It takes as many of the -<tt>avail_in</tt> bytes at <tt>next_in</tt> as it can process, and writes as many as -<tt>avail_out</tt> bytes to <tt>next_out</tt>. Those counters and pointers are then -updated past the input data consumed and the output data written. It is the amount of -output space available that may limit how much input is consumed. -Hence the inner loop to make sure that -all of the input is consumed by providing more output space each time. Since <tt>avail_in</tt> -and <tt>next_in</tt> are updated by <tt>deflate()</tt>, we don't have to mess with those -between <tt>deflate()</tt> calls until it's all used up. -<p> -The parameters to <tt>deflate()</tt> are a pointer to the <tt>strm</tt> structure containing -the input and output information and the internal compression engine state, and a parameter -indicating whether and how to flush data to the output. Normally <tt>deflate</tt> will consume -several K bytes of input data before producing any output (except for the header), in order -to accumulate statistics on the data for optimum compression. It will then put out a burst of -compressed data, and proceed to consume more input before the next burst. Eventually, -<tt>deflate()</tt> -must be told to terminate the stream, complete the compression with provided input data, and -write out the trailer check value. <tt>deflate()</tt> will continue to compress normally as long -as the flush parameter is <tt>Z_NO_FLUSH</tt>. Once the <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> parameter is provided, -<tt>deflate()</tt> will begin to complete the compressed output stream. However depending on how -much output space is provided, <tt>deflate()</tt> may have to be called several times until it -has provided the complete compressed stream, even after it has consumed all of the input. The flush -parameter must continue to be <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> for those subsequent calls. -<p> -There are other values of the flush parameter that are used in more advanced applications. You can -force <tt>deflate()</tt> to produce a burst of output that encodes all of the input data provided -so far, even if it wouldn't have otherwise, for example to control data latency on a link with -compressed data. You can also ask that <tt>deflate()</tt> do that as well as erase any history up to -that point so that what follows can be decompressed independently, for example for random access -applications. Both requests will degrade compression by an amount depending on how often such -requests are made. -<p> -<tt>deflate()</tt> has a return value that can indicate errors, yet we do not check it here. Why -not? Well, it turns out that <tt>deflate()</tt> can do no wrong here. Let's go through -<tt>deflate()</tt>'s return values and dispense with them one by one. The possible values are -<tt>Z_OK</tt>, <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt>, <tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt>, or <tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt>. <tt>Z_OK</tt> -is, well, ok. <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt> is also ok and will be returned for the last call of -<tt>deflate()</tt>. This is already guaranteed by calling <tt>deflate()</tt> with <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> -until it has no more output. <tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt> is only possible if the stream is not -initialized properly, but we did initialize it properly. There is no harm in checking for -<tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt> here, for example to check for the possibility that some -other part of the application inadvertently clobbered the memory containing the <em>zlib</em> state. -<tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt> will be explained further below, but -suffice it to say that this is simply an indication that <tt>deflate()</tt> could not consume -more input or produce more output. <tt>deflate()</tt> can be called again with more output space -or more available input, which it will be in this code. -<pre><b> - ret = deflate(&strm, flush); /* no bad return value */ - assert(ret != Z_STREAM_ERROR); /* state not clobbered */ -</b></pre> -Now we compute how much output <tt>deflate()</tt> provided on the last call, which is the -difference between how much space was provided before the call, and how much output space -is still available after the call. Then that data, if any, is written to the output file. -We can then reuse the output buffer for the next call of <tt>deflate()</tt>. Again if there -is a file i/o error, we call <tt>deflateEnd()</tt> before