+This directory contains examples of the use of zlib.
+
+fitblk.c
+ compress just enough input to nearly fill a requested output size
+ - zlib isn't designed to do this, but fitblk does it anyway
+
+gun.c
+ uncompress a gzip file
+ - illustrates the use of inflateBack() for high speed file-to-file
+ decompression using call-back functions
+ - is approximately twice as fast as gzip -d
+ - also provides Unix uncompress functionality, again twice as fast
+
+gzappend.c
+ append to a gzip file
+ - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
+ - illustrates the use of deflatePrime() to start at any bit
+
+gzjoin.c
+ join gzip files without recalculating the crc or recompressing
+ - illustrates the use of the Z_BLOCK flush parameter for inflate()
+ - illustrates the use of crc32_combine()
+
+gzlog.c
+gzlog.h
+ efficiently maintain a message log file in gzip format
+ - illustrates use of raw deflate and Z_SYNC_FLUSH
+ - illustrates use of gzip header extra field
+
+zlib_how.html
+ painfully comprehensive description of zpipe.c (see below)
+ - describes in excruciating detail the use of deflate() and inflate()
+
+zpipe.c
+ reads and writes zlib streams from stdin to stdout
+ - illustrates the proper use of deflate() and inflate()
+ - deeply commented in zlib_how.html (see above)
+
+zran.c
+ index a zlib or gzip stream and randomly access it
+ - illustrates the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and
+ inflateSetDictionary() to provide random access
