+<a name="Introduction"><h2> Introduction </h2>
+ The 'zlib' compression library provides in-memory compression and
+ decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed
+ data. This version of the library supports only one compression method
+ (deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same
+ stream interface.
+ <p>
+
+ Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large
+ enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by
+ repeated calls of the compression function. In the latter case, the
+ application must provide more input and/or consume the output
+ (providing more output space) before each call.
+ <p>
+
+ The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format
+ with an interface similar to that of stdio.
+ <p>
+
+ The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks
+ the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never
+ crash even in case of corrupted input.
+ <p>
+
+<hr>
+<a name="Utility functions"><h2> Utility functions </h2>
+ The following utility functions are implemented on top of the
+ <a href="#Basic functions">basic stream-oriented functions</a>.
+ To simplify the interface, some
+ default options are assumed (compression level and memory usage,
+ standard memory allocation functions). The source code of these
+ utility functions can easily be modified if you need special options.

+ Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. The level
+ parameter has the same meaning as in <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a>. sourceLen is the byte
+ length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size of the

+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="uncompress">uncompress</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen);</font>
+<dd>
+ Decompresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
+ the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total
+ size of the destination buffer, which must be large enough to hold the
+ entire uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data must have
+ been saved previously by the compressor and transmitted to the decompressor
+ by some mechanism outside the scope of this compression library.)
+ Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the compressed buffer. <p>
+ This function can be used to decompress a whole file at once if the

+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> gzFile <a name="gzopen">gzopen</a> (const char *path, const char *mode);</font>
+<dd>
+ Opens a gzip (.gz) file for reading or writing. The mode parameter
+ is as in fopen ("rb" or "wb") but can also include a compression level
+ ("wb9") or a strategy: 'f' for filtered data as in "wb6f", 'h' for
+ Huffman only compression as in "wb1h". (See the description
+ of <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a> for more information about the strategy parameter.)
+ <p>
+
+ <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a> can be used to read a file which is not in gzip format ; in this

+ <p>
+
+ <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a> returns NULL if the file could not be opened or if there was
+ insufficient memory to allocate the (de)compression <a href="#state">state</a> ; errno
+ can be checked to distinguish the two cases (if errno is zero, the

+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> gzFile <a name="gzdopen">gzdopen</a> (int fd, const char *mode);</font>

+ <a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a>() associates a gzFile with the file descriptor fd. File
+ descriptors are obtained from calls like open, dup, creat, pipe or
+ fileno (in the file has been previously opened with fopen).
+ The mode parameter is as in <a href="#gzopen">gzopen</a>.
+ <p>
+ The next call of <a href="#gzclose">gzclose</a> on the returned gzFile will also close the
+ file descriptor fd, just like fclose(fdopen(fd), mode) closes the file
+ descriptor fd. If you want to keep fd open, use <a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a>(dup(fd), mode).
+ <p>
+ <a href="#gzdopen">gzdopen</a> returns NULL if there was insufficient memory to allocate
+ the (de)compression <a href="#state">state</a>.
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzsetparams">gzsetparams</a> (gzFile file, int level, int strategy);</font>

+ <p>
+ <a href="#gzsetparams">gzsetparams</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, or <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the file was not
+ opened for writing.
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzread">gzread</a> (gzFile file, voidp buf, unsigned len);</font>
+<dd>
+ Reads the given number of uncompressed bytes from the compressed file.
+ If the input file was not in gzip format, <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> copies the given number
+ of bytes into the buffer.
+ <p>
+ <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually read (0 for
+ end of file, -1 for error).
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzwrite">gzwrite</a> (gzFile file, const voidp buf, unsigned len);</font>
+<dd>
+ Writes the given number of uncompressed bytes into the compressed file.
+ <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually written
+ (0 in case of error).
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int VA <a name="gzprintf">gzprintf</a> (gzFile file, const char *format, ...);</font>
+<dd>
+ Converts, formats, and writes the args to the compressed file under
+ control of the format string, as in fprintf. <a href="#gzprintf">gzprintf</a> returns the number of
+ uncompressed bytes actually written (0 in case of error).
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzputs">gzputs</a> (gzFile file, const char *s);</font>
+<dd>
+ Writes the given null-terminated string to the compressed file, excluding

+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> char * <a name="gzgets">gzgets</a> (gzFile file, char *buf, int len);</font>
+<dd>
+ Reads bytes from the compressed file until len-1 characters are read, or
+ a newline character is read and transferred to buf, or an end-of-file
+ condition is encountered. The string is then terminated with a null
+ character.
+ <p>
+ <a href="#gzgets">gzgets</a> returns buf, or <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a> in case of error.
+ <p>
+

