zlib 0.79 is a beta version of a general purpose compression library.
|
2011-09-10 01:36:31 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The data format used by the zlib library is described in the
|
|
|
|
|
file zlib-3.1.doc, deflate-1.1.doc and gzip-4.1.doc, available
|
|
|
|
|
in ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/doc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All functions of the compression library are documented in the file
|
|
|
|
|
zlib.h. A usage example of the library is given in the file example.c
|
|
|
|
|
which also tests that the library is working correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
To compile all files and run the test program, just type: make test
|
|
|
|

On MSDOS, this version works in large and small model with MSC; in
|
|
|
|
|
small model only with TurboC (bug being investigated). For both
|
|
|
|
|
compilers, small model compression works only for small values of
|
|
|
|
|
MEM_LEVEL and WBITS (see zutil.h), and requires -DUSE_CALLOC.
