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

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

229 ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateInit OF((z_streamp strm, int level));
231 Initializes the internal stream state for compression. The fields
232 zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by the caller. If
233 zalloc and zfree are set to Z_NULL, deflateInit updates them to use default
234 allocation functions.
236 The compression level must be Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, or between 0 and 9:
237 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression, 0 gives no compression at all
238 (the input data is simply copied a block at a time). Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
239 requests a default compromise between speed and compression (currently
240 equivalent to level 6).
242 deflateInit returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
243 memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if level is not a valid compression level, or
244 Z_VERSION_ERROR if the zlib library version (zlib_version) is incompatible
245 with the version assumed by the caller (ZLIB_VERSION). msg is set to null
246 if there is no error message. deflateInit does not perform any compression:
247 this will be done by deflate().
251 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflate
OF((z_streamp strm
, int flush
));
253 deflate compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
254 buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce
255 some output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
258 The detailed semantics are as follows. deflate performs one or both of the
261 - Compress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
262 accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
263 enough room in the output buffer), next_in and avail_in are updated and
264 processing will resume at this point for the next call of deflate().
266 - Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
267 accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero.
268 Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter
269 should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications). Some
270 output may be provided even if flush is not set.
272 Before the call of deflate(), the application should ensure that at least
273 one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming more
274 output, and updating avail_in or avail_out accordingly; avail_out should
275 never be zero before the call. The application can consume the compressed
276 output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full (avail_out
277 == 0), or after each call of deflate(). If deflate returns Z_OK and with
278 zero avail_out, it must be called again after making room in the output
279 buffer because there might be more output pending.
281 Normally the parameter flush is set to Z_NO_FLUSH, which allows deflate to
282 decide how much data to accumulate before producing output, in order to
283 maximize compression.
285 If the parameter flush is set to Z_SYNC_FLUSH, all pending output is
286 flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so
287 that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In
288 particular avail_in is zero after the call if enough output space has been
289 provided before the call.) Flushing may degrade compression for some
290 compression algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary. This
291 completes the current deflate block and follows it with an empty stored block
292 that is three bits plus filler bits to the next byte, followed by four bytes
295 If flush is set to Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, all pending output is flushed to the
296 output buffer, but the output is not aligned to a byte boundary. All of the
297 input data so far will be available to the decompressor, as for Z_SYNC_FLUSH.
298 This completes the current deflate block and follows it with an empty fixed
299 codes block that is 10 bits long. This assures that enough bytes are output
300 in order for the decompressor to finish the block before the empty fixed code
303 If flush is set to Z_BLOCK, a deflate block is completed and emitted, as
304 for Z_SYNC_FLUSH, but the output is not aligned on a byte boundary, and up to
305 seven bits of the current block are held to be written as the next byte after
306 the next deflate block is completed. In this case, the decompressor may not
307 be provided enough bits at this point in order to complete decompression of
308 the data provided so far to the compressor. It may need to wait for the next
309 block to be emitted. This is for advanced applications that need to control
310 the emission of deflate blocks.
312 If flush is set to Z_FULL_FLUSH, all output is flushed as with
313 Z_SYNC_FLUSH, and the compression state is reset so that decompression can
314 restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if
315 random access is desired. Using Z_FULL_FLUSH too often can seriously degrade
318 If deflate returns with avail_out == 0, this function must be called again
319 with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated
320 avail_out), until the flush is complete (deflate returns with non-zero
321 avail_out). In the case of a Z_FULL_FLUSH or Z_SYNC_FLUSH, make sure that
322 avail_out is greater than six to avoid repeated flush markers due to
323 avail_out == 0 on return.
325 If the parameter flush is set to Z_FINISH, pending input is processed,
326 pending output is flushed and deflate returns with Z_STREAM_END if there was
327 enough output space; if deflate returns with Z_OK, this function must be
328 called again with Z_FINISH and more output space (updated avail_out) but no
329 more input data, until it returns with Z_STREAM_END or an error. After
330 deflate has returned Z_STREAM_END, the only possible operations on the stream
331 are deflateReset or deflateEnd.
333 Z_FINISH can be used immediately after deflateInit if all the compression
334 is to be done in a single step. In this case, avail_out must be at least the
335 value returned by deflateBound (see below). If deflate does not return
336 Z_STREAM_END, then it must be called again as described above.
338 deflate() sets strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all input read
339 so far (that is, total_in bytes).
341 deflate() may update strm->data_type if it can make a good guess about
342 the input data type (Z_BINARY or Z_TEXT). In doubt, the data is considered
343 binary. This field is only for information purposes and does not affect the
344 compression algorithm in any manner.
346 deflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input
347 processed or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if all input has been
348 consumed and all output has been produced (only when flush is set to
349 Z_FINISH), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream state was inconsistent (for example
350 if next_in or next_out was Z_NULL), Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible
351 (for example avail_in or avail_out was zero). Note that Z_BUF_ERROR is not
352 fatal, and deflate() can be called again with more input and more output
353 space to continue compressing.
357 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateEnd
OF((z_streamp strm
));
359 All dynamically allocated data structures for this stream are freed.
360 This function discards any unprocessed input and does not flush any pending
363 deflateEnd returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the
364 stream state was inconsistent, Z_DATA_ERROR if the stream was freed
365 prematurely (some input or output was discarded). In the error case, msg
366 may be set but then points to a static string (which must not be
372 ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateInit OF((z_streamp strm));
374 Initializes the internal stream state for decompression. The fields
375 next_in, avail_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by
376 the caller. If next_in is not Z_NULL and avail_in is large enough (the
377 exact value depends on the compression method), inflateInit determines the
378 compression method from the zlib header and allocates all data structures
379 accordingly; otherwise the allocation will be deferred to the first call of
380 inflate. If zalloc and zfree are set to Z_NULL, inflateInit updates them to
381 use default allocation functions.
383 inflateInit returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
384 memory, Z_VERSION_ERROR if the zlib library version is incompatible with the
385 version assumed by the caller, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the parameters are
386 invalid, such as a null pointer to the structure. msg is set to null if
387 there is no error message. inflateInit does not perform any decompression
388 apart from possibly reading the zlib header if present: actual decompression
389 will be done by inflate(). (So next_in and avail_in may be modified, but
390 next_out and avail_out are unused and unchanged.) The current implementation
391 of inflateInit() does not process any header information -- that is deferred
392 until inflate() is called.
396 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT inflate
OF((z_streamp strm
, int flush
));
398 inflate decompresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
399 buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce
400 some output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
403 The detailed semantics are as follows. inflate performs one or both of the
406 - Decompress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
407 accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
408 enough room in the output buffer), next_in is updated and processing will
409 resume at this point for the next call of inflate().
411 - Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
412 accordingly. inflate() provides as much output as possible, until there is
413 no more input data or no more space in the output buffer (see below about
414 the flush parameter).
416 Before the call of inflate(), the application should ensure that at least
417 one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming more
418 output, and updating the next_* and avail_* values accordingly. The
419 application can consume the uncompressed output when it wants, for example
420 when the output buffer is full (avail_out == 0), or after each call of
421 inflate(). If inflate returns Z_OK and with zero avail_out, it must be
422 called again after making room in the output buffer because there might be
425 The flush parameter of inflate() can be Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH, Z_FINISH,
426 Z_BLOCK, or Z_TREES. Z_SYNC_FLUSH requests that inflate() flush as much
427 output as possible to the output buffer. Z_BLOCK requests that inflate()
428 stop if and when it gets to the next deflate block boundary. When decoding
429 the zlib or gzip format, this will cause inflate() to return immediately
430 after the header and before the first block. When doing a raw inflate,
431 inflate() will go ahead and process the first block, and will return when it
432 gets to the end of that block, or when it runs out of data.
434 The Z_BLOCK option assists in appending to or combining deflate streams.
435 Also to assist in this, on return inflate() will set strm->data_type to the
