Zlib: general purpose data compression / decompressionlibrary

Version

1.2.3

Description

zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legallyunencumbered -- that is, not covered by any patents -- losslessdata-compression library for use on virtually any computer hardwareand operating system. The zlib data format is itself portableacross platforms. Unlike the LZW compression method used in Unixcompress(1) and in the GIF image format, the compression methodcurrently used in zlib essentially never expands the data.(LZW can double or triple the file size in extreme cases.) zlib'smemory footprint is also independent of the input data and can bereduced, if necessary, at some cost in compression.
