+.TH ZLIB 3 "11 March 2002"
+.SH NAME
+zlib \- compression/decompression library
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+[see
+.I zlib.h
+for full description]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I zlib
+library is a general purpose data compression library.
+The code is thread safe.
+It provides in-memory compression and decompression functions,
+including integrity checks of the uncompressed data.
+This version of the library supports only one compression method (deflation)
+but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same stream interface.
+.LP
+Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large enough
+(for example if an input file is mmap'ed),
+or can be done by repeated calls of the compression function.
+In the latter case,
+the application must provide more input and/or consume the output
+(providing more output space) before each call.
+.LP
+The library also supports reading and writing files in
+.I gzip
+(.gz) format
+with an interface similar to that of stdio.
+.LP
+The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks
+the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never
+crash even in case of corrupted input.
+.LP
+All functions of the compression library are documented in the file
+.IR zlib.h.
+The distribution source includes examples of use of the library
+the files
+.I example.c
+and
+.IR minigzip.c .
+.LP

+.IR zlib
+is available in the Java Development Kit 1.1
