      1 Zopfli Compression Algorithm is a compression library programmed in C to perform
      2 very good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression.
      3 
      4 zopfli.c is separate from the library and contains an example program to create
      5 very well compressed gzip files.
      6 
      7 The basic functions to compress data are ZopfliDeflate in deflate.h,
      8 ZopfliZlibCompress in zlib_container.h and ZopfliGzipCompress in
      9 gzip_container.h. Use the ZopfliOptions object to set parameters that affect the
     10 speed and compression. Use the ZopfliInitOptions function to place the default
     11 values in the ZopfliOptions first.

     13 Deflate creates a valid deflate stream in memory, see:
     14 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt
     15 ZlibCompress creates a valid zlib stream in memory, see:
     16 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt
     17 GzipCompress creates a valid gzip stream in memory, see:
     18 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt

     20 This library can only compress, not decompress. Existing zlib or deflate
     21 libraries can decompress the data.

     23 Zopfli Compression Algorithm was created by Lode Vandevenne and Jyrki
     24 Alakuijala, based on an algorithm by Jyrki Alakuijala.
