We start off by reading data from the input file. The number of bytes read is put directly
into <tt>avail_in</tt>, and a pointer to those bytes is put into <tt>next_in</tt>. We also
check to see if end-of-file on the input has been reached. If we are at the end of file, then <tt>flush</tt> is set to the
check to see if end-of-file on the input has been reached using feof().
If we are at the end of file, then <tt>flush</tt> is set to the
<em>zlib</em> constant <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>, which is later passed to <tt>deflate()</tt> to
indicate that this is the last chunk of input data to compress. We need to use <tt>feof()</tt>
to check for end-of-file as opposed to seeing if fewer than <tt>CHUNK</tt> bytes have been read. The
reason is that if the input file length is an exact multiple of <tt>CHUNK</tt>, we will miss
the fact that we got to the end-of-file, and not know to tell <tt>deflate()</tt> to finish
up the compressed stream. If we are not yet at the end of the input, then the <em>zlib</em>
indicate that this is the last chunk of input data to compress.
If we are not yet at the end of the input, then the <em>zlib</em>
constant <tt>Z_NO_FLUSH</tt> will be passed to <tt>deflate</tt> to indicate that we are still
in the middle of the uncompressed data.