436 number of unused bits in the last byte taken from strm->next_in, plus 64 if
437 inflate() is currently decoding the last block in the deflate stream, plus
438 128 if inflate() returned immediately after decoding an end-of-block code or
439 decoding the complete header up to just before the first byte of the deflate
440 stream. The end-of-block will not be indicated until all of the uncompressed
441 data from that block has been written to strm->next_out. The number of
442 unused bits may in general be greater than seven, except when bit 7 of
443 data_type is set, in which case the number of unused bits will be less than
444 eight. data_type is set as noted here every time inflate() returns for all
445 flush options, and so can be used to determine the amount of currently
446 consumed input in bits.
448 The Z_TREES option behaves as Z_BLOCK does, but it also returns when the
449 end of each deflate block header is reached, before any actual data in that
450 block is decoded. This allows the caller to determine the length of the
451 deflate block header for later use in random access within a deflate block.
452 256 is added to the value of strm->data_type when inflate() returns
453 immediately after reaching the end of the deflate block header.
455 inflate() should normally be called until it returns Z_STREAM_END or an
456 error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step (a
457 single call of inflate), the parameter flush should be set to Z_FINISH. In
458 this case all pending input is processed and all pending output is flushed;
459 avail_out must be large enough to hold all the uncompressed data. (The size
460 of the uncompressed data may have been saved by the compressor for this
461 purpose.) The next operation on this stream must be inflateEnd to deallocate
462 the decompression state. The use of Z_FINISH is never required, but can be
463 used to inform inflate that a faster approach may be used for the single
466 In this implementation, inflate() always flushes as much output as
467 possible to the output buffer, and always uses the faster approach on the
468 first call. So the only effect of the flush parameter in this implementation
469 is on the return value of inflate(), as noted below, or when it returns early
470 because Z_BLOCK or Z_TREES is used.
472 If a preset dictionary is needed after this call (see inflateSetDictionary
473 below), inflate sets strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of the dictionary
474 chosen by the compressor and returns Z_NEED_DICT; otherwise it sets
475 strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all output produced so far (that is,
476 total_out bytes) and returns Z_OK, Z_STREAM_END or an error code as described
477 below. At the end of the stream, inflate() checks that its computed adler32
478 checksum is equal to that saved by the compressor and returns Z_STREAM_END
479 only if the checksum is correct.
481 inflate() can decompress and check either zlib-wrapped or gzip-wrapped
482 deflate data. The header type is detected automatically, if requested when
483 initializing with inflateInit2(). Any information contained in the gzip
484 header is not retained, so applications that need that information should
485 instead use raw inflate, see inflateInit2() below, or inflateBack() and
486 perform their own processing of the gzip header and trailer.
488 inflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input processed
489 or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if the end of the compressed data has
490 been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, Z_NEED_DICT if a
491 preset dictionary is needed at this point, Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was
492 corrupted (input stream not conforming to the zlib format or incorrect check
493 value), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream structure was inconsistent (for example
494 next_in or next_out was Z_NULL), Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough memory,
495 Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible or if there was not enough room in the
496 output buffer when Z_FINISH is used. Note that Z_BUF_ERROR is not fatal, and
497 inflate() can be called again with more input and more output space to
498 continue decompressing. If Z_DATA_ERROR is returned, the application may
499 then call inflateSync() to look for a good compression block if a partial
500 recovery of the data is desired.
504 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT inflateEnd
OF((z_streamp strm
));
506 All dynamically allocated data structures for this stream are freed.
507 This function discards any unprocessed input and does not flush any pending
510 inflateEnd returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream state
511 was inconsistent. In the error case, msg may be set but then points to a
512 static string (which must not be deallocated).
516 /* Advanced functions */
519 The following functions are needed only in some special applications.
523 ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateInit2 OF((z_streamp strm,
530 This is another version of deflateInit with more compression options. The
531 fields next_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by the
534 The method parameter is the compression method. It must be Z_DEFLATED in
535 this version of the library.
537 The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the window size
538 (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this
539 version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better
540 compression at the expense of memory usage. The default value is 15 if
541 deflateInit is used instead.
543 windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw deflate. In this case, -windowBits
544 determines the window size. deflate() will then generate raw deflate data
545 with no zlib header or trailer, and will not compute an adler32 check value.
547 windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip encoding. Add
548 16 to windowBits to write a simple gzip header and trailer around the
549 compressed data instead of a zlib wrapper. The gzip header will have no
550 file name, no extra data, no comment, no modification time (set to zero), no
551 header crc, and the operating system will be set to 255 (unknown). If a
552 gzip stream is being written, strm->adler is a crc32 instead of an adler32.
554 The memLevel parameter specifies how much memory should be allocated
555 for the internal compression state. memLevel=1 uses minimum memory but is
556 slow and reduces compression ratio; memLevel=9 uses maximum memory for
557 optimal speed. The default value is 8. See zconf.h for total memory usage
558 as a function of windowBits and memLevel.
560 The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm. Use the
561 value Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY for normal data, Z_FILTERED for data produced by a
562 filter (or predictor), Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY to force Huffman encoding only (no
563 string match), or Z_RLE to limit match distances to one (run-length
564 encoding). Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a somewhat
565 random distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is tuned to
566 compress them better. The effect of Z_FILTERED is to force more Huffman
567 coding and less string matching; it is somewhat intermediate between
568 Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY. Z_RLE is designed to be almost as
569 fast as Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY, but give better compression for PNG image data. The
570 strategy parameter only affects the compression ratio but not the
571 correctness of the compressed output even if it is not set appropriately.
572 Z_FIXED prevents the use of dynamic Huffman codes, allowing for a simpler
573 decoder for special applications.
575 deflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
576 memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if any parameter is invalid (such as an invalid
577 method), or Z_VERSION_ERROR if the zlib library version (zlib_version) is
578 incompatible with the version assumed by the caller (ZLIB_VERSION). msg is
579 set to null if there is no error message. deflateInit2 does not perform any
580 compression: this will be done by deflate().
583 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateSetDictionary
OF((z_streamp strm
,
584 const Bytef
*dictionary
,
587 Initializes the compression dictionary from the given byte sequence
588 without producing any compressed output. This function must be called
589 immediately after deflateInit, deflateInit2 or deflateReset, before any call
590 of deflate. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same
591 dictionary (see inflateSetDictionary).
593 The dictionary should consist of strings (byte sequences) that are likely
594 to be encountered later in the data to be compressed, with the most commonly
595 used strings preferably put towards the end of the dictionary. Using a
596 dictionary is most useful when the data to be compressed is short and can be
597 predicted with good accuracy; the data can then be compressed better than
598 with the default empty dictionary.
600 Depending on the size of the compression data structures selected by
601 deflateInit or deflateInit2, a part of the dictionary may in effect be
602 discarded, for example if the dictionary is larger than the window size
603 provided in deflateInit or deflateInit2. Thus the strings most likely to be
604 useful should be put at the end of the dictionary, not at the front. In
605 addition, the current implementation of deflate will use at most the window
606 size minus 262 bytes of the provided dictionary.
608 Upon return of this function, strm->adler is set to the adler32 value
609 of the dictionary; the decompressor may later use this value to determine
610 which dictionary has been used by the compressor. (The adler32 value
611 applies to the whole dictionary even if only a subset of the dictionary is
612 actually used by the compressor.) If a raw deflate was requested, then the
613 adler32 value is not computed and strm->adler is not set.
615 deflateSetDictionary returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if a
616 parameter is invalid (e.g. dictionary being Z_NULL) or the stream state is
617 inconsistent (for example if deflate has already been called for this stream
618 or if the compression method is bsort). deflateSetDictionary does not
619 perform any compression: this will be done by deflate().
622 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateCopy
OF((z_streamp dest
,
625 Sets the destination stream as a complete copy of the source stream.
627 This function can be useful when several compression strategies will be
628 tried, for example when there are several ways of pre-processing the input
629 data with a filter. The streams that will be discarded should then be freed
630 by calling deflateEnd. Note that deflateCopy duplicates the internal
631 compression state which can be quite large, so this strategy is slow and can
632 consume lots of memory.
634 deflateCopy returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
635 enough memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source stream state was inconsistent
636 (such as zalloc being Z_NULL). msg is left unchanged in both source and
640 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateReset
OF((z_streamp strm

