functions are needed only in some special applications.
453
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateInit2 OF((z_streamp strm,
460
This is another version of deflateInit with more compression options. The
461
fields next_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by
464
The method parameter is the compression method. It must be Z_DEFLATED in
465
this version of the library.
467
The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the window size
468
(the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this
469
version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better
470
compression at the expense of memory usage. The default value is 15 if
471
deflateInit is used instead.
473
windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw deflate. In this case, -windowBits
474
determines the window size. deflate() will then generate raw deflate data
475
with no zlib header or trailer, and will not compute an adler32 check value.
477
windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip encoding. Add
478
16 to windowBits to write a simple gzip header and trailer around the
479
compressed data instead of a zlib wrapper. The gzip header will have no
480
file name, no extra data, no comment, no modification time (set to zero),
481
no header crc, and the operating system will be set to 255 (unknown).
483
The memLevel parameter specifies how much memory should be allocated
484
for the internal compression state. memLevel=1 uses minimum memory but
485
is slow and reduces compression ratio; memLevel=9 uses maximum memory
486
for optimal speed. The default value is 8. See zconf.h for total memory
487
usage as a function of windowBits and memLevel.
489
The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm. Use the
490
value Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY for normal data, Z_FILTERED for data produced by a
491
filter (or predictor), Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY to force Huffman encoding only (no
492
string match), or Z_RLE to limit match distances to one (run-length
493
encoding). Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a somewhat
494
random distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is tuned to
495
compress them better. The effect of Z_FILTERED is to force more Huffman
496
coding and less string matching; it is somewhat intermediate between
497
Z_DEFAULT and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY. Z_RLE is designed to be almost as fast as
498
Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY, but give better compression for PNG image data. The strategy
499
parameter only affects the compression ratio but not the correctness of the
500
compressed output even if it is not set appropriately.
502
deflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
503
memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a parameter is invalid (such as an invalid
504
method). msg is set to null if there is no error message. deflateInit2 does
505
not perform any compression: this will be done by deflate().
508
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateSetDictionary OF((z_streamp strm,
509
const Bytef *dictionary,
512
Initializes the compression dictionary from the given byte sequence
513
without producing any compressed output. This function must be called
514
immediately after deflateInit, deflateInit2 or deflateReset, before any
515
call of deflate. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same
516
dictionary (see inflateSetDictionary).
518
The dictionary should consist of strings (byte sequences) that are likely
519
to be encountered later in the data to be compressed, with the most commonly
520
used strings preferably put towards the end of the dictionary. Using a
521
dictionary is most useful when the data to be compressed is short and can be
522
predicted with good accuracy; the data can then be compressed better than
523
with the default empty dictionary.
525
Depending on the size of the compression data structures selected by
526
deflateInit or deflateInit2, a part of the dictionary may in effect be
527
discarded, for example if the dictionary is larger than the window size in
528
deflate or deflate2. Thus the strings most likely to be useful should be
529
put at the end of the dictionary, not at the front.
531
Upon return of this function, strm->adler is set to the adler32 value
532
of the dictionary; the decompressor may later use this value to determine
533
which dictionary has been used by the compressor. (The adler32 value
534
applies to the whole dictionary even if only a subset of the dictionary is
535
actually used by the compressor.) If a raw deflate was requested, then the
536
adler32 value is not computed and strm->adler is not set.
538
deflateSetDictionary returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if a
539
parameter is invalid (such as NULL dictionary) or the stream state is
540
inconsistent (for example if deflate has already been called for this stream
541
or if the compression method is bsort). deflateSetDictionary does not
542
perform any compression: this will be done by deflate().
545
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateCopy OF((z_streamp dest,
548
Sets the destination stream as a complete copy of the source stream.
550
This function can be useful when several compression strategies will be
551
tried, for example when there are several ways of pre-processing the input
552
data with a filter. The streams that will be discarded should then be freed
553
by calling deflateEnd. Note that deflateCopy duplicates the internal
554
compression state which can be quite large, so this strategy is slow and
555
can consume lots of memory.
