All the code is +thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs +(Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files +http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format) +and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). + +All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h +(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org). Two compiled +examples are distributed in this package, example and minigzip. The example_d +and minigzip_d flavors validate that the zlib1.dll file is working correctly. + +Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>. The zlib home page +is http://zlib.net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to +verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest +version and check whether the problem still exists or not. + +PLEASE read DLL_FAQ.txt, and the the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html +before asking for help. + + +Manifest: + +The package zlib-1.2.11-win32-x86.zip will contain the following files: + + README-WIN32.txt This document + ChangeLog Changes since previous zlib packages + DLL_FAQ.txt Frequently asked questions about zlib1.dll + zlib.3.pdf Documentation of this library in Adobe Acrobat format + + example.exe A statically-bound example (using zlib.lib, not the dll) + example.pdb Symbolic information for debugging example.exe + + example_d.exe A zlib1.dll bound example (using zdll.lib) + example_d.pdb Symbolic information for debugging example_d.exe + + minigzip.exe A statically-bound test program (using zlib.lib, not the dll) + minigzip.pdb Symbolic information for debugging minigzip.exe + + minigzip_d.exe A zlib1.dll bound test program (using zdll.lib) + minigzip_d.pdb Symbolic information for debugging minigzip_d.exe + + zlib.h Install these files into the compilers' INCLUDE path to + zconf.h compile programs which use zlib.lib or zdll.lib + + zdll.lib Install these files into the compilers' LIB path if linking + zdll.exp a compiled program to the zlib1.dll binary + + zlib.lib Install these files into the compilers' LIB path to link zlib + zlib.pdb into compiled programs, without zlib1.dll runtime dependency + (zlib.pdb provides debugging info to the compile time linker) + + zlib1.dll Install this binary shared library into the system PATH, or + the program's runtime directory (where the .exe resides) + zlib1.pdb Install in the same directory as zlib1.dll, in order to debug + an application crash using WinDbg or similar tools. + +All .pdb files above are entirely optional, but are very useful to a developer +attempting to diagnose program misbehavior or a crash. Many additional +important files for developers can be found in the zlib127.zip source package +available from http://zlib.net/ - review that package's README file for details. + + +Acknowledgments: + +The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate and +zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the +people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they +are too numerous to cite here. + + +Copyright notice: + + (C) 1995-2017 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler + + This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied + warranty.
