+     The 'zlib' compression library provides in-memory compression and
+  decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed
+  data.  This version of the library supports only one compression method
+  (deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same
+  stream interface.
+
+     Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large
+  enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by
+  repeated calls of the compression function.  In the latter case, the
+  application must provide more input and/or consume the output
+  (providing more output space) before each call.
+
+     The compressed data format used by the in-memory functions is the zlib
+  format, which is a zlib wrapper documented in RFC 1950, wrapped around a
+  deflate stream, which is itself documented in RFC 1951.
+
+     The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format
+  with an interface similar to that of stdio using the functions that start
+  with "gz".  The gzip format is different from the zlib format.  gzip is a
+  gzip wrapper, documented in RFC 1952, wrapped around a deflate stream.
+
+     The zlib format was designed to be compact and fast for use in memory
+  and on communications channels.  The gzip format was designed for single-
+  file compression on file systems, has a larger header than zlib to maintain
+  directory information, and uses a different, slower check method than zlib.
+
+     This library does not provide any functions to write gzip files in memory.
+  However such functions could be easily written using zlib's deflate function,
+  the documentation in the gzip RFC, and the examples in gzio.c.
+
+     The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks
+  the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never
+  crash even in case of corrupted input.

+    deflate compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
+  buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce some
+  output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
+  forced to flush.
+
+    The detailed semantics are as follows. deflate performs one or both of the
+  following actions:
+
+  - Compress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
+    accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
+    enough room in the output buffer), next_in and avail_in are updated and
+    processing will resume at this point for the next call of deflate().
+
+  - Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
+    accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero.
+    Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter
+    should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications).
+    Some output may be provided even if flush is not set.
+
+  Before the call of deflate(), the application should ensure that at least
+  one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
+  more output, and updating avail_in or avail_out accordingly; avail_out
+  should never be zero before the call. The application can consume the
+  compressed output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full
+  (avail_out == 0), or after each call of deflate(). If deflate returns Z_OK
+  and with zero avail_out, it must be called again after making room in the
+  output buffer because there might be more output pending.
+
+    If the parameter flush is set to Z_SYNC_FLUSH, all pending output is
+  flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so
+  that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In particular
+  avail_in is zero after the call if enough output space has been provided
+  before the call.)  Flushing may degrade compression for some compression
+  algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary.
+
+    If flush is set to Z_FULL_FLUSH, all output is flushed as with
+  Z_SYNC_FLUSH, and the compression state is reset so that decompression can
+  restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if
+  random access is desired. Using Z_FULL_FLUSH too often can seriously degrade
+  the compression.
+
+    If deflate returns with avail_out == 0, this function must be called again
+  with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated
+  avail_out), until the flush is complete (deflate returns with non-zero
+  avail_out). In the case of a Z_FULL_FLUSH or Z_SYNC_FLUSH, make sure that
+  avail_out is greater than six to avoid repeated flush markers due to
+  avail_out == 0 on return.
+
+    If the parameter flush is set to Z_FINISH, pending input is processed,
+  pending output is flushed and deflate returns with Z_STREAM_END if there
+  was enough output space; if deflate returns with Z_OK, this function must be
+  called again with Z_FINISH and more output space (updated avail_out) but no
+  more input data, until it returns with Z_STREAM_END or an error. After
+  deflate has returned Z_STREAM_END, the only possible operations on the
+  stream are deflateReset or deflateEnd.
+
+    Z_FINISH can be used immediately after deflateInit if all the compression
+  is to be done in a single step. In this case, avail_out must be at least
+  the value returned by deflateBound (see below). If deflate does not return
+  Z_STREAM_END, then it must be called again as described above.
+
+    deflate() sets strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all input read
+  so far (that is, total_in bytes).
+
+    deflate() may update data_type if it can make a good guess about
+  the input data type (Z_ASCII or Z_BINARY). In doubt, the data is considered
+  binary. This field is only for information purposes and does not affect
+  the compression algorithm in any manner.
+
+    deflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input
+  processed or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if all input has been
+  consumed and all output has been produced (only when flush is set to
+  Z_FINISH), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream state was inconsistent (for example
+  if next_in or next_out was NULL), Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible

+
+  The detailed semantics are as follows. inflate performs one or both of the
+  following actions:
+
+  - Decompress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
+    accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
+    enough room in the output buffer), next_in is updated and processing
+    will resume at this point for the next call of inflate().
+
+  - Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
+    accordingly.  inflate() provides as much output as possible, until there
+    is no more input data or no more space in the output buffer (see below
+    about the flush parameter).
