<h2 align="center"> zlib Usage Example </h2>
|
||
|
|
We often get questions about how the <tt>deflate()</tt> and <tt>inflate()</tt> functions should be used.
|
||
|
|
Users wonder when they should provide more input, when they should use more output,
|
||
|
|
what to do with a <tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt>, how to make sure the process terminates properly, and
|
||
|
|
so on. So for those who have read <tt>zlib.h</tt> (a few times), and
|
||
|
|
would like further edification, below is an annotated example in C of simple routines to compress and decompress
|
||
|
|
from an input file to an output file using <tt>deflate()</tt> and <tt>inflate()</tt> respectively. The
|
||
|
|
annotations are interspersed between lines of the code. So please read between the lines.
|
||
|
|
We hope this helps explain some of the intricacies of <em>zlib</em>.

This is an ugly hack required to avoid corruption of the input and output data on
|
||
|
|
Windows/MS-DOS systems. Without this, those systems would assume that the input and output
|
||
|
|
files are text, and try to convert the end-of-line characters from one standard to
|
||
|
|
another. That would corrupt binary data, and in particular would render the compressed data unusable.
|
||
|
|
This sets the input and output to binary which suppresses the end-of-line conversions.
|

<tt>SET_BINARY_MODE()</tt> will be used later on <tt>stdin</tt> and <tt>stdout</tt>, at the beginning of <tt>main()</tt>.

<tt>CHUNK</tt> is simply the buffer size for feeding data to and pulling data
|
||
|
|
from the <em>zlib</em> routines. Larger buffer sizes would be more efficient,
|

|
especially for <tt>inflate()</tt>. If the memory is available, buffers sizes

on the order of 128K or 256K bytes should be used.

The <tt>def()</tt> routine compresses data from an input file to an output file. The output data
|
||
|
|
will be in the <em>zlib</em> format, which is different from the <em>gzip</em> or <em>zip</em>
|
||
|
|
formats. The <em>zlib</em> format has a very small header of only two bytes to identify it as
|
||
|
|
a <em>zlib</em> stream and to provide decoding information, and a four-byte trailer with a fast
|
||
|
|
check value to verify the integrity of the uncompressed data after decoding.

The first thing we do is to initialize the <em>zlib</em> state for compression using
|
||
|
|
<tt>deflateInit()</tt>. This must be done before the first use of <tt>deflate()</tt>.
|
||
|
|
The <tt>zalloc</tt>, <tt>zfree</tt>, and <tt>opaque</tt> fields in the <tt>strm</tt>
|
||
|
|
structure must be initialized before calling <tt>deflateInit()</tt>. Here they are
|
||
|
|
set to the <em>zlib</em> constant <tt>Z_NULL</tt> to request that <em>zlib</em> use
|
||
|
|
the default memory allocation routines. An application may also choose to provide
|
||
|
|
custom memory allocation routines here. <tt>deflateInit()</tt> will allocate on the
|
||
|
|
order of 256K bytes for the internal state.
|
||
|
|
(See <a href="zlib_tech.html"><em>zlib Technical Details</em></a>.)
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<tt>deflateInit()</tt> is called with a pointer to the structure to be initialized and
|
||
|
|
the compression level, which is an integer in the range of -1 to 9. Lower compression
|
||
|
|
levels result in faster execution, but less compression. Higher levels result in
|
||
|
|
greater compression, but slower execution. The <em>zlib</em> constant Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION,
|
||
|
|
equal to -1,
|
||
|
|
provides a good compromise between compression and speed and is equivalent to level 6.
|
||
|
|
Level 0 actually does no compression at all, and in fact expands the data slightly to produce
|
||
|
|
the <em>zlib</em> format (it is not a byte-for-byte copy of the input).
|
||
|
|
More advanced applications of <em>zlib</em>
|
||
|
|
may use <tt>deflateInit2()</tt> here instead. Such an application may want to reduce how
|
||
|
|
much memory will be used, at some price in compression. Or it may need to request a
|
||
|
|
<em>gzip</em> header and trailer instead of a <em>zlib</em> header and trailer, or raw
|
||
|
|
encoding with no header or trailer at all.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
We must check the return value of <tt>deflateInit()</tt> against the <em>zlib</em> constant
|
||
|
|
<tt>Z_OK</tt> to make sure that it was able to
|
||
|
|
allocate memory for the internal state, and that the provided arguments were valid.
|
||
|
|
<tt>deflateInit()</tt> will also check that the version of <em>zlib</em> that the <tt>zlib.h</tt>
|
||
|
|
file came from matches the version of <em>zlib</em> actually linked with the program. This
|
||
|
|
is especially important for environments in which <em>zlib</em> is a shared library.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Note that an application can initialize multiple, independent <em>zlib</em> streams, which can
|
||
|
|
operate in parallel. The state information maintained in the structure allows the <em>zlib</em>
|
||
|
|
routines to be reentrant.

