README.examples
1This directory contains examples of the use of zlib and other relevant
2programs and documentation.
3
4enough.c
5 calculation and justification of ENOUGH parameter in inftrees.h
6 - calculates the maximum table space used in inflate tree
7 construction over all possible Huffman codes
8
9fitblk.c
10 compress just enough input to nearly fill a requested output size
11 - zlib isn't designed to do this, but fitblk does it anyway
12
13gun.c
14 uncompress a gzip file
15 - illustrates the use of inflateBack() for high speed file-to-file
16 decompression using call-back functions
17 - is approximately twice as fast as gzip -d
18 - also provides Unix uncompress functionality, again twice as fast
19
20gzappend.c
21 append to a gzip file
22 - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
23 - illustrates the use of deflatePrime() to start at any bit
24
25gzjoin.c
26 join gzip files without recalculating the crc or recompressing
27 - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
28 - illustrates the use of crc32_combine()
29
30gzlog.c
31gzlog.h
32 efficiently and robustly maintain a message log file in gzip format
33 - illustrates use of raw deflate, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, deflatePrime(),
34 and deflateSetDictionary()
35 - illustrates use of a gzip header extra field
36
37zlib_how.html
38 painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
39 - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
40
41zpipe.c
42 reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
43 - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
44 - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
45
46zran.c
47 index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
48 - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
49 inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