557
deflateCopy returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
558
enough memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source stream state was inconsistent
559
(such as zalloc being NULL). msg is left unchanged in both source and
563
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateReset OF((z_streamp strm));
565
This function is equivalent to deflateEnd followed by deflateInit,
566
but does not free and reallocate all the internal compression state.
567
The stream will keep the same compression level and any other attributes
568
that may have been set by deflateInit2.
570
deflateReset returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
571
stream state was inconsistent (such as zalloc or state being NULL).
574
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateParams OF((z_streamp strm,
578
Dynamically update the compression level and compression strategy. The
579
interpretation of level and strategy is as in deflateInit2. This can be
580
used to switch between compression and straight copy of the input data, or
581
to switch to a different kind of input data requiring a different
582
strategy. If the compression level is changed, the input available so far
583
is compressed with the old level (and may be flushed); the new level will
584
take effect only at the next call of deflate().
586
Before the call of deflateParams, the stream state must be set as for
587
a call of deflate(), since the currently available input may have to
588
be compressed and flushed. In particular, strm->avail_out must be non-zero.
590
deflateParams returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
591
stream state was inconsistent or if a parameter was invalid, Z_BUF_ERROR
592
if strm->avail_out was zero.
595
ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT deflateBound OF((z_streamp strm,
598
deflateBound() returns an upper bound on the compressed size after
599
deflation of sourceLen bytes. It must be called after deflateInit()
600
or deflateInit2(). This would be used to allocate an output buffer
601
for deflation in a single pass, and so would be called before deflate().
604
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflatePrime OF((z_streamp strm,
608
deflatePrime() inserts bits in the deflate output stream. The intent
609
is that this function is used to start off the deflate output with the
610
bits leftover from a previous deflate stream when appending to it. As such,
611
this function can only be used for raw deflate, and must be used before the
612
first deflate() call after a deflateInit2() or deflateReset(). bits must be
613
less than or equal to 16, and that many of the least significant bits of
614
value will be inserted in the output.
616
deflatePrime returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
617
stream state was inconsistent.
621
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateInit2 OF((z_streamp strm,
624
This is another version of inflateInit with an extra parameter. The
625
fields next_in, avail_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized
626
before by the caller.
628
The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the maximum window
629
size (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for
630
this version of the library. The default value is 15 if inflateInit is used
631
instead. windowBits must be greater than or equal to the windowBits value
632
provided to deflateInit2() while compressing, or it must be equal to 15 if
633
deflateInit2() was not used. If a compressed stream with a larger window
634
size is given as input, inflate() will return with the error code
635
Z_DATA_ERROR instead of trying to allocate a larger window.
637
windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw inflate. In this case, -windowBits
638
determines the window size. inflate() will then process raw deflate data,
639
not looking for a zlib or gzip header, not generating a check value, and not
640
looking for any check values for comparison at the end of the stream. This
641
is for use with other formats that use the deflate compressed data format
642
such as zip. Those formats provide their own check values. If a custom
643
format is developed using the raw deflate format for compressed data, it is
644
recommended that a check value such as an adler32 or a crc32 be applied to
645
the uncompressed data as is done in the zlib, gzip, and zip formats. For
646
most applications, the zlib format should be used as is. Note that comments
647
above on the use in deflateInit2() applies to the magnitude of windowBits.
649
windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip decoding. Add
650
32 to windowBits to enable zlib and gzip decoding with automatic header
651
detection, or add 16 to decode only the gzip format (the zlib format will
652
return a Z_DATA_ERROR).
654
inflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
655
memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a parameter is invalid (such as a negative
656
memLevel). msg is set to null if there is no error message. inflateInit2
657
does not perform any decompression apart from reading the zlib header if
658
present: this will be done by inflate(). (So next_in and avail_in may be
659
modified, but next_out and avail_out are unchanged.)
