Project description:
zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered,
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), 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.

Trove categories:
[Development Status ] 5 - Production/Stable
[License ] OSI Approved :: zlib/libpng License
[Operating System ] OS Independent
[Programming Language] C
[Topic ] Software Development :: Libraries, System ::
Archiving :: Compression