642 This function is equivalent to deflateEnd followed by deflateInit,
643 but does not free and reallocate all the internal compression state. The
644 stream will keep the same compression level and any other attributes that
645 may have been set by deflateInit2.
647 deflateReset returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
648 stream state was inconsistent (such as zalloc or state being Z_NULL).
651 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateParams
OF((z_streamp strm

655 Dynamically update the compression level and compression strategy. The
656 interpretation of level and strategy is as in deflateInit2. This can be
657 used to switch between compression and straight copy of the input data, or
658 to switch to a different kind of input data requiring a different strategy.
659 If the compression level is changed, the input available so far is
660 compressed with the old level (and may be flushed); the new level will take
661 effect only at the next call of deflate().
663 Before the call of deflateParams, the stream state must be set as for
664 a call of deflate(), since the currently available input may have to be
665 compressed and flushed. In particular, strm->avail_out must be non-zero.
667 deflateParams returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
668 stream state was inconsistent or if a parameter was invalid, Z_BUF_ERROR if
669 strm->avail_out was zero.
672 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateTune

678 Fine tune deflate's internal compression parameters. This should only be
679 used by someone who understands the algorithm used by zlib's deflate for
680 searching for the best matching string, and even then only by the most
681 fanatic optimizer trying to squeeze out the last compressed bit for their
682 specific input data. Read the deflate.c source code for the meaning of the
683 max_lazy, good_length, nice_length, and max_chain parameters.
685 deflateTune() can be called after deflateInit() or deflateInit2(), and
686 returns Z_OK on success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR for an invalid deflate stream.
689 ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT deflateBound
OF((z_streamp strm