+ or -1 in case of end of file or error.
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzflush">gzflush</a> (gzFile file, int flush);</font>
+<dd>
+ Flushes all pending output into the compressed file. The parameter
+ flush is as in the <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>() function. The return value is the zlib
+ error number (see function <a href="#gzerror">gzerror</a> below). <a href="#gzflush">gzflush</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if
+ the flush parameter is <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> and all output could be flushed.
+ <p>
+ <a href="#gzflush">gzflush</a> should be called only when strictly necessary because it can

+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> z_off_t <a name="gzseek">gzseek</a> (gzFile file, z_off_t offset, int whence);</font>
+<dd>
+ Sets the starting position for the next <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> or <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> on the
+ given compressed file. The offset represents a number of bytes in the
+ uncompressed data stream. The whence parameter is defined as in lseek(2);
+ the value SEEK_END is not supported.
+ <p>
+ If the file is opened for reading, this function is emulated but can be
+ extremely slow. If the file is opened for writing, only forward seeks are
+ supported ; <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a> then compresses a sequence of zeroes up to the new
+ starting position.
+ <p>
+ <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a> returns the resulting offset location as measured in bytes from
+ the beginning of the uncompressed stream, or -1 in case of error, in
+ particular if the file is opened for writing and the new starting position
+ would be before the current position.
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzrewind">gzrewind</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+ Rewinds the given file. This function is supported only for reading.

+ <a href="#gzrewind">gzrewind</a>(file) is equivalent to (int)<a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a>(file, 0L, SEEK_SET)
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> z_off_t <a name="gztell">gztell</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+ Returns the starting position for the next <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> or <a href="#gzwrite">gzwrite</a> on the
+ given compressed file. This position represents a number of bytes in the
+ uncompressed data stream.
+ <p>
+
+ <a href="#gztell">gztell</a>(file) is equivalent to <a href="#gzseek">gzseek</a>(file, 0L, SEEK_CUR)
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzeof">gzeof</a> (gzFile file);</font>

+ Returns 1 when EOF has previously been detected reading the given
+ input stream, otherwise zero.
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzclose">gzclose</a> (gzFile file);</font>
+<dd>
+ Flushes all pending output if necessary, closes the compressed file
+ and deallocates all the (de)compression <a href="#state">state</a>. The return value is the zlib
+ error number (see function <a href="#gzerror">gzerror</a> below).
+ <p>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> const char * <a name="gzerror">gzerror</a> (gzFile file, int *errnum);</font>
+<dd>
+ Returns the error message for the last error which occurred on the

+ error occurred in the file system and not in the compression library,
+ errnum is set to <a href="#Z_ERRNO">Z_ERRNO</a> and the application may consult errno
+ to get the exact error code.

+<dd>
+ <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
+ buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce some
+ output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
+ forced to flush.<p>
+
+ The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> performs one or both of the
+ following actions:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li> Compress more input starting at <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and update <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a>
+ accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
+ enough room in the output buffer), <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> are updated and
+ processing will resume at this point for the next call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>().
+
+ <li>
+ Provide more output starting at <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and update <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>
+ accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero.
+ Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter
+ should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications).
+ Some output may be provided even if flush is not set.
+ </ul> <p>
+
+ Before the call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(), the application should ensure that at least
+ one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
+ more output, and updating <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> or <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> accordingly ; <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>
+ should never be zero before the call. The application can consume the
+ compressed output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full
+ (<a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0), or after each call of <a href="#deflate">deflate</a>(). If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a>
+ and with zero <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>, it must be called again after making room in the
+ output buffer because there might be more output pending.
+ <p>
+
+ If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, all pending output is
+ flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so
+ that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In particular
+ <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> is zero after the call if enough output space has been provided
+ before the call.) Flushing may degrade compression for some compression
+ algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary.
+ <p>
+
+ If flush is set to <a href="#Z_FULL_FLUSH">Z_FULL_FLUSH</a>, all output is flushed as with
+ <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, and the compression <a href="#state">state</a> is reset so that decompression can
+ restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if
+ random access is desired. Using <a href="#Z_FULL_FLUSH">Z_FULL_FLUSH</a> too often can seriously degrade
+ the compression.
+ <p>
+
+ If <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0, this function must be called again
+ with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated
+ <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>), until the flush is complete (<a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with non-zero
+ <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>).
+ <p>
+
+ If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>, pending input is processed,

