zlib 1.1.3 is a general purpose data compression library. 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 ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format) and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). These documents are also available in other formats from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h (volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact jloup@gzip.org). A usage example of the library is given in the file example.c which also tests that the library is working correctly. Another example is given in the file minigzip.c. The compression library itself is composed of all source files except example.c and minigzip.c. To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at the top of Makefile. In short "make test; make install" should work for most machines. For Unix: "configure; make test; make install" For MSDOS, use one of the special makefiles such as Makefile.msc. For VMS, use Make_vms.com or descrip.mms. Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@quest.jpl.nasa.gov>, or to Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version. The zlib home page is http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ The official zlib ftp site is ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ Before reporting a problem, please check those sites to verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest version and check whether the problem still exists or not. Mark Nelson <markn@tiny.com> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available in http://web2.airmail.net/markn/articles/zlibtool/zlibtool.htm The changes made in version 1.1.3 are documented in the file ChangeLog. The main changes since 1.1.2 are: - fix "an inflate input buffer bug that shows up on rare but persistent occasions" (Mark) - fix gzread and gztell for concatenated .gz files (Didier Le Botlan) - fix gzseek(..., SEEK_SET) in write mode - fix crc check after a gzeek (Frank Faubert) - fix miniunzip when the last entry in a zip file is itself a zip file (J Lillge) - add contrib/asm586 and contrib/asm686 (Brian Raiter) See http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html - add support for Delphi 3 in contrib/delphi (Bob Dellaca) - add support for C++Builder 3 and Delphi 3 in contrib/delphi2 (Davide Moretti) - do not exit prematurely in untgz if 0 at start of block (Magnus Holmgren) - use macro EXTERN instead of extern to support DLL for BeOS (Sander Stoks) - added a FAQ file plus many changes for portability. Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib". A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit 1.1 http://www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/api/Package-java.util.zip.html See the zlib home page http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ for details. A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk> is in the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, such as: ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Compress/Compress-Zlib* A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> is available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-zlib.html A zlib binding for TCL written by Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> is availlable at http://www.westend.com/~kupries/doc/trf/man/man.html An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top of zlib by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available at http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html and also in the contrib/minizip directory of zlib. Notes for some targets: - To build a Windows DLL version, include in a DLL project zlib.def, zlib.rc and all .c files except example.c and minigzip.c; compile with -DZLIB_DLL The zlib DLL support was initially done by Alessandro Iacopetti and is now maintained by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>. Check the zlib DLL home page at http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll From Visual Basic, you can call the DLL functions which do not take a structure as argument: compress, uncompress and all gz* functions. See contrib/visual-basic.txt for more information, or get http://www.tcfb.com/dowseware/cmp-z-it.zip - 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, BEOS and by some Mac compilers. - For Turbo C the small model is supported only with reduced performance to avoid any far allocation; it was tested with -DMAX_WBITS=11 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=3 - For PalmOs, see http://www.cs.uit.no/~perm/PASTA/pilot/software.html Per Harald Myrvang <perm@stud.cs.uit.no> 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.