+
+  Before the call of inflate(), the application should ensure that at least
+  one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
+  more output, and updating the next_* and avail_* values accordingly.
+  The application can consume the uncompressed output when it wants, for
+  example when the output buffer is full (avail_out == 0), or after each
+  call of inflate(). If inflate returns Z_OK and with zero avail_out, it
+  must be called again after making room in the output buffer because there
+  might be more output pending.
+
+    The flush parameter of inflate() can be Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH,
+  Z_FINISH, or Z_BLOCK. Z_SYNC_FLUSH requests that inflate() flush as much
+  output as possible to the output buffer. Z_BLOCK requests that inflate() stop
+  if and when it get to the next deflate block boundary. When decoding the zlib
+  or gzip format, this will cause inflate() to return immediately after the
+  header and before the first block. When doing a raw inflate, inflate() will
+  go ahead and process the first block, and will return when it gets to the end
+  of that block, or when it runs out of data.
+
+    The Z_BLOCK option assists in appending to or combining deflate streams.
+  Also to assist in this, on return inflate() will set strm->data_type to the
+  number of unused bits in the last byte taken from strm->next_in, plus 64
+  if inflate() is currently decoding the last block in the deflate stream,
+  plus 128 if inflate() returned immediately after decoding an end-of-block
+  code or decoding the complete header up to just before the first byte of the
+  deflate stream. The end-of-block will not be indicated until all of the
+  uncompressed data from that block has been written to strm->next_out.  The
+  number of unused bits may in general be greater than seven, except when
+  bit 7 of data_type is set, in which case the number of unused bits will be
+  less than eight.
+
+    inflate() should normally be called until it returns Z_STREAM_END or an
+  error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step
+  (a single call of inflate), the parameter flush should be set to
+  Z_FINISH. In this case all pending input is processed and all pending
+  output is flushed; avail_out must be large enough to hold all the
+  uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data may have been saved
+  by the compressor for this purpose.) The next operation on this stream must
+  be inflateEnd to deallocate the decompression state. The use of Z_FINISH
+  is never required, but can be used to inform inflate that a faster approach
+  may be used for the single inflate() call.
+
+     In this implementation, inflate() always flushes as much output as
+  possible to the output buffer, and always uses the faster approach on the
+  first call. So the only effect of the flush parameter in this implementation
+  is on the return value of inflate(), as noted below, or when it returns early
+  because Z_BLOCK is used.
+
+     If a preset dictionary is needed after this call (see inflateSetDictionary
+  below), inflate sets strm-adler to the adler32 checksum of the dictionary
+  chosen by the compressor and returns Z_NEED_DICT; otherwise it sets
+  strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all output produced so far (that is,
+  total_out bytes) and returns Z_OK, Z_STREAM_END or an error code as described
+  below. At the end of the stream, inflate() checks that its computed adler32
+  checksum is equal to that saved by the compressor and returns Z_STREAM_END
+  only if the checksum is correct.
+
+    inflate() will decompress and check either zlib-wrapped or gzip-wrapped
+  deflate data.  The header type is detected automatically.  Any information
+  contained in the gzip header is not retained, so applications that need that
+  information should instead use raw inflate, see inflateInit2() below, or
+  inflateBack() and perform their own processing of the gzip header and
+  trailer.
+
+    inflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input processed
+  or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if the end of the compressed data has
+  been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, Z_NEED_DICT if a
+  preset dictionary is needed at this point, Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was
+  corrupted (input stream not conforming to the zlib format or incorrect check
+  value), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream structure was inconsistent (for example
+  if next_in or next_out was NULL), Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough memory,
+  Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible or if there was not enough room in the
+  output buffer when Z_FINISH is used. Note that Z_BUF_ERROR is not fatal, and
+  inflate() can be called again with more input and more output space to

+     This is another version of deflateInit with more compression options. The
+   fields next_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by
+   the caller.
+
+     The method parameter is the compression method. It must be Z_DEFLATED in
+   this version of the library.
+
+     The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the window size
+   (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this
+   version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better
+   compression at the expense of memory usage. The default value is 15 if
+   deflateInit is used instead.
+
+     windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw deflate. In this case, -windowBits
+   determines the window size. deflate() will then generate raw deflate data
+   with no zlib header or trailer, and will not compute an adler32 check value.
+
+     windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip encoding. Add
+   16 to windowBits to write a simple gzip header and trailer around the
+   compressed data instead of a zlib wrapper. The gzip header will have no
+   file name, no extra data, no comment, no modification time (set to zero),
+   no header crc, and the operating system will be set to 255 (unknown).