returning to avoid a memory leak. -<pre><b> - have = CHUNK - strm.avail_out; - if (fwrite(out, 1, have, dest) != have || ferror(dest)) { - (void)deflateEnd(&strm); - return Z_ERRNO; - } -</b></pre> -The inner <tt>do</tt>-loop is repeated until the last <tt>deflate()</tt> call fails to fill the -provided output buffer. Then we know that <tt>deflate()</tt> has done as much as it can with -the provided input, and that all of that input has been consumed. We can then fall out of this -loop and reuse the input buffer. -<p> -The way we tell that <tt>deflate()</tt> has no more output is by seeing that it did not fill -the output buffer, leaving <tt>avail_out</tt> greater than zero. However suppose that -<tt>deflate()</tt> has no more output, but just so happened to exactly fill the output buffer! -<tt>avail_out</tt> is zero, and we can't tell that <tt>deflate()</tt> has done all it can. -As far as we know, <tt>deflate()</tt> -has more output for us. So we call it again. But now <tt>deflate()</tt> produces no output -at all, and <tt>avail_out</tt> remains unchanged as <tt>CHUNK</tt>. That <tt>deflate()</tt> call -wasn't able to do anything, either consume input or produce output, and so it returns -<tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt>. (See, I told you I'd cover this later.) However this is not a problem at -all. Now we finally have the desired indication that <tt>deflate()</tt> is really done, -and so we drop out of the inner loop to provide more input to <tt>deflate()</tt>. -<p> -With <tt>flush</tt> set to <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>, this final set of <tt>deflate()</tt> calls will -complete the output stream. Once that is done, subsequent calls of <tt>deflate()</tt> would return -<tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt> if the flush parameter is not <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>, and do no more processing -until the state is reinitialized. -<p> -Some applications of <em>zlib</em> have two loops that call <tt>deflate()</tt> -instead of the single inner loop we have here. The first loop would call -without flushing and feed all of the data to <tt>deflate()</tt>. The second loop would call -<tt>deflate()</tt> with no more -data and the <tt>Z_FINISH</tt> parameter to complete the process. As you can see from this -example, that can be avoided by simply keeping track of the current flush state. -<pre><b> - } while (strm.avail_out == 0); - assert(strm.avail_in == 0); /* all input will be used */ -</b></pre><!-- --> -Now we check to see if we have already processed all of the input file. That information was -saved in the <tt>flush</tt> variable, so we see if that was set to <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>. If so, -then we're done and we fall out of the outer loop. We're guaranteed to get <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt> -from the last <tt>deflate()</tt> call, since we ran it until the last chunk of input was -consumed and all of the output was generated. -<pre><b> - /* done when last data in file processed */ - } while (flush != Z_FINISH); - assert(ret == Z_STREAM_END); /* stream will be complete */ -</b></pre><!-- --> -The process is complete, but we still need to deallocate the state to avoid a memory leak -(or rather more like a memory hemorrhage if you didn't do this).

This -is because the application has the option to provide the start of the zlib stream in -order for <tt>inflateInit()</tt> to have access to information about the compression -method to aid in memory allocation. In the current implementation of <em>zlib</em> -(up through versions 1.2.x), the method-dependent memory allocations are deferred to the first call of -<tt>inflate()</tt> anyway. However those fields must be initialized since later versions -of <em>zlib</em> that provide more compression methods may take advantage of this interface. -In any case, no decompression is performed by <tt>inflateInit()</tt>, so the -<tt>avail_out</tt> and <tt>next_out</tt> fields do not need to be initialized before calling. -<p> -Here <tt>avail_in</tt> is set to zero and <tt>next_in</tt> is set to <tt>Z_NULL</tt> to -indicate that no input data is being provided. -<pre><b> - /* allocate inflate state */ - strm.zalloc = Z_NULL; - strm.zfree = Z_NULL; - strm.opaque = Z_NULL; - strm.avail_in = 0; - strm.next_in = Z_NULL; - ret = inflateInit(&strm); - if (ret != Z_OK) - return ret; -</b></pre><!-- --> -The outer <tt>do</tt>-loop decompresses input until <tt>inflate()</tt> indicates -that it has reached the end of the compressed data and has produced all of the uncompressed -output.
