| Description: | |
| "A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library." | |
| zlib is a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered lossless data-compression | |
| library. zlib implements the "deflate" compression algorithm described by RFC | |
| 1951, which combines the LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm with Huffman coding. zlib | |
| also implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and gzip (RFC 1952) wrapper formats. | |
| Local Modifications: | |
| - Only source code from the zlib distribution used to build the zlib and | |
| minizip libraries are present. Many other files have been omitted. Only *.c | |
| and *.h files from the upstream root directory and contrib/minizip were | |
| imported. | |
| - The contents of the google directory are original Chromium-specific | |
| additions. | |
| - Added chromeconf.h | |
| - Plus the changes in 'patches' folder. | |
| - Code in contrib/ other than contrib/minizip was added to match zlib's | |
| contributor layout. |
