-We often get questions about how the <tt>deflate()</tt> and <tt>inflate()</tt> functions should be used.
-Users wonder when they should provide more input, when they should use more output,
-what to do with a <tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt>, how to make sure the process terminates properly, and
-so on. So for those who have read <tt>zlib.h</tt> (a few times), and
-would like further edification, below is an annotated example in C of simple routines to compress and decompress
-from an input file to an output file using <tt>deflate()</tt> and <tt>inflate()</tt> respectively. The
-annotations are interspersed between lines of the code. So please read between the lines.
-We hope this helps explain some of the intricacies of <em>zlib</em>.
-<p>
-Without further adieu, here is the program <a href="zpipe.c"><tt>zpipe.c</tt></a>:

-The first thing we do is to initialize the <em>zlib</em> state for compression using
-<tt>deflateInit()</tt>. This must be done before the first use of <tt>deflate()</tt>.
-The <tt>zalloc</tt>, <tt>zfree</tt>, and <tt>opaque</tt> fields in the <tt>strm</tt>
-structure must be initialized before calling <tt>deflateInit()</tt>. Here they are
-set to the <em>zlib</em> constant <tt>Z_NULL</tt> to request that <em>zlib</em> use
-the default memory allocation routines. An application may also choose to provide
-custom memory allocation routines here. <tt>deflateInit()</tt> will allocate on the
-order of 256K bytes for the internal state.
-(See <a href="zlib_tech.html"><em>zlib Technical Details</em></a>.)
-<p>
-<tt>deflateInit()</tt> is called with a pointer to the structure to be initialized and
-the compression level, which is an integer in the range of -1 to 9. Lower compression
-levels result in faster execution, but less compression. Higher levels result in
-greater compression, but slower execution. The <em>zlib</em> constant Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION,
-equal to -1,
-provides a good compromise between compression and speed and is equivalent to level 6.
-Level 0 actually does no compression at all, and in fact expands the data slightly to produce
-the <em>zlib</em> format (it is not a byte-for-byte copy of the input).
-More advanced applications of <em>zlib</em>
-may use <tt>deflateInit2()</tt> here instead. Such an application may want to reduce how
-much memory will be used, at some price in compression. Or it may need to request a
-<em>gzip</em> header and trailer instead of a <em>zlib</em> header and trailer, or raw
-encoding with no header or trailer at all.
-<p>
-We must check the return value of <tt>deflateInit()</tt> against the <em>zlib</em> constant
-<tt>Z_OK</tt> to make sure that it was able to
-allocate memory for the internal state, and that the provided arguments were valid.
-<tt>deflateInit()</tt> will also check that the version of <em>zlib</em> that the <tt>zlib.h</tt>
-file came from matches the version of <em>zlib</em> actually linked with the program. This
-is especially important for environments in which <em>zlib</em> is a shared library.
-<p>
-Note that an application can initialize multiple, independent <em>zlib</em> streams, which can
-operate in parallel. The state information maintained in the structure allows the <em>zlib</em>
-routines to be reentrant.

-With the pleasantries out of the way, now we can get down to business. The outer <tt>do</tt>-loop
-reads all of the input file and exits at the bottom of the loop once end-of-file is reached.
-This loop contains the only call of <tt>deflate()</tt>. So we must make sure that all of the
-input data has been processed and that all of the output data has been generated and consumed
-before we fall out of the loop at the bottom.
-<pre><b>
- /* compress until end of file */
- do {
-</b></pre>
-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
-<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>
-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.
-<p>
-If there is an error in reading from the input file, the process is aborted with
-<tt>deflateEnd()</tt> being called to free the allocated <em>zlib</em> state before returning
-the error. We wouldn't want a memory leak, now would we? <tt>deflateEnd()</tt> can be called
-at any time after the state has been initialized. Once that's done, <tt>deflateInit()</tt> (or
-<tt>deflateInit2()</tt>) would have to be called to start a new compression process. There is
-no point here in checking the <tt>deflateEnd()</tt> return code. The deallocation can't fail.