662
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateSetDictionary OF((z_streamp strm,
663
const Bytef *dictionary,
666
Initializes the decompression dictionary from the given uncompressed byte
667
sequence. This function must be called immediately after a call of inflate
668
if this call returned Z_NEED_DICT. The dictionary chosen by the compressor
669
can be determined from the adler32 value returned by this call of
670
inflate. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same
671
dictionary (see deflateSetDictionary).
673
inflateSetDictionary returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a
674
parameter is invalid (such as NULL dictionary) or the stream state is
675
inconsistent, Z_DATA_ERROR if the given dictionary doesn't match the
676
expected one (incorrect adler32 value). inflateSetDictionary does not
677
perform any decompression: this will be done by subsequent calls of
681
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateSync OF((z_streamp strm));
683
Skips invalid compressed data until a full flush point (see above the
684
description of deflate with Z_FULL_FLUSH) can be found, or until all
685
available input is skipped. No output is provided.
687
inflateSync returns Z_OK if a full flush point has been found, Z_BUF_ERROR
688
if no more input was provided, Z_DATA_ERROR if no flush point has been found,
689
or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream structure was inconsistent. In the success
690
case, the application may save the current current value of total_in which
691
indicates where valid compressed data was found. In the error case, the
692
application may repeatedly call inflateSync, providing more input each time,
693
until success or end of the input data.
696
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateCopy OF((z_streamp dest,
699
Sets the destination stream as a complete copy of the source stream.
701
This function can be useful when randomly accessing a large stream. The
702
first pass through the stream can periodically record the inflate state,
703
allowing restarting inflate at those points when randomly accessing the
706
inflateCopy returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
707
enough memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source stream state was inconsistent
708
(such as zalloc being NULL). msg is left unchanged in both source and
712
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateReset OF((z_streamp strm));
714
This function is equivalent to inflateEnd followed by inflateInit,
715
but does not free and reallocate all the internal decompression state.
716
The stream will keep attributes that may have been set by inflateInit2.
718
inflateReset returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
719
stream state was inconsistent (such as zalloc or state being NULL).
723
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateBackInit OF((z_stream FAR *strm, int windowBits,
724
unsigned char FAR *window));
726
Initialize the internal stream state for decompression using inflateBack()
727
calls. The fields zalloc, zfree and opaque in strm must be initialized
728
before the call. If zalloc and zfree are Z_NULL, then the default library-
729
derived memory allocation routines are used. windowBits is the base two
730
logarithm of the window size, in the range 8..15. window is a caller
731
supplied buffer of that size. Except for special applications where it is
732
assured that deflate was used with small window sizes, windowBits must be 15
733
and a 32K byte window must be supplied to be able to decompress general
736
See inflateBack() for the usage of these routines.
738
inflateBackInit will return Z_OK on success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if any of
739
the paramaters are invalid, Z_MEM_ERROR if the internal state could not
740
be allocated, or Z_VERSION_ERROR if the version of the library does not
741
match the version of the header file.
744
typedef unsigned (*in_func) OF((void FAR *, unsigned char FAR * FAR *));
745
typedef int (*out_func) OF((void FAR *, unsigned char FAR *, unsigned));
747
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateBack OF((z_stream FAR *strm,
748
in_func in, void FAR *in_desc,
749
out_func out, void FAR *out_desc));
751
inflateBack() does a raw inflate with a single call using a call-back
752
interface for input and output. This is more efficient than inflate() for
753
file i/o applications in that it avoids copying between the output and the
754
sliding window by simply making the window itself the output buffer. This
755
function trusts the application to not change the output buffer passed by
756
the output function, at least until inflateBack() returns.
758
inflateBackInit() must be called first to allocate the internal state
759
and to initialize the state with the user-provided window buffer.
760
inflateBack() may then be used multiple times to inflate a complete, raw
761
deflate stream with each call. inflateBackEnd() is then called to free
764
A raw deflate stream is one with no zlib or gzip header or trailer.
765
This routine would normally be used in a utility that reads zip or gzip
766
files and writes out uncompressed files. The utility would decode the
767
header and process the trailer on its own, hence this routine expects
768
only the raw deflate stream to decompress. This is different from the
769
normal behavior of inflate(), which expects either a zlib or gzip header and
770
trailer around the deflate stream.