+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="inflate">inflate</a> (<a href="#z_streamp">z_streamp</a> strm, int flush);</font>
+<dd>
+ <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> decompresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
+ buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may some
+ introduce some output latency (reading input without producing any output)
+ except when forced to flush.
+ <p>
+
+ The detailed semantics are as follows. <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> performs one or both of the
+ following actions:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li> Decompress more input starting at <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and update <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a>
+ accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
+ enough room in the output buffer), <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> is updated and processing
+ will resume at this point for the next call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>().
+
+ <li> Provide more output starting at <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and update <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and
+ <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> accordingly. <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() provides as much output as possible,
+ until there is no more input data or no more space in the output buffer
+ (see below about the flush parameter).
+ </ul> <p>
+
+ Before the call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>(), the application should ensure that at least
+ one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
+ more output, and updating the next_* and avail_* values accordingly.
+ The application can consume the uncompressed output when it wants, for
+ example when the output buffer is full (<a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> == 0), or after each
+ call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>(). If <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> and with zero <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>, it
+ must be called again after making room in the output buffer because there
+ might be more output pending.
+ <p>
+
+ If the parameter flush is set to <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> flushes as much
+ output as possible to the output buffer. The flushing behavior of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> is
+ not specified for values of the flush parameter other than <a href="#Z_SYNC_FLUSH">Z_SYNC_FLUSH</a>
+ and <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>, but the current implementation actually flushes as much output
+ as possible anyway.
+ <p>
+
+ <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() should normally be called until it returns <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or an
+ error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step
+ (a single call of <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>), the parameter flush should be set to
+ <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>. In this case all pending input is processed and all pending
+ output is flushed ; <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> must be large enough to hold all the
+ uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data may have been saved
+ by the compressor for this purpose.) The next operation on this stream must
+ be <a href="#inflateEnd">inflateEnd</a> to deallocate the decompression <a href="#state">state</a>. The use of <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a>
+ is never required, but can be used to inform <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> that a faster routine
+ may be used for the single <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() call.
+ <p>
+
+ If a preset dictionary is needed at this point (see <a href="#inflateSetDictionary">inflateSetDictionary</a>
+ below), <a href="#inflate">inflate</a> sets strm-<a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of the
+ dictionary chosen by the compressor and returns <a href="#Z_NEED_DICT">Z_NEED_DICT</a> ; otherwise
+ it sets strm-&gt <a href="#adler">adler</a> to the <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum of all output produced
+ so far (that is, <a href="#total_out">total_out</a> bytes) and returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a>, <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or
+ an error code as described below. At the end of the stream, <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>()
+ checks that its computed <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum is equal to that saved by the
+ compressor and returns <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> only if the checksum is correct.
+ <p>
+
+ <a href="#inflate">inflate</a>() returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if some progress has been made (more input processed
+ or more output produced), <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> if the end of the compressed data has
+ been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, <a href="#Z_NEED_DICT">Z_NEED_DICT</a> if a
+ preset dictionary is needed at this point, <a href="#Z_DATA_ERROR">Z_DATA_ERROR</a> if the input data was
+ corrupted (input stream not conforming to the zlib format or incorrect
+ <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> checksum), <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the stream structure was inconsistent
+ (for example if <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> or <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> was NULL), <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not

+<dd> This is another version of <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> with more compression options. The
+ fields <a href="#next_in">next_in</a>, <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a>, <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> and <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> must be initialized before by
+ the caller.<p>
+
+ The method parameter is the compression method. It must be <a href="#Z_DEFLATED">Z_DEFLATED</a> in
+ this version of the library.<p>
+
+ The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the window size
+ (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this
+ version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better
+ compression at the expense of memory usage. The default value is 15 if
+ <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> is used instead.<p>
+
+ The memLevel parameter specifies how much memory should be allocated
+ for the internal compression <a href="#state">state</a>. memLevel=1 uses minimum memory but
+ is slow and reduces compression ratio ; memLevel=9 uses maximum memory
+ for optimal speed. The default value is 8. See zconf.h for total memory
+ usage as a function of windowBits and memLevel.<p>
+
+ The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm. Use the
+ value <a href="#Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY">Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY</a> for normal data, <a href="#Z_FILTERED">Z_FILTERED</a> for data produced by a
+ filter (or predictor), or <a href="#Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY">Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY</a> to force Huffman encoding only (no
+ string match). Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a
+ somewhat random distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is
+ tuned to <a href="#compress">compress</a> them better. The effect of <a href="#Z_FILTERED">Z_FILTERED</a> is to force more
+ Huffman coding and less string matching ; it is somewhat intermediate
+ between Z_DEFAULT and <a href="#Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY">Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY</a>. The strategy parameter only affects