692 deflateBound() returns an upper bound on the compressed size after
693 deflation of sourceLen bytes. It must be called after deflateInit() or
694 deflateInit2(), and after deflateSetHeader(), if used. This would be used
695 to allocate an output buffer for deflation in a single pass, and so would be
696 called before deflate().
699 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflatePrime
OF((z_streamp strm
,
703 deflatePrime() inserts bits in the deflate output stream. The intent
704 is that this function is used to start off the deflate output with the bits
705 leftover from a previous deflate stream when appending to it. As such, this
706 function can only be used for raw deflate, and must be used before the first
707 deflate() call after a deflateInit2() or deflateReset(). bits must be less
708 than or equal to 16, and that many of the least significant bits of value
709 will be inserted in the output.
711 deflatePrime returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
712 stream state was inconsistent.
715 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT deflateSetHeader
OF((z_streamp strm
,
718 deflateSetHeader() provides gzip header information for when a gzip
719 stream is requested by deflateInit2(). deflateSetHeader() may be called
720 after deflateInit2() or deflateReset() and before the first call of
721 deflate(). The text, time, os, extra field, name, and comment information
722 in the provided gz_header structure are written to the gzip header (xflag is
723 ignored -- the extra flags are set according to the compression level). The
724 caller must assure that, if not Z_NULL, name and comment are terminated with
725 a zero byte, and that if extra is not Z_NULL, that extra_len bytes are
726 available there. If hcrc is true, a gzip header crc is included. Note that
727 the current versions of the command-line version of gzip (up through version
728 1.3.x) do not support header crc's, and will report that it is a "multi-part
729 gzip file" and give up.
731 If deflateSetHeader is not used, the default gzip header has text false,
732 the time set to zero, and os set to 255, with no extra, name, or comment
733 fields. The gzip header is returned to the default state by deflateReset().
735 deflateSetHeader returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
736 stream state was inconsistent.
740 ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateInit2 OF((z_streamp strm,
743 This is another version of inflateInit with an extra parameter. The
744 fields next_in, avail_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized
745 before by the caller.
747 The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the maximum window
748 size (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for
749 this version of the library. The default value is 15 if inflateInit is used
750 instead. windowBits must be greater than or equal to the windowBits value
751 provided to deflateInit2() while compressing, or it must be equal to 15 if
752 deflateInit2() was not used. If a compressed stream with a larger window
753 size is given as input, inflate() will return with the error code
754 Z_DATA_ERROR instead of trying to allocate a larger window.
756 windowBits can also be zero to request that inflate use the window size in
757 the zlib header of the compressed stream.
759 windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw inflate. In this case, -windowBits
760 determines the window size. inflate() will then process raw deflate data,
761 not looking for a zlib or gzip header, not generating a check value, and not
762 looking for any check values for comparison at the end of the stream. This
763 is for use with other formats that use the deflate compressed data format
764 such as zip. Those formats provide their own check values. If a custom
765 format is developed using the raw deflate format for compressed data, it is
766 recommended that a check value such as an adler32 or a crc32 be applied to
767 the uncompressed data as is done in the zlib, gzip, and zip formats. For
768 most applications, the zlib format should be used as is. Note that comments
769 above on the use in deflateInit2() applies to the magnitude of windowBits.
771 windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip decoding. Add
772 32 to windowBits to enable zlib and gzip decoding with automatic header
773 detection, or add 16 to decode only the gzip format (the zlib format will
774 return a Z_DATA_ERROR). If a gzip stream is being decoded, strm->adler is a
775 crc32 instead of an adler32.
777 inflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
778 memory, Z_VERSION_ERROR if the zlib library version is incompatible with the
779 version assumed by the caller, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the parameters are
780 invalid, such as a null pointer to the structure. msg is set to null if
781 there is no error message. inflateInit2 does not perform any decompression
782 apart from possibly reading the zlib header if present: actual decompression
783 will be done by inflate(). (So next_in and avail_in may be modified, but
784 next_out and avail_out are unused and unchanged.) The current implementation
785 of inflateInit2() does not process any header information -- that is
786 deferred until inflate() is called.

793 Initializes the decompression dictionary from the given uncompressed byte
794 sequence. This function must be called immediately after a call of inflate,
795 if that call returned Z_NEED_DICT. The dictionary chosen by the compressor
796 can be determined from the adler32 value returned by that call of inflate.
797 The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same dictionary (see
798 deflateSetDictionary). For raw inflate, this function can be called
799 immediately after inflateInit2() or inflateReset() and before any call of
800 inflate() to set the dictionary. The application must insure that the
801 dictionary that was used for compression is provided.
803 inflateSetDictionary returns Z_OK if success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a
804 parameter is invalid (e.g. dictionary being Z_NULL) or the stream state is
805 inconsistent, Z_DATA_ERROR if the given dictionary doesn't match the
806 expected one (incorrect adler32 value). inflateSetDictionary does not
807 perform any decompression: this will be done by subsequent calls of

814 description of deflate with Z_FULL_FLUSH) can be found, or until all
815 available input is skipped. No output is provided.
817 inflateSync returns Z_OK if a full flush point has been found, Z_BUF_ERROR
818 if no more input was provided, Z_DATA_ERROR if no flush point has been
819 found, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream structure was inconsistent. In the
820 success case, the application may save the current current value of total_in
821 which indicates where valid compressed data was found. In the error case,
822 the application may repeatedly call inflateSync, providing more input each
823 time, until success or end of the input data.

852 ZEXTERN

855 This function is the same as inflateReset, but it also permits changing
856 the wrap and window size requests. The windowBits parameter is interpreted
857 the same as it is for inflateInit2.

861 the windowBits parameter is invalid.

