|Documentation note=The data format used by the zlib library is described by the following RFCs:

*[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 RFC 1950] (zlib format)

*[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1951 RFC 1951] (deflate format)
 +
*[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952 RFC 1952] (gzip format)
 +
 +
All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h. A usage example of the library is given in the file test/example.c which also tests that the library is working correctly.  Another example is given in the file test/minigzip.c.  The compression library itself is composed of all source files in the root directory.

 +
To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at the top of Makefile.in.  In short "./configure; make test", and if that goes well, "make install" works for GNU and BSD systems.
