README.examples
1This directory contains examples of the use of zlib.
2
3fitblk.c
4 compress just enough input to nearly fill a requested output size
5 - zlib isn't designed to do this, but fitblk does it anyway
6
7gun.c
8 uncompress a gzip file
9 - illustrates the use of inflateBack() for high speed file-to-file
10 decompression using call-back functions
11 - is approximately twice as fast as gzip -d
12 - also provides Unix uncompress functionality, again twice as fast
13
14gzappend.c
15 append to a gzip file
16 - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
17 - illustrates the use of deflatePrime() to start at any bit
18
19gzjoin.c
20 join gzip files without recalculating the crc or recompressing
21 - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
22 - illustrates the use of crc32_combine()
23
24gzlog.c
25gzlog.h
26 efficiently maintain a message log file in gzip format
27 - illustrates use of raw deflate and Z_SYNC_FLUSH
28 - illustrates use of gzip header extra field
29
30zlib_how.html
31 painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
32 - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
33
34zpipe.c
35 reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
36 - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
37 - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
38
39zran.c
40 index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
41 - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
42 inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