868 This function inserts bits in the inflate input stream. The intent is
869 that this function is used to start inflating at a bit position in the
870 middle of a byte. The provided bits will be used before any bytes are used
871 from next_in. This function should only be used with raw inflate, and
872 should be used before the first inflate() call after inflateInit2() or
873 inflateReset(). bits must be less than or equal to 16, and that many of the
874 least significant bits of value will be inserted in the input.
876 If bits is negative, then the input stream bit buffer is emptied. Then
877 inflatePrime() can be called again to put bits in the buffer. This is used
878 to clear out bits leftover after feeding inflate a block description prior
879 to feeding inflate codes.
881 inflatePrime returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
882 stream state was inconsistent.
885 ZEXTERN
long ZEXPORT inflateMark
OF((z_streamp strm
));
887 This function returns two values, one in the lower 16 bits of the return
888 value, and the other in the remaining upper bits, obtained by shifting the
889 return value down 16 bits. If the upper value is -1 and the lower value is
890 zero, then inflate() is currently decoding information outside of a block.
891 If the upper value is -1 and the lower value is non-zero, then inflate is in
892 the middle of a stored block, with the lower value equaling the number of
893 bytes from the input remaining to copy. If the upper value is not -1, then
894 it is the number of bits back from the current bit position in the input of
895 the code (literal or length/distance pair) currently being processed. In
896 that case the lower value is the number of bytes already emitted for that
899 A code is being processed if inflate is waiting for more input to complete
900 decoding of the code, or if it has completed decoding but is waiting for
901 more output space to write the literal or match data.
903 inflateMark() is used to mark locations in the input data for random
904 access, which may be at bit positions, and to note those cases where the
905 output of a code may span boundaries of random access blocks. The current
906 location in the input stream can be determined from avail_in and data_type
907 as noted in the description for the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate.
909 inflateMark returns the value noted above or -1 << 16 if the provided
910 source stream state was inconsistent.
913 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT inflateGetHeader
OF((z_streamp strm
,
916 inflateGetHeader() requests that gzip header information be stored in the
917 provided gz_header structure. inflateGetHeader() may be called after
918 inflateInit2() or inflateReset(), and before the first call of inflate().
919 As inflate() processes the gzip stream, head->done is zero until the header
920 is completed, at which time head->done is set to one. If a zlib stream is
921 being decoded, then head->done is set to -1 to indicate that there will be
922 no gzip header information forthcoming. Note that Z_BLOCK or Z_TREES can be
923 used to force inflate() to return immediately after header processing is
924 complete and before any actual data is decompressed.
926 The text, time, xflags, and os fields are filled in with the gzip header
927 contents. hcrc is set to true if there is a header CRC. (The header CRC
928 was valid if done is set to one.) If extra is not Z_NULL, then extra_max
929 contains the maximum number of bytes to write to extra. Once done is true,
930 extra_len contains the actual extra field length, and extra contains the
931 extra field, or that field truncated if extra_max is less than extra_len.
932 If name is not Z_NULL, then up to name_max characters are written there,
933 terminated with a zero unless the length is greater than name_max. If
934 comment is not Z_NULL, then up to comm_max characters are written there,
935 terminated with a zero unless the length is greater than comm_max. When any
936 of extra, name, or comment are not Z_NULL and the respective field is not
937 present in the header, then that field is set to Z_NULL to signal its
938 absence. This allows the use of deflateSetHeader() with the returned
939 structure to duplicate the header. However if those fields are set to
940 allocated memory, then the application will need to save those pointers
941 elsewhere so that they can be eventually freed.
943 If inflateGetHeader is not used, then the header information is simply
944 discarded. The header is always checked for validity, including the header
945 CRC if present. inflateReset() will reset the process to discard the header
946 information. The application would need to call inflateGetHeader() again to
947 retrieve the header from the next gzip stream.
949 inflateGetHeader returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the source
950 stream state was inconsistent.
954 ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT inflateBackInit OF((z_streamp strm, int windowBits,
955 unsigned char FAR *window));
957 Initialize the internal stream state for decompression using inflateBack()
958 calls. The fields zalloc, zfree and opaque in strm must be initialized
959 before the call. If zalloc and zfree are Z_NULL, then the default library-
960 derived memory allocation routines are used. windowBits is the base two
961 logarithm of the window size, in the range 8..15. window is a caller
962 supplied buffer of that size. Except for special applications where it is
963 assured that deflate was used with small window sizes, windowBits must be 15
964 and a 32K byte window must be supplied to be able to decompress general
967 See inflateBack() for the usage of these routines.
969 inflateBackInit will return Z_OK on success, Z_STREAM_ERROR if any of
970 the paramaters are invalid, Z_MEM_ERROR if the internal state could not be