772
inflateBack() uses two subroutines supplied by the caller that are then
773
called by inflateBack() for input and output. inflateBack() calls those
774
routines until it reads a complete deflate stream and writes out all of the
775
uncompressed data, or until it encounters an error. The function's
776
parameters and return types are defined above in the in_func and out_func
777
typedefs. inflateBack() will call in(in_desc, &buf) which should return the
778
number of bytes of provided input, and a pointer to that input in buf. If
779
there is no input available, in() must return zero--buf is ignored in that
780
case--and inflateBack() will return a buffer error. inflateBack() will call
781
out(out_desc, buf, len) to write the uncompressed data buf[0..len-1]. out()
782
should return zero on success, or non-zero on failure. If out() returns
783
non-zero, inflateBack() will return with an error. Neither in() nor out()
784
are permitted to change the contents of the window provided to
785
inflateBackInit(), which is also the buffer that out() uses to write from.
786
The length written by out() will be at most the window size. Any non-zero
787
amount of input may be provided by in().
789
For convenience, inflateBack() can be provided input on the first call by
790
setting strm->next_in and strm->avail_in. If that input is exhausted, then
791
in() will be called. Therefore strm->next_in must be initialized before
792
calling inflateBack(). If strm->next_in is Z_NULL, then in() will be called
793
immediately for input. If strm->next_in is not Z_NULL, then strm->avail_in
794
must also be initialized, and then if strm->avail_in is not zero, input will
795
initially be taken from strm->next_in[0 .. strm->avail_in - 1].
797
The in_desc and out_desc parameters of inflateBack() is passed as the
798
first parameter of in() and out() respectively when they are called. These
799
descriptors can be optionally used to pass any information that the caller-
800
supplied in() and out() functions need to do their job.
802
On return, inflateBack() will set strm->next_in and strm->avail_in to
803
pass back any unused input that was provided by the last in() call. The
804
return values of inflateBack() can be Z_STREAM_END on success, Z_BUF_ERROR
805
if in() or out() returned an error, Z_DATA_ERROR if there was a format
806
error in the deflate stream (in which case strm->msg is set to indicate the
807
nature of the error), or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream was not properly
808
initialized. In the case of Z_BUF_ERROR, an input or output error can be
809
distinguished using strm->next_in which will be Z_NULL only if in() returned
810
an error. If strm->next is not Z_NULL, then the Z_BUF_ERROR was due to
811
out() returning non-zero. (in() will always be called before out(), so
812
strm->next_in is assured to be defined if out() returns non-zero.) Note
813
that inflateBack() cannot return Z_OK.
816
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateBackEnd OF((z_stream FAR *strm));
818
All memory allocated by inflateBackInit() is freed.
820
inflateBackEnd() returns Z_OK on success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream
821
state was inconsistent.

The following utility functions are implemented on top of the
870
basic stream-oriented functions. To simplify the interface, some
871
default options are assumed (compression level and memory usage,
872
standard memory allocation functions). The source code of these

ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT compress OF((Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen,
877
const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen));
879
Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
880
the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total
881
size of the destination buffer, which must be at least the value returned
882

This function can be used to compress a whole file at once if the

891
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT compress2 OF((Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen,
892
const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen,
895
Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. The level
896
parameter has the same meaning as in deflateInit. sourceLen is the byte
897
length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size of the
898
destination buffer, which must be at least the value returned by
899
compressBound(sourceLen). Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the
902
compress2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough

904
Z_STREAM_ERROR if the level parameter is invalid.
907
ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT compressBound OF((uLong sourceLen));
909
compressBound() returns an upper bound on the compressed size after
910
compress() or compress2() on sourceLen bytes. It would be used before
911
a compress() or compress2() call to allocate the destination buffer.
