10All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h
11(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org). A usage example
12of the library is given in the file example.c which also tests that the library
13is working correctly. Another example is given in the file minigzip.c. The
14compression library itself is composed of all source files except example.c and