982 inflateBack() does a raw inflate with a single call using a call-back
983 interface for input and output. This is more efficient than inflate() for
984 file i/o applications in that it avoids copying between the output and the
985 sliding window by simply making the window itself the output buffer. This
986 function trusts the application to not change the output buffer passed by
987 the output function, at least until inflateBack() returns.
989 inflateBackInit() must be called first to allocate the internal state
990 and to initialize the state with the user-provided window buffer.
991 inflateBack() may then be used multiple times to inflate a complete, raw
992 deflate stream with each call. inflateBackEnd() is then called to free the
995 A raw deflate stream is one with no zlib or gzip header or trailer.
996 This routine would normally be used in a utility that reads zip or gzip
997 files and writes out uncompressed files. The utility would decode the
998 header and process the trailer on its own, hence this routine expects only
999 the raw deflate stream to decompress. This is different from the normal
1000 behavior of inflate(), which expects either a zlib or gzip header and
1001 trailer around the deflate stream.
1003 inflateBack() uses two subroutines supplied by the caller that are then
1004 called by inflateBack() for input and output. inflateBack() calls those
1005 routines until it reads a complete deflate stream and writes out all of the
1006 uncompressed data, or until it encounters an error. The function's
1007 parameters and return types are defined above in the in_func and out_func
1008 typedefs. inflateBack() will call in(in_desc, &buf) which should return the
1009 number of bytes of provided input, and a pointer to that input in buf. If
1010 there is no input available, in() must return zero--buf is ignored in that
1011 case--and inflateBack() will return a buffer error. inflateBack() will call
1012 out(out_desc, buf, len) to write the uncompressed data buf[0..len-1]. out()
1013 should return zero on success, or non-zero on failure. If out() returns
1014 non-zero, inflateBack() will return with an error. Neither in() nor out()
1015 are permitted to change the contents of the window provided to
1016 inflateBackInit(), which is also the buffer that out() uses to write from.
1017 The length written by out() will be at most the window size. Any non-zero
1018 amount of input may be provided by in().
1020 For convenience, inflateBack() can be provided input on the first call by
1021 setting strm->next_in and strm->avail_in. If that input is exhausted, then
1022 in() will be called. Therefore strm->next_in must be initialized before
1023 calling inflateBack(). If strm->next_in is Z_NULL, then in() will be called
1024 immediately for input. If strm->next_in is not Z_NULL, then strm->avail_in
1025 must also be initialized, and then if strm->avail_in is not zero, input will
1026 initially be taken from strm->next_in[0 .. strm->avail_in - 1].
1028 The in_desc and out_desc parameters of inflateBack() is passed as the
1029 first parameter of in() and out() respectively when they are called. These
1030 descriptors can be optionally used to pass any information that the caller-
1031 supplied in() and out() functions need to do their job.
1033 On return, inflateBack() will set strm->next_in and strm->avail_in to
1034 pass back any unused input that was provided by the last in() call. The
1035 return values of inflateBack() can be Z_STREAM_END on success, Z_BUF_ERROR
1036 if in() or out() returned an error, Z_DATA_ERROR if there was a format error
1037 in the deflate stream (in which case strm->msg is set to indicate the nature
1038 of the error), or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream was not properly initialized.
1039 In the case of Z_BUF_ERROR, an input or output error can be distinguished
1040 using strm->next_in which will be Z_NULL only if in() returned an error. If
1041 strm->next_in is not Z_NULL, then the Z_BUF_ERROR was due to out() returning
1042 non-zero. (in() will always be called before out(), so strm->next_in is
1043 assured to be defined if out() returns non-zero.) Note that inflateBack()