914
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT uncompress OF((Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen,
915
const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen));
917
Decompresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
918
the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total
919
size of the destination buffer, which must be large enough to hold the
920
entire uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data must have
921
been saved previously by the compressor and transmitted to the decompressor
922
by some mechanism outside the scope of this compression library.)

Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the compressed buffer.

typedef voidp gzFile;
935
ZEXTERN gzFile ZEXPORT gzopen OF((const char *path, const char *mode));
937
Opens a gzip (.gz) file for reading or writing. The mode parameter
938
is as in fopen ("rb" or "wb") but can also include a compression level
939
("wb9") or a strategy: 'f' for filtered data as in "wb6f", 'h' for
940
Huffman only compression as in "wb1h", or 'R' for run-length encoding
941
as in "wb1R". (See the description of deflateInit2 for more information
942
about the strategy parameter.)
944
gzopen can be used to read a file which is not in gzip format; in this
945
case gzread will directly read from the file without decompression.
947
gzopen returns NULL if the file could not be opened or if there was
948
insufficient memory to allocate the (de)compression state; errno
949
can be checked to distinguish the two cases (if errno is zero, the
950
zlib error is Z_MEM_ERROR). */
952
ZEXTERN gzFile ZEXPORT gzdopen OF((int fd, const char *mode));
954
gzdopen() associates a gzFile with the file descriptor fd. File
955
descriptors are obtained from calls like open, dup, creat, pipe or
956
fileno (in the file has been previously opened with fopen).
957
The mode parameter is as in gzopen.
958
The next call of gzclose on the returned gzFile will also close the
959
file descriptor fd, just like fclose(fdopen(fd), mode) closes the file
960
descriptor fd. If you want to keep fd open, use gzdopen(dup(fd), mode).
961
gzdopen returns NULL if there was insufficient memory to allocate
962
the (de)compression state.

ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzsetparams OF((gzFile file, int level, int strategy));
967
Dynamically update the compression level or strategy. See the description

ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzread OF((gzFile file, voidp buf, unsigned len));
975
Reads the given number of uncompressed bytes from the compressed file.
976
If the input file was not in gzip format, gzread copies the given number
977
of bytes into the buffer.
978
gzread returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually read (0 for
979
end of file, -1 for error). */
981
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzwrite OF((gzFile file,
982
voidpc buf, unsigned len));
984
Writes the given number of uncompressed bytes into the compressed file.
985
gzwrite returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually written
986
(0 in case of error).
989
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORTVA gzprintf OF((gzFile file, const char *format, ...));
991
Converts, formats, and writes the args to the compressed file under
992
control of the format string, as in fprintf. gzprintf returns the number of
993
uncompressed bytes actually written (0 in case of error). The number of
994
uncompressed bytes written is limited to 4095. The caller should assure that
995
this limit is not exceeded. If it is exceeded, then gzprintf() will return
996
return an error (0) with nothing written. In this case, there may also be a
997
buffer overflow with unpredictable consequences, which is possible only if
998
zlib was compiled with the insecure functions sprintf() or vsprintf()
999
because the secure snprintf() or vsnprintf() functions were not available.
1002
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzputs OF((gzFile file, const char *s));
1004
Writes the given null-terminated string to the compressed file, excluding
1005
the terminating null character.
1006
gzputs returns the number of characters written, or -1 in case of error.
1009
ZEXTERN char * ZEXPORT gzgets OF((gzFile file, char *buf, int len));
1011
Reads bytes from the compressed file until len-1 characters are read, or
1012
a newline character is read and transferred to buf, or an end-of-file
1013
condition is encountered. The string is then terminated with a null
1015
gzgets returns buf, or Z_NULL in case of error.
1018
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzputc OF((gzFile file, int c));
1020
Writes c, converted to an unsigned char, into the compressed file.
1021
gzputc returns the value that was written, or -1 in case of error.
1024
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzgetc OF((gzFile file));
1026
Reads one byte from the compressed file. gzgetc returns this byte
1027
or -1 in case of end of file or error.
1030
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzungetc OF((int c, gzFile file));
1032
Push one character back onto the stream to be read again later.