-The inner <tt>do</tt>-loop passes our chunk of input data to <tt>deflate()</tt>, and then
-keeps calling <tt>deflate()</tt> until it is done producing output. Once there is no more
-new output, <tt>deflate()</tt> is guaranteed to have consumed all of the input, i.e.,
-<tt>avail_in</tt> will be zero.
-<pre><b>
- /* run deflate() on input until output buffer not full, finish
- compression if all of source has been read in */
- do {
-</b></pre>
-Output space is provided to <tt>deflate()</tt> by setting <tt>avail_out</tt> to the number
-of available output bytes and <tt>next_out</tt> to a pointer to that space.
-<pre><b>
- strm.avail_out = CHUNK;
- strm.next_out = out;
-</b></pre>
-Now we call the compression engine itself, <tt>deflate()</tt>. It takes as many of the
-<tt>avail_in</tt> bytes at <tt>next_in</tt> as it can process, and writes as many as
-<tt>avail_out</tt> bytes to <tt>next_out</tt>. Those counters and pointers are then
-updated past the input data consumed and the output data written. It is the amount of
-output space available that may limit how much input is consumed.
-Hence the inner loop to make sure that
-all of the input is consumed by providing more output space each time. Since <tt>avail_in</tt>
-and <tt>next_in</tt> are updated by <tt>deflate()</tt>, we don't have to mess with those
-between <tt>deflate()</tt> calls until it's all used up.
-<p>
-The parameters to <tt>deflate()</tt> are a pointer to the <tt>strm</tt> structure containing
-the input and output information and the internal compression engine state, and a parameter
-indicating whether and how to flush data to the output. Normally <tt>deflate</tt> will consume
-several K bytes of input data before producing any output (except for the header), in order
-to accumulate statistics on the data for optimum compression. It will then put out a burst of
-compressed data, and proceed to consume more input before the next burst. Eventually,
-<tt>deflate()</tt>
-must be told to terminate the stream, complete the compression with provided input data, and
-write out the trailer check value. <tt>deflate()</tt> will continue to compress normally as long
-as the flush parameter is <tt>Z_NO_FLUSH</tt>. Once the <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> parameter is provided,
-<tt>deflate()</tt> will begin to complete the compressed output stream. However depending on how
-much output space is provided, <tt>deflate()</tt> may have to be called several times until it
-has provided the complete compressed stream, even after it has consumed all of the input. The flush
-parameter must continue to be <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> for those subsequent calls.
-<p>
-There are other values of the flush parameter that are used in more advanced applications. You can
-force <tt>deflate()</tt> to produce a burst of output that encodes all of the input data provided
-so far, even if it wouldn't have otherwise, for example to control data latency on a link with
-compressed data. You can also ask that <tt>deflate()</tt> do that as well as erase any history up to
-that point so that what follows can be decompressed independently, for example for random access
-applications. Both requests will degrade compression by an amount depending on how often such
-requests are made.
-<p>
-<tt>deflate()</tt> has a return value that can indicate errors, yet we do not check it here. Why
-not? Well, it turns out that <tt>deflate()</tt> can do no wrong here. Let's go through
-<tt>deflate()</tt>'s return values and dispense with them one by one. The possible values are
-<tt>Z_OK</tt>, <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt>, <tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt>, or <tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt>. <tt>Z_OK</tt>
-is, well, ok. <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt> is also ok and will be returned for the last call of
-<tt>deflate()</tt>. This is already guaranteed by calling <tt>deflate()</tt> with <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>
-until it has no more output. <tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt> is only possible if the stream is not
-initialized properly, but we did initialize it properly. There is no harm in checking for
-<tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt> here, for example to check for the possibility that some
-other part of the application inadvertently clobbered the memory containing the <em>zlib</em> state.
-<tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt> will be explained further below, but
-suffice it to say that this is simply an indication that <tt>deflate()</tt> could not consume
-more input or produce more output. <tt>deflate()</tt> can be called again with more output space
-or more available input, which it will be in this code.
-<pre><b>
- ret = deflate(&amp;strm, flush); /* no bad return value */
- assert(ret != Z_STREAM_ERROR); /* state not clobbered */
-</b></pre>
-Now we compute how much output <tt>deflate()</tt> provided on the last call, which is the
-difference between how much space was provided before the call, and how much output space
-is still available after the call. Then that data, if any, is written to the output file.
-We can then reuse the output buffer for the next call of <tt>deflate()</tt>. Again if there
-is a file i/o error, we call <tt>deflateEnd()</tt> before returning to avoid a memory leak.
-<pre><b>
- have = CHUNK - strm.avail_out;
- if (fwrite(out, 1, have, dest) != have || ferror(dest)) {
- (void)deflateEnd(&amp;strm);
- return Z_ERRNO;
- }
-</b></pre>
-The inner <tt>do</tt>-loop is repeated until the last <tt>deflate()</tt> call fails to fill the
-provided output buffer. Then we know that <tt>deflate()</tt> has done as much as it can with
-the provided input, and that all of that input has been consumed. We can then fall out of this
-loop and reuse the input buffer.
-<p>
-The way we tell that <tt>deflate()</tt> has no more output is by seeing that it did not fill
-the output buffer, leaving <tt>avail_out</tt> greater than zero. However suppose that
-<tt>deflate()</tt> has no more output, but just so happened to exactly fill the output buffer!
-<tt>avail_out</tt> is zero, and we can't tell that <tt>deflate()</tt> has done all it can.
-As far as we know, <tt>deflate()</tt>
-has more output for us. So we call it again. But now <tt>deflate()</tt> produces no output
-at all, and <tt>avail_out</tt> remains unchanged as <tt>CHUNK</tt>. That <tt>deflate()</tt> call
-wasn't able to do anything, either consume input or produce output, and so it returns
-<tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt>. (See, I told you I'd cover this later.) However this is not a problem at
-all. Now we finally have the desired indication that <tt>deflate()</tt> is really done,
-and so we drop out of the inner loop to provide more input to <tt>deflate()</tt>.
-<p>
-With <tt>flush</tt> set to <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>, this final set of <tt>deflate()</tt> calls will
-complete the output stream. Once that is done, subsequent calls of <tt>deflate()</tt> would return
-<tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt> if the flush parameter is not <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>, and do no more processing
-until the state is reinitialized.
-<p>
-Some applications of <em>zlib</em> have two loops that call <tt>deflate()</tt>
-instead of the single inner loop we have here. The first loop would call
-without flushing and feed all of the data to <tt>deflate()</tt>. The second loop would call
-<tt>deflate()</tt> with no more
-data and the <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> parameter to complete the process. As you can see from this
-example, that can be avoided by simply keeping track of the current flush state.
-<pre><b>
- } while (strm.avail_out == 0);
- assert(strm.avail_in == 0); /* all input will be used */
-</b></pre><!-- -->
-Now we check to see if we have already processed all of the input file. That information was
-saved in the <tt>flush</tt> variable, so we see if that was set to <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>. If so,
-then we're done and we fall out of the outer loop. We're guaranteed to get <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt>
-from the last <tt>deflate()</tt> call, since we ran it until the last chunk of input was
-consumed and all of the output was generated.
-<pre><b>
- /* done when last data in file processed */