1088 24: 0 = vs*, 1 = s* -- 1 means limited to 20 arguments after the format
1089 25: 0 = *nprintf, 1 = *printf -- 1 means gzprintf() not secure!
1090 26: 0 = returns value, 1 = void -- 1 means inferred string length returned
1097 /* utility functions */
1100 The following utility functions are implemented on top of the basic
1101 stream-oriented functions. To simplify the interface, some default options
1102 are assumed (compression level and memory usage, standard memory allocation
1103 functions). The source code of these utility functions can be modified if
1104 you need special options.
1107 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT compress
OF((Bytef
*dest
, uLongf
*destLen
,
1108 const Bytef
*source
, uLong sourceLen
));
1110 Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
1111 the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size
1112 of the destination buffer, which must be at least the value returned by
1113 compressBound(sourceLen). Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the
1116 compress returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
1117 enough memory, Z_BUF_ERROR if there was not enough room in the output
1121 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT compress2
OF((Bytef
*dest
, uLongf
*destLen
,
1122 const Bytef
*source
, uLong sourceLen
,
1125 Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. The level
1126 parameter has the same meaning as in deflateInit. sourceLen is the byte
1127 length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size of the
1128 destination buffer, which must be at least the value returned by
1129 compressBound(sourceLen). Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the
1132 compress2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
1133 memory, Z_BUF_ERROR if there was not enough room in the output buffer,
1134 Z_STREAM_ERROR if the level parameter is invalid.
1137 ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT compressBound
OF((uLong sourceLen
));
1139 compressBound() returns an upper bound on the compressed size after
1140 compress() or compress2() on sourceLen bytes. It would be used before a
1141 compress() or compress2() call to allocate the destination buffer.
1144 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT uncompress
OF((Bytef
*dest
, uLongf
*destLen
,
1145 const Bytef
*source
, uLong sourceLen
));
1147 Decompresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
1148 the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size
1149 of the destination buffer, which must be large enough to hold the entire
1150 uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data must have been saved
1151 previously by the compressor and transmitted to the decompressor by some
1152 mechanism outside the scope of this compression library.) Upon exit, destLen
1153 is the actual size of the uncompressed buffer.
1155 uncompress returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
1156 enough memory, Z_BUF_ERROR if there was not enough room in the output
1157 buffer, or Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was corrupted or incomplete.
1161 /* gzip file access functions */
1164 This library supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format with
1165 an interface similar to that of stdio, using the functions that start with
1166 "gz". The gzip format is different from the zlib format. gzip is a gzip
1167 wrapper, documented in RFC 1952, wrapped around a deflate stream.
1170 typedef voidp gzFile
; /* opaque gzip file descriptor */
1173 ZEXTERN gzFile ZEXPORT gzopen OF((const char *path, const char *mode));
1175 Opens a gzip (.gz) file for reading or writing. The mode parameter is as
1176 in fopen ("rb" or "wb") but can also include a compression level ("wb9") or
1177 a strategy: 'f' for filtered data as in "wb6f", 'h' for Huffman-only
1178 compression as in "wb1h", 'R' for run-length encoding as in "wb1R", or 'F'
1179 for fixed code compression as in "wb9F". (See the description of
1180 deflateInit2 for more information about the strategy parameter.) Also "a"
1181 can be used instead of "w" to request that the gzip stream that will be
1182 written be appended to the file. "+" will result in an error, since reading
1183 and writing to the same gzip file is not supported.
1185 gzopen can be used to read a file which is not in gzip format; in this
1186 case gzread will directly read from the file without decompression.
1188 gzopen returns NULL if the file could not be opened, if there was
1189 insufficient memory to allocate the gzFile state, or if an invalid mode was
1190 specified (an 'r', 'w', or 'a' was not provided, or '+' was provided).
1191 errno can be checked to determine if the reason gzopen failed was that the
1192 file could not be opened.
1195 ZEXTERN gzFile ZEXPORT gzdopen
OF((int fd
, const char *mode
));
1197 gzdopen associates a gzFile with the file descriptor fd. File descriptors
1198 are obtained from calls like open, dup, creat, pipe or fileno (if the file
1199 has been previously opened with fopen). The mode parameter is as in gzopen.
1201 The next call of gzclose on the returned gzFile will also close the file
1202 descriptor fd, just like fclose(fdopen(fd, mode)) closes the file descriptor
1203 fd. If you want to keep fd open, use fd = dup(fd_keep); gz = gzdopen(fd,
1204 mode);. The duplicated descriptor should be saved to avoid a leak, since
1205 gzdopen does not close fd if it fails.
1207 gzdopen returns NULL if there was insufficient memory to allocate the
1208 gzFile state, if an invalid mode was specified (an 'r', 'w', or 'a' was not
1209 provided, or '+' was provided), or if fd is -1. The file descriptor is not
1210 used until the next gz* read, write, seek, or close operation, so gzdopen
1211 will not detect if fd is invalid (unless fd is -1).
1214 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzbuffer
OF((gzFile file
, unsigned size
));
1216 Set the internal buffer size used by this library's functions. The
1217 default buffer size is 8192 bytes. This function must be called after
1218 gzopen() or gzdopen(), and before any other calls that read or write the
1219 file. The buffer memory allocation is always deferred to the first read or
1220 write. Two buffers are allocated, either both of the specified size when
1221 writing, or one of the specified size and the other twice that size when
1222 reading. A larger buffer size of, for example, 64K or 128K bytes will
1223 noticeably increase the speed of decompression (reading).
1225 The new buffer size also affects the maximum length for gzprintf().
1227 gzbuffer() returns 0 on success, or -1 on failure, such as being called
1231 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzsetparams
OF((gzFile file
, int level
, int strategy
));
1233 Dynamically update the compression level or strategy. See the description
1234 of deflateInit2 for the meaning of these parameters.
1236 gzsetparams returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the file was not
1240 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzread
OF((gzFile file
, voidp buf
, unsigned len
));
1242 Reads the given number of uncompressed bytes from the compressed file. If
1243 the input file was not in gzip format, gzread copies the given number of
1244 bytes into the buffer.
1246 After reaching the end of a gzip stream in the input, gzread will continue
1247 to read, looking for another gzip stream, or failing that, reading the rest
1248 of the input file directly without decompression. The entire input file
1249 will be read if gzread is called until it returns less than the requested
1252 gzread returns the number of uncompressed bytes actually read, less than
1253 len for end of file, or -1 for error.
1256 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzwrite
OF((gzFile file
,
1257 voidpc buf
, unsigned len
));
1259 Writes the given number of uncompressed bytes into the compressed file.
1260 gzwrite returns the number of uncompressed bytes written or 0 in case of
1264 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORTVA gzprintf
OF((gzFile file
, const char *format
, ...));
1266 Converts, formats, and writes the arguments to the compressed file under
1267 control of the format string, as in fprintf. gzprintf returns the number of
1268 uncompressed bytes actually written, or 0 in case of error. The number of
1269 uncompressed bytes written is limited to 8191, or one less than the buffer
1270 size given to gzbuffer(). The caller should assure that this limit is not
1271 exceeded. If it is exceeded, then gzprintf() will return an error (0) with
1272 nothing written. In this case, there may also be a buffer overflow with
1273 unpredictable consequences, which is possible only if zlib was compiled with
1274 the insecure functions sprintf() or vsprintf() because the secure snprintf()
1275 or vsnprintf() functions were not available. This can be determined using
1279 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzputs
OF((gzFile file
, const char *s
));
1281 Writes the given null-terminated string to the compressed file, excluding
1282 the terminating null character.
1284 gzputs returns the number of characters written, or -1 in case of error.