With the pleasantries out of the way, now we can get down to business. The outer <tt>do</tt>-loop
|
||
|
|
reads all of the input file and exits at the bottom of the loop once end-of-file is reached.
|
||
|
|
This loop contains the only call of <tt>deflate()</tt>. So we must make sure that all of the
|
||
|
|
input data has been processed and that all of the output data has been generated and consumed
|
||
|
|
before we fall out of the loop at the bottom.
|
||
|

<pre><b>

/* compress until end of file */

|

do {
|

</b></pre>
|
||
|
|
We start off by reading data from the input file. The number of bytes read is put directly
|
||
|
|
into <tt>avail_in</tt>, and a pointer to those bytes is put into <tt>next_in</tt>. We also
|
||
|
|
check to see if end-of-file on the input has been reached. If we are at the end of file, then <tt>flush</tt> is set to the
|
||
|
|
<em>zlib</em> constant <tt>Z_FINISH</tt>, which is later passed to <tt>deflate()</tt> to
|
||
|
|
indicate that this is the last chunk of input data to compress. We need to use <tt>feof()</tt>
|
||
|
|
to check for end-of-file as opposed to seeing if fewer than <tt>CHUNK</tt> bytes have been read. The
|
||
|
|
reason is that if the input file length is an exact multiple of <tt>CHUNK</tt>, we will miss
|
||
|
|
the fact that we got to the end-of-file, and not know to tell <tt>deflate()</tt> to finish
|
||
|
|
up the compressed stream. If we are not yet at the end of the input, then the <em>zlib</em>
|
||
|
|
constant <tt>Z_NO_FLUSH</tt> will be passed to <tt>deflate</tt> to indicate that we are still
|
||
|
|
in the middle of the uncompressed data.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If there is an error in reading from the input file, the process is aborted with
|
||
|
|
<tt>deflateEnd()</tt> being called to free the allocated <em>zlib</em> state before returning
|
||
|
|
the error. We wouldn't want a memory leak, now would we? <tt>deflateEnd()</tt> can be called
|
||
|
|
at any time after the state has been initialized. Once that's done, <tt>deflateInit()</tt> (or
|
||
|
|
<tt>deflateInit2()</tt>) would have to be called to start a new compression process. There is
|
||
|
|
no point here in checking the <tt>deflateEnd()</tt> return code. The deallocation can't fail.
|
||
|
|
<pre><b>

The inner <tt>do</tt>-loop passes our chunk of input data to <tt>deflate()</tt>, and then
|
||
|
|
keeps calling <tt>deflate()</tt> until it is done producing output. Once there is no more
|
||
|
|
new output, <tt>deflate()</tt> is guaranteed to have consumed all of the input, i.e.,
|
||
|
|
<tt>avail_in</tt> will be zero.
|
||
|
|
<pre><b>
|
||
|
|
/* run deflate() on input until output buffer not full, finish

do {

</b></pre>
|
||
|
|
Output space is provided to <tt>deflate()</tt> by setting <tt>avail_out</tt> to the number
|
||
|
|
of available output bytes and <tt>next_out</tt> to a pointer to that space.
|
||
|
|
<pre><b>
|
||
|
|
strm.avail_out = CHUNK;
|
||
|
|
strm.next_out = out;
|
||
|

</b></pre>
|
||
|
|
Now we call the compression engine itself, <tt>deflate()</tt>. 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;