-The process is complete, but we still need to deallocate the state to avoid a memory leak
-(or rather more like a memory hemorrhage if you didn't do this). Then
-finally we can return with a happy return value.

-Now we do the same thing for decompression in the <tt>inf()</tt> routine. <tt>inf()</tt>
-decompresses what is hopefully a valid <em>zlib</em> stream from the input file and writes the
-uncompressed data to the output file. Much of the discussion above for <tt>def()</tt>
-applies to <tt>inf()</tt> as well, so the discussion here will focus on the differences between
-the two.

-The local variables have the same functionality as they do for <tt>def()</tt>. The

-The initialization of the state is the same, except that there is no compression level,
-of course, and two more elements of the structure are initialized. <tt>avail_in</tt>
-and <tt>next_in</tt> must be initialized before calling <tt>inflateInit()</tt>. This
-is because the application has the option to provide the start of the zlib stream in
-order for <tt>inflateInit()</tt> to have access to information about the compression
-method to aid in memory allocation. In the current implementation of <em>zlib</em>
-(up through versions 1.2.x), the method-dependent memory allocations are deferred to the first call of
-<tt>inflate()</tt> anyway. However those fields must be initialized since later versions
-of <em>zlib</em> that provide more compression methods may take advantage of this interface.
-In any case, no decompression is performed by <tt>inflateInit()</tt>, so the
-<tt>avail_out</tt> and <tt>next_out</tt> fields do not need to be initialized before calling.

-The outer <tt>do</tt>-loop decompresses input until <tt>inflate()</tt> indicates
-that it has reached the end of the compressed data and has produced all of the uncompressed

-For applications where <em>zlib</em> streams are embedded in other data, this routine would

-indicates that <tt>inflate()</tt> detected an error in the <em>zlib</em> compressed data format,
-which means that either the data is not a <em>zlib</em> stream to begin with, or that the data was
-corrupted somewhere along the way since it was compressed. The other error to be processed is
-<tt>Z_MEM_ERROR</tt>, which can occur since memory allocation is deferred until <tt>inflate()</tt>
