-<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.

-<dl>
-<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="compress">compress</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen);</font>
-<dd>
- Compresses 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 at least 0.1% larger than
- sourceLen plus 12 bytes. Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the
- compressed buffer.<p>
- This function can be used to <a href="#compress">compress</a> a whole file at once if the
- input file is mmap'ed.<p>
- <a href="#compress">compress</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not
- enough memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if there was not enough room in the output
- buffer.<p>
-
-<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="compress2">compress2</a> (Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen, int level);</font>
-<dd>
- 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
- destination buffer, which must be at least 0.1% larger than sourceLen plus
- 12 bytes. Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the compressed buffer.
- <p>
-
- <a href="#compress2">compress2</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not enough
- memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if there was not enough room in the output buffer,
- <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if the level parameter is invalid.
- <p>
-
-<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
- input file is mmap'ed.
- <p>
-
- <a href="#uncompress">uncompress</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not
- enough memory, <a href="#Z_BUF_ERROR">Z_BUF_ERROR</a> if there was not enough room in the output
- buffer, or <a href="#Z_DATA_ERROR">Z_DATA_ERROR</a> if the input data was corrupted.
- <p>
-
-<dt> typedef voidp gzFile;
-<dd> <p>
-
-<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
- case <a href="#gzread">gzread</a> will directly read from the file without decompression.
- <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
- zlib error is <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a>).
- <p>
-
-<font color="Blue"><dt> gzFile <a name="gzdopen">gzdopen</a> (int fd, const char *mode);</font>
-<dd>
- <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>
-<dd>
- Dynamically update the compression level or strategy. See the description
- of <a href="#deflateInit2">deflateInit2</a> for the meaning of these parameters.
- <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
- the terminating null character.
- <p>
- <a href="#gzputs">gzputs</a> returns the number of characters written, or -1 in case of error.
- <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>
-
-<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzputc">gzputc</a> (gzFile file, int c);</font>
-<dd>
- Writes c, converted to an unsigned char, into the compressed file.
- <a href="#gzputc">gzputc</a> returns the value that was written, or -1 in case of error.
- <p>
-
-<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="gzgetc">gzgetc</a> (gzFile file);</font>
-<dd>
- Reads one byte from the compressed file. <a href="#gzgetc">gzgetc</a> returns this byte
- 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
- degrade compression.
- <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.
- <p>
- <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>
-<dd>
- 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
- given compressed file. errnum is set to zlib error number. If an
- 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.

- If the first character differs, the library code actually used is
- not compatible with the zlib.h header file used by the application.
- This check is automatically made by <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> and <a href="#inflateInit">inflateInit</a>.
- <p>
-
-<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="deflateInit">deflateInit</a> (<a href="#z_streamp">z_streamp</a> strm, int level);</font>
-<dd>
- Initializes the internal stream <a href="#state">state</a> for compression. The fields
- <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a>, <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> and <a href="#opaque">opaque</a> must be initialized before by the caller.
- If <a href="#zalloc">zalloc</a> and <a href="#zfree">zfree</a> are set to <a href="#Z_NULL">Z_NULL</a>, <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> updates them to
- use default allocation functions.
- <p>
-
- The compression level must be <a href="#Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION">Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION</a>, or between 0 and 9:
- 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression, 0 gives no compression at
- all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time).
- <p>
-
- <a href="#Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION">Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION</a> requests a default compromise between speed and
- compression (currently equivalent to level 6).
- <p>
-
- <a href="#deflateInit">deflateInit</a> returns <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a> if success, <a href="#Z_MEM_ERROR">Z_MEM_ERROR</a> if there was not
- enough memory, <a href="#Z_STREAM_ERROR">Z_STREAM_ERROR</a> if level is not a valid compression level,
- <a href="#Z_VERSION_ERROR">Z_VERSION_ERROR</a> if the zlib library version (<a href="#zlib_version">zlib_version</a>) is incompatible

- <p>
-
-<font color="Blue"><dt> int <a name="deflate">deflate</a> (<a href="#z_streamp">z_streamp</a> strm, int flush);</font>
-<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,
- pending output is flushed and <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> if there
- was enough output space ; if <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> returns with <a href="#Z_OK">Z_OK</a>, this function must be
- called again with <a href="#Z_FINISH">Z_FINISH</a> and more output space (updated <a href="#avail_out">avail_out</a>) but no
- more input data, until it returns with <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a> or an error. After
- <a href="#deflate">deflate</a> has returned <a href="#Z_STREAM_END">Z_STREAM_END</a>, the only possible operations on the
- stream are <a href="#deflateReset">deflateReset</a> or <a href="#deflateEnd">deflateEnd</a>.
- <p>

-<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-> <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

-
- 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

-
- 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

-<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();
- </pre>

- 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>