+
+     The memLevel parameter specifies how much memory should be allocated
+   for the internal compression state. memLevel=1 uses minimum memory but
+   is slow and reduces compression ratio; memLevel=9 uses maximum memory
+   for optimal speed. The default value is 8. See zconf.h for total memory
+   usage as a function of windowBits and memLevel.
+
+     The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm. Use the
+   value Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY for normal data, Z_FILTERED for data produced by a
+   filter (or predictor), Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY to force Huffman encoding only (no
+   string match), or Z_RLE to limit match distances to one (run-length
+   encoding). Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a somewhat
+   random distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is tuned to
+   compress them better. The effect of Z_FILTERED is to force more Huffman
+   coding and less string matching; it is somewhat intermediate between
+   Z_DEFAULT and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY. Z_RLE is designed to be almost as fast as
+   Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY, but give better compression for PNG image data. The strategy
+   parameter only affects the compression ratio but not the correctness of the
+   compressed output even if it is not set appropriately.

+   file i/o applications in that it avoids copying between the output and the
+   sliding window by simply making the window itself the output buffer.  This
+   function trusts the application to not change the output buffer passed by
+   the output function, at least until inflateBack() returns.
+
+     inflateBackInit() must be called first to allocate the internal state
+   and to initialize the state with the user-provided window buffer.
+   inflateBack() may then be used multiple times to inflate a complete, raw
+   deflate stream with each call.  inflateBackEnd() is then called to free
+   the allocated state.
+
+     A raw deflate stream is one with no zlib or gzip header or trailer.
+   This routine would normally be used in a utility that reads zip or gzip
+   files and writes out uncompressed files.  The utility would decode the
+   header and process the trailer on its own, hence this routine expects
+   only the raw deflate stream to decompress.  This is different from the
+   normal behavior of inflate(), which expects either a zlib or gzip header and
+   trailer around the deflate stream.
+
+     inflateBack() uses two subroutines supplied by the caller that are then
+   called by inflateBack() for input and output.  inflateBack() calls those
+   routines until it reads a complete deflate stream and writes out all of the
+   uncompressed data, or until it encounters an error.  The function's
+   parameters and return types are defined above in the in_func and out_func
+   typedefs.  inflateBack() will call in(in_desc, &buf) which should return the
+   number of bytes of provided input, and a pointer to that input in buf.  If
+   there is no input available, in() must return zero--buf is ignored in that
+   case--and inflateBack() will return a buffer error.  inflateBack() will call
+   out(out_desc, buf, len) to write the uncompressed data buf[0..len-1].  out()
+   should return zero on success, or non-zero on failure.  If out() returns
+   non-zero, inflateBack() will return with an error.  Neither in() nor out()
+   are permitted to change the contents of the window provided to
+   inflateBackInit(), which is also the buffer that out() uses to write from.
+   The length written by out() will be at most the window size.  Any non-zero
+   amount of input may be provided by in().
+
+     For convenience, inflateBack() can be provided input on the first call by
+   setting strm->next_in and strm->avail_in.  If that input is exhausted, then
+   in() will be called.  Therefore strm->next_in must be initialized before
+   calling inflateBack().  If strm->next_in is Z_NULL, then in() will be called
+   immediately for input.  If strm->next_in is not Z_NULL, then strm->avail_in
+   must also be initialized, and then if strm->avail_in is not zero, input will
+   initially be taken from strm->next_in[0 .. strm->avail_in - 1].
+
+     The in_desc and out_desc parameters of inflateBack() is passed as the
+   first parameter of in() and out() respectively when they are called.  These
+   descriptors can be optionally used to pass any information that the caller-
+   supplied in() and out() functions need to do their job.
+
+     On return, inflateBack() will set strm->next_in and strm->avail_in to
+   pass back any unused input that was provided by the last in() call.  The
+   return values of inflateBack() can be Z_STREAM_END on success, Z_BUF_ERROR
+   if in() or out() returned an error, Z_DATA_ERROR if there was a format
+   error in the deflate stream (in which case strm->msg is set to indicate the
+   nature of the error), or Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream was not properly
+   initialized.  In the case of Z_BUF_ERROR, an input or output error can be
+   distinguished using strm->next_in which will be Z_NULL only if in() returned
+   an error.  If strm->next is not Z_NULL, then the Z_BUF_ERROR was due to
+   out() returning non-zero.  (in() will always be called before out(), so
+   strm->next_in is assured to be defined if out() returns non-zero.)  Note
