Zlib: general purpose data compression / decompression library
Version
1.2.3
Description
zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered
-- that is, not covered by any patents -- lossless data-compression
library for use on virtually any computer hardware and operating system.
The zlib data format is itself portable across platforms. Unlike the LZW
compression method used in Unix compress(1) and in the GIF image format,
the compression method currently used in zlib essentially never expands
the data. (LZW can double or triple the file size in extreme cases.)
zlib's memory footprint is also independent of the input data and can be
reduced, if necessary, at some cost in compression.
