<H2>Overview</H2>
<P>
The class templates <A HREF="#basic_gzip_compressor"><CODE>basic_gzip_compressor</CODE></A> and <A HREF="#basic_gzip_decompressor"><CODE>basic_gzip_decompressor</CODE></A> perform compression and decompression in the G<SPAN STYLE="font-size:80%">ZIP</SPAN> format (<A CLASS="bib_ref" HREF="../bibliography.html#deutsch3">[Deutsch3]</A>) using Jean-loup Gailly's and Mark Adler's zlib compression library (<A CLASS="bib_ref" HREF="../bibliography.html#gailly">[Gailly]</A>). They are implementation as derived classes of the <A HREF="zlib.html">Zlib Filters</A>. The difference between the G<SPAN STYLE="font-size:80%">ZIP</SPAN> and Z<SPAN STYLE="font-size:80%">LIB</SPAN> formats is that data in the G<SPAN STYLE="font-size:80%">ZIP</SPAN> contains more header information and a different checksum (<A CLASS="bib_ref" HREF="../bibliography.html#deutsch1">[Deutsch1]</A>, <A CLASS="bib_ref" HREF="../bibliography.html#deutsch3">[Deutsch3]</A>).
</P>
<P>
The gzip Filters are <A HREF="../concepts/dual_use_filter.html">DualUseFilters</A> so that they may be used for either input or output. Most commonly, however, the compression Filters will be used for output and the decompression Filters for input.

<P>
The gzip Filters depend on the source file <A CLASS="header" HREF="../../src/zlib.cpp"><CODE>&lt;libs/src/zlib.cpp&gt;</CODE></A>. This source file uses several headers from the zlib library, included with the Iostreams Library distribution in the directory <A CLASS="header" HREF="../../src/zlib"><CODE>&lt;libs/iostreams/src/zlib&gt;</CODE></A>. Code using these Filters must be linked against zlib binaries, which are available on most UNIX systems and which can be obtained for Windows systems <A HREF="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/contrib/index.html">here</A>. Alternatively, binaries can be build from the source code (<A CLASS="bib_ref" HREF="../bibliography.html#gailly">[Gailly]</A>).