+
+ The dictionary should consist of strings (byte sequences) that are likely
+ to be encountered later in the data to be compressed, with the most commonly
+ used strings preferably put towards the end of the dictionary. Using a
+ dictionary is most useful when the data to be compressed is short and can be
+ predicted with good accuracy ; the data can then be compressed better than
+ with the default empty dictionary.<p>
+
+ Depending on the size of the compression data structures selected by
+ <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> or <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a>, a part of the dictionary may in effect be
+ discarded, for example if the dictionary is larger than the window size in
+ <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> or deflate2. Thus the strings most likely to be useful should be
+ put at the end of the dictionary, not at the front.<p>
+

+ These functions are not related to compression but are exported
+ anyway because they might be useful in applications using the
+ compression library.
+<h3> Function list </h3>
+<ul>
+<li> uLong <a href="#adler32">adler32</a> (uLong <a href="#adler">adler</a>, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);
+<li> uLong <a href="#crc32">crc32</a> (uLong crc, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);
+</ul>
+<h3> Function description </h3>
+<dl>
+<font color="Blue"><dt> uLong <a name="adler32">adler32</a> (uLong <a href="#adler">adler</a>, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);</font>
+<dd>
+ Update a running Adler-32 checksum with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and
+ return the updated checksum. If buf is NULL, this function returns
+ the required initial value for the checksum.
+ <p>
+ An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC32 but can be computed
+ much faster. Usage example:
+ <pre>
+
+ uLong <a href="#adler">adler</a> = <a href="#adler32">adler32</a>(0L, <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a>, 0);
+
+ while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {
+ <a href="#adler">adler</a> = <a href="#adler32">adler32</a>(<a href="#adler">adler</a>, buffer, length);
+ }
+ if (<a href="#adler">adler</a> != original_adler) error();
+ </pre>
+
+<font color="Blue"><dt> uLong <a name="crc32">crc32</a> (uLong crc, const Bytef *buf, uInt len);</font>
+<dd>
+ Update a running crc with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and return the updated
+ crc. If buf is NULL, this function returns the required initial value
+ for the crc. Pre- and post-conditioning (one's complement) is performed
+ within this function so it shouldn't be done by the application.
+ Usage example:
+ <pre>
+
+ uLong crc = <a href="#crc32">crc32</a>(0L, <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a>, 0);
+
+ while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {
+ crc = <a href="#crc32">crc32</a>(crc, buffer, length);
+ }
+ if (crc != original_crc) error();

+ The application must update <a href="#next_in">next_in</a> and <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> when <a href="#avail_in">avail_in</a> has
+ dropped to zero. It must update <a href="#next_out">next_out</a> and <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a> when <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>
+ has dropped to zero. The application must initialize <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a>, <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> and
+ <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> before calling the init function. All other fields are set by the
+ compression library and must not be updated by the application. <p>
+
+ The <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> value provided by the application will be passed as the first
+ parameter for calls of <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a>. This can be useful for custom
+ memory management. The compression library attaches no meaning to the
+ <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> value. <p>
+
+ <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> must return <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a> if there is not enough memory for the object.
+ If zlib is used in a multi-threaded application, <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> must be
+ thread safe. <p>
+
+ On 16-bit systems, the functions <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> must be able to allocate
+ exactly 65536 bytes, but will not be required to allocate more than this
+ if the symbol MAXSEG_64K is defined (see zconf.h). WARNING: On MSDOS,
+ pointers returned by <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> for objects of exactly 65536 bytes *must*
+ have their offset normalized to zero. The default allocation function
+ provided by this library ensures this (see zutil.c). To reduce memory
+ requirements and avoid any allocation of 64K objects, at the expense of
+ compression ratio, compile the library with -DMAX_WBITS=14 (see zconf.h).
+ <p>
+
+ The fields <a href="#total_in">total_in</a> and <a href="#total_out">total_out</a> can be used for statistics or
+ progress reports. After compression, <a href="#total_in">total_in</a> holds the total size of
+ the uncompressed data and may be saved for use in the decompressor
+ (particularly if the decompressor wants to decompress everything in
+ a single step). <p>