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 */

||
|
|
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). Then
|
||
|
|
finally we can return with a happy return value.
|
||
|

|

Now we do the same thing for decompression in the <tt>inf()</tt> routine. <tt>inf()</tt>
|
||
|
|
decompresses what is hopefully a valid <em>zlib</em> stream from the input file and writes the
|
||
|
|
uncompressed data to the output file. Much of the discussion above for <tt>def()</tt>
|
||
|
|
applies to <tt>inf()</tt> as well, so the discussion here will focus on the differences between
|
||
|
|
the two.
|

|
|
<pre><b>

inf() returns Z_OK on success, Z_MEM_ERROR if memory could not be
|
||
|
|
allocated for processing, Z_DATA_ERROR if the deflate data is
|
||
|
|
invalid or incomplete, Z_VERSION_ERROR if the version of zlib.h and
|
||
|
|
the version of the library linked do not match, or Z_ERRNO if there
|
||
|
|
is an error reading or writing the files. */
|

|
|
int inf(FILE *source, FILE *dest)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
</b></pre>
|
||
|
|
The local variables have the same functionality as they do for <tt>def()</tt>. The
|
||
|
|
only difference is that there is no <tt>flush</tt> variable, since <tt>inflate()</tt>
|
||
|
|
can tell from the <em>zlib</em> stream itself when the stream is complete.
|
||
|
|
<pre><b>
|

int ret;

unsigned char in[CHUNK];
|
||
|
|
unsigned char out[CHUNK];

</b></pre><!-- -->
|
||
|
|
The initialization of the state is the same, except that there is no compression level,
|
||
|
|
of course, and two more elements of the structure are initialized. <tt>avail_in</tt>
|
||
|
|
and <tt>next_in</tt> must be initialized before calling <tt>inflateInit()</tt>. 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.

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. This is in contrast to <tt>def()</tt> which processes all of the input file.
|
||
|
|
If end-of-file is reached before the compressed data self-terminates, then the compressed
|
||
|
|
data is incomplete and an error is returned.
|

|

<pre><b>

do {

We read input data and set the <tt>strm</tt> structure accordingly. If we've reached the
|

|
|
end of the input file, then we leave the outer loop and report an error, since the
|
||
|
|
compressed data is incomplete. Note that we may read more data than is eventually consumed
|
||
|
|
by <tt>inflate()</tt>, if the input file continues past the <em>zlib</em> stream.
|
||
|
|
For applications where <em>zlib</em> streams are embedded in other data, this routine would
|
||
|
|
need to be modified to return the unused data, or at least indicate how much of the input
|
||
|
|
data was not used, so the application would know where to pick up after the <em>zlib</em> stream.

The inner <tt>do</tt>-loop has the same function it did in <tt>def()</tt>, which is to

Now we run the decompression engine itself. There is no need to adjust the flush parameter, since
|
||
|
|
the <em>zlib</em> format is self-terminating. The main difference here is that there are
|
||
|
|
return values that we need to pay attention to. <tt>Z_DATA_ERROR</tt>
|
||
|
|
indicates that <tt>inflate()</tt> detected an error in the <em>zlib</em> compressed data format,
|
||
|
|
which means that either the data is not a <em>zlib</em> stream to begin with, or that the data was
|
||
|
|
corrupted somewhere along the way since it was compressed. The other error to be processed is
|
||
|
|
<tt>Z_MEM_ERROR</tt>, which can occur since memory allocation is deferred until <tt>inflate()</tt>
|
||
|
|
needs it, unlike <tt>deflate()</tt>, whose memory is allocated at the start by <tt>deflateInit()</tt>.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Advanced applications may use
|
||
|
|
<tt>deflateSetDictionary()</tt> to prime <tt>deflate()</tt> with a set of likely data to improve the
|
||
|
|
first 32K or so of compression. This is noted in the <em>zlib</em> header, so <tt>inflate()</tt>
|
||
|
|
requests that that dictionary be provided before it can start to decompress. Without the dictionary,
|
||
|
|
correct decompression is not possible. For this routine, we have no idea what the dictionary is,
|
||
|
|
so the <tt>Z_NEED_DICT</tt> indication is converted to a <tt>Z_DATA_ERROR</tt>.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<tt>inflate()</tt> can also return <tt>Z_STREAM_ERROR</tt>, which should not be possible here,
|
||
|
|
but could be checked for as noted above for <tt>def()</tt>. <tt>Z_BUF_ERROR</tt> does not need to be
|
||
|
|
checked for here, for the same reasons noted for <tt>def()</tt>. <tt>Z_STREAM_END</tt> will be

checked for later.
