All the code is -thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs -(Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files -http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format), rfc1951 (deflate format) and -rfc1952 (gzip format). - -All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h -(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org). A usage example -of the library is given in the file test/example.c which also tests that -the library is working correctly. Another example is given in the file -test/minigzip.c. The compression library itself is composed of all source -files in the root directory. - -To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at -the top of Makefile.in. In short "./configure; make test", and if that goes -well, "make install" should work for most flavors of Unix. For Windows, use -one of the special makefiles in win32/ or contrib/vstudio/ . For VMS, use -make_vms.com. - -Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>, or to Gilles Vollant -<info@winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version. The zlib home page is -http://zlib.net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to -verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest -version and check whether the problem still exists or not. - -PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html before asking for help. - -Mark Nelson <markn@ieee.org> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 -issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at -http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/ . - -The changes made in version 1.2.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog. - -Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory contrib/ . - -zlib is available in Java using the java.util.zip package, documented at -http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/compression/ . - -A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is available -at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including -http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Zlib/ . - -A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is -available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see -http://docs.python.org/library/zlib.html . - -zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610 . - -An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top -of zlib by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available in the -contrib/minizip directory of zlib. - - -Notes for some targets: - -- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt - -- For 64-bit Irix, deflate.c must be compiled without any optimization. With - -O, one libpng test fails. The test works in 32 bit mode (with the -n32 - compiler flag). The compiler bug has been reported to SGI. - -- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under OSF/1 2.1 it works - when compiled with cc. - -- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc option -std1 is - necessary to get gzprintf working correctly. This is done by configure. - -- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works with - other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler. - -- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS. - -- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/ - - -Acknowledgments: - - The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate and - zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the - people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they - are too numerous to cite here. - -Copyright notice: - - (C) 1995-2013 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler - - This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied - warranty.
