      1 This directory contains examples of the use of zlib and other relevant
      2 programs and documentation.
      3 
      4 enough.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 
      9 fitblk.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 
     13 gun.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 
     20 gzappend.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 
     25 gzjoin.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 
     30 gzlog.c
     31 gzlog.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 
     37 gznorm.c
     38     normalize a gzip file by combining members into a single member
     39     - demonstrates how to concatenate deflate streams using Z_BLOCK
     40 
     41 zlib_how.html
     42     painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
     43     - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
     44 
     45 zpipe.c
     46     reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
     47     - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
     48     - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
     49 
     50 zran.c
     51 zran.h
     52     index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
     53     - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
     54       inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