1287 ZEXTERN
char * ZEXPORT gzgets
OF((gzFile file
, char *buf
, int len
));
1289 Reads bytes from the compressed file until len-1 characters are read, or a
1290 newline character is read and transferred to buf, or an end-of-file
1291 condition is encountered. If any characters are read or if len == 1, the
1292 string is terminated with a null character. If no characters are read due
1293 to an end-of-file or len < 1, then the buffer is left untouched.
1295 gzgets returns buf which is a null-terminated string, or it returns NULL
1296 for end-of-file or in case of error. If there was an error, the contents at
1297 buf are indeterminate.
1300 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzputc
OF((gzFile file
, int c
));
1302 Writes c, converted to an unsigned char, into the compressed file. gzputc
1303 returns the value that was written, or -1 in case of error.
1306 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzgetc
OF((gzFile file
));
1308 Reads one byte from the compressed file. gzgetc returns this byte or -1
1309 in case of end of file or error.
1312 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzungetc
OF((int c
, gzFile file
));
1314 Push one character back onto the stream to be read as the first character
1315 on the next read. At least one character of push-back is allowed.
1316 gzungetc() returns the character pushed, or -1 on failure. gzungetc() will
1317 fail if c is -1, and may fail if a character has been pushed but not read
1318 yet. If gzungetc is used immediately after gzopen or gzdopen, at least the
1319 output buffer size of pushed characters is allowed. (See gzbuffer above.)
1320 The pushed character will be discarded if the stream is repositioned with
1321 gzseek() or gzrewind().
1324 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzflush
OF((gzFile file
, int flush
));
1326 Flushes all pending output into the compressed file. The parameter flush
1327 is as in the deflate() function. The return value is the zlib error number
1328 (see function gzerror below). gzflush is only permitted when writing.
1330 If the flush parameter is Z_FINISH, the remaining data is written and the
1331 gzip stream is completed in the output. If gzwrite() is called again, a new
1332 gzip stream will be started in the output. gzread() is able to read such
1333 concatented gzip streams.
1335 gzflush should be called only when strictly necessary because it will
1336 degrade compression if called too often.
1340 ZEXTERN z_off_t ZEXPORT gzseek OF((gzFile file,
1341 z_off_t offset, int whence));
1343 Sets the starting position for the next gzread or gzwrite on the given
1344 compressed file. The offset represents a number of bytes in the
1345 uncompressed data stream. The whence parameter is defined as in lseek(2);
1346 the value SEEK_END is not supported.
1348 If the file is opened for reading, this function is emulated but can be
1349 extremely slow. If the file is opened for writing, only forward seeks are
1350 supported; gzseek then compresses a sequence of zeroes up to the new
1353 gzseek returns the resulting offset location as measured in bytes from
1354 the beginning of the uncompressed stream, or -1 in case of error, in
1355 particular if the file is opened for writing and the new starting position
1356 would be before the current position.
1359 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzrewind
OF((gzFile file
));
1361 Rewinds the given file. This function is supported only for reading.
1363 gzrewind(file) is equivalent to (int)gzseek(file, 0L, SEEK_SET)
1367 ZEXTERN z_off_t ZEXPORT gztell OF((gzFile file));
1369 Returns the starting position for the next gzread or gzwrite on the given
1370 compressed file. This position represents a number of bytes in the
1371 uncompressed data stream, and is zero when starting, even if appending or
1372 reading a gzip stream from the middle of a file using gzdopen().
1374 gztell(file) is equivalent to gzseek(file, 0L, SEEK_CUR)
1378 ZEXTERN z_off_t ZEXPORT gzoffset OF((gzFile file));
1380 Returns the current offset in the file being read or written. This offset
1381 includes the count of bytes that precede the gzip stream, for example when
1382 appending or when using gzdopen() for reading. When reading, the offset
1383 does not include as yet unused buffered input. This information can be used
1384 for a progress indicator. On error, gzoffset() returns -1.
1387 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzeof
OF((gzFile file
));
1389 Returns true (1) if the end-of-file indicator has been set while reading,
1390 false (0) otherwise. Note that the end-of-file indicator is set only if the
1391 read tried to go past the end of the input, but came up short. Therefore,
1392 just like feof(), gzeof() may return false even if there is no more data to
1393 read, in the event that the last read request was for the exact number of
1394 bytes remaining in the input file. This will happen if the input file size
1395 is an exact multiple of the buffer size.
1397 If gzeof() returns true, then the read functions will return no more data,
1398 unless the end-of-file indicator is reset by gzclearerr() and the input file
1399 has grown since the previous end of file was detected.
1402 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzdirect
OF((gzFile file
));
1404 Returns true (1) if file is being copied directly while reading, or false
1405 (0) if file is a gzip stream being decompressed. This state can change from
1406 false to true while reading the input file if the end of a gzip stream is
1407 reached, but is followed by data that is not another gzip stream.
1409 If the input file is empty, gzdirect() will return true, since the input
1410 does not contain a gzip stream.
1412 If gzdirect() is used immediately after gzopen() or gzdopen() it will
1413 cause buffers to be allocated to allow reading the file to determine if it
1414 is a gzip file. Therefore if gzbuffer() is used, it should be called before
1418 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzclose
OF((gzFile file
));
1420 Flushes all pending output if necessary, closes the compressed file and
1421 deallocates the (de)compression state. Note that once file is closed, you
1422 cannot call gzerror with file, since its structures have been deallocated.
1423 gzclose must not be called more than once on the same file, just as free
1424 must not be called more than once on the same allocation.
1426 gzclose will return Z_STREAM_ERROR if file is not valid, Z_ERRNO on a
1427 file operation error, or Z_OK on success.
1430 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzclose_r
OF((gzFile file
));
1431 ZEXTERN
int ZEXPORT gzclose_w
OF((gzFile file
));
1433 Same as gzclose(), but gzclose_r() is only for use when reading, and
1434 gzclose_w() is only for use when writing or appending. The advantage to
1435 using these instead of gzclose() is that they avoid linking in zlib
1436 compression or decompression code that is not used when only reading or only
1437 writing respectively. If gzclose() is used, then both compression and
1438 decompression code will be included the application when linking to a static
1442 ZEXTERN
const char * ZEXPORT gzerror
OF((gzFile file
, int *errnum
));
1444 Returns the error message for the last error which occurred on the given
1445 compressed file. errnum is set to zlib error number. If an error occurred
1446 in the file system and not in the compression library, errnum is set to
1447 Z_ERRNO and the application may consult errno to get the exact error code.
1449 The application must not modify the returned string. Future calls to
1450 this function may invalidate the previously returned string. If file is
1451 closed, then the string previously returned by gzerror will no longer be
1454 gzerror() should be used to distinguish errors from end-of-file for those
1455 functions above that do not distinguish those cases in their return values.
1458 ZEXTERN
void ZEXPORT gzclearerr
OF((gzFile file
));
1460 Clears the error and end-of-file flags for file. This is analogous to the
1461 clearerr() function in stdio. This is useful for continuing to read a gzip
1462 file that is being written concurrently.
1466 /* checksum functions */
1469 These functions are not related to compression but are exported
1470 anyway because they might be useful in applications using the compression
1474 ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT adler32
OF((uLong adler
, const Bytef

));
1476 Update a running Adler-32 checksum with the bytes buf[0..len-1] and
1477 return the updated checksum. If buf is Z_NULL, this function returns the
1478 required initial value for the checksum.
1480 An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC32 but can be computed
1485 uLong adler = adler32(0L, Z_NULL, 0);
1487 while (read_buffer(buffer, length) != EOF) {

1498 and seq2 with lengths len1 and len2, Adler-32 checksums were calculated for
1499 each, adler1 and adler2. adler32_combine() returns the Adler-32 checksum of

1507 initial value for the for the crc. Pre- and post-conditioning (one's
1508 complement) is performed within this function so it shouldn't be done by the
