-.TH ZLIB 3 "28 Apr 2013"\r
-.SH NAME\r
-zlib \- compression/decompression library\r
-.SH SYNOPSIS\r
-[see\r
-.I zlib.h\r
-for full description]\r
-.SH DESCRIPTION\r
-The\r
-.I zlib\r
-library is a general purpose data compression library.\r
-The code is thread safe, assuming that the standard library functions\r
-used are thread safe, such as memory allocation routines.\r
-It provides in-memory compression and decompression functions,\r
-including integrity checks of the uncompressed data.\r
-This version of the library supports only one compression method (deflation)\r
-but other algorithms may be added later\r
-with the same stream interface.\r
-.LP\r
-Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large enough\r
-or can be done by repeated calls of the compression function.\r
-In the latter case,\r
-the application must provide more input and/or consume the output\r
-(providing more output space) before each call.\r
-.LP\r
-The library also supports reading and writing files in\r
-.IR gzip (1)\r
-(.gz) format\r
-with an interface similar to that of stdio.\r
-.LP\r
-The library does not install any signal handler.\r
-The decoder checks the consistency of the compressed data,\r
-so the library should never crash even in the case of corrupted input.\r
-.LP\r
-All functions of the compression library are documented in the file\r
-.IR zlib.h .\r
-The distribution source includes examples of use of the library\r
-in the files\r
-.I test/example.c\r
-and\r
-.IR test/minigzip.c,\r
-as well as other examples in the\r
-.IR examples/\r
-directory.\r
-.LP\r
-Changes to this version are documented in the file\r