1033
Only one character of push-back is allowed. gzungetc() returns the
1034
character pushed, or -1 on failure. gzungetc() will fail if a
1035
character has been pushed but not read yet, or if c is -1. The pushed
1036
character will be discarded if the stream is repositioned with gzseek()
1040
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzflush OF((gzFile file, int flush));
1042
Flushes all pending output into the compressed file. The parameter
1043
flush is as in the deflate() function. The return value is the zlib
1044
error number (see function gzerror below). gzflush returns Z_OK if
1045
the flush parameter is Z_FINISH and all output could be flushed.
1046
gzflush should be called only when strictly necessary because it can
1047

1050
ZEXTERN z_off_t ZEXPORT gzseek OF((gzFile file,
1051
z_off_t offset, int whence));
1053
Sets the starting position for the next gzread or gzwrite on the
1054
given compressed file. The offset represents a number of bytes in the
1055
uncompressed data stream. The whence parameter is defined as in lseek(2);
1056
the value SEEK_END is not supported.
1057
If the file is opened for reading, this function is emulated but can be
1058
extremely slow. If the file is opened for writing, only forward seeks are
1059
supported; gzseek then compresses a sequence of zeroes up to the new
1062
gzseek returns the resulting offset location as measured in bytes from
1063
the beginning of the uncompressed stream, or -1 in case of error, in
1064
particular if the file is opened for writing and the new starting position
1065
would be before the current position.
1068
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzrewind OF((gzFile file));
1070
Rewinds the given file. This function is supported only for reading.
1072
gzrewind(file) is equivalent to (int)gzseek(file, 0L, SEEK_SET)
1075
ZEXTERN z_off_t ZEXPORT gztell OF((gzFile file));
1077
Returns the starting position for the next gzread or gzwrite on the
1078
given compressed file. This position represents a number of bytes in the
1079
uncompressed data stream.
1081
gztell(file) is equivalent to gzseek(file, 0L, SEEK_CUR)
1084
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzeof OF((gzFile file));
1086
Returns 1 when EOF has previously been detected reading the given
1087
input stream, otherwise zero.
1090
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT gzclose OF((gzFile file));
1092
Flushes all pending output if necessary, closes the compressed file
1093
and deallocates all the (de)compression state. The return value is the zlib
1094
error number (see function gzerror below).
1097
ZEXTERN const char * ZEXPORT gzerror OF((gzFile file, int *errnum));
1099
Returns the error message for the last error which occurred on the
1100
given compressed file. errnum is set to zlib error number. If an
1101
error occurred in the file system and not in the compression library,
1102
errnum is set to Z_ERRNO and the application may consult errno
1103
to get the exact error code.
1106
ZEXTERN void ZEXPORT gzclearerr OF((gzFile file));
1108
Clears the error and end-of-file flags for file. This is analogous to the
1109
clearerr() function in stdio. This is useful for continuing to read a gzip
1110
file that is being written concurrently.
1113
/* checksum functions */
1116
These functions are not related to compression but are exported
1117
anyway because they might be useful in applications using the
1118
compression library.
1121
ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT adler32 OF((uLong adler, const Bytef *buf, uInt len));
1124
Update a running Adler-32 checksum with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and
1125
return the updated checksum. If buf is NULL, this function returns
1126
the required initial value for the checksum.
1127
An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC32 but can be computed
1128
much faster. Usage example:
1130
uLong adler = adler32(0L, Z_NULL, 0);
1132
while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {
1133
adler = adler32(adler, buffer, length);
1135
if (adler != original_adler) error();
1138
ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT crc32 OF((uLong crc, const Bytef *buf, uInt len));
1140
Update a running crc with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and return the updated
1141
crc. If buf is NULL, this function returns the required initial value
1142
for the crc. Pre- and post-conditioning (one's complement) is performed
1143
within this function so it shouldn't be done by the application.
1146
uLong crc = crc32(0L, Z_NULL, 0);
1148
while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {
1149
crc = crc32(crc, buffer, length);
1151
if (crc != original_crc) error();
1155
