zlib: Compression and decompression in the gzip and zlib formats
This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.
This package provides a pure interface for compressing and
decompressing streams of data represented as lazy
ByteStrings. It uses the
zlib C library
so it has high performance. It supports the "zlib",
"gzip" and "raw" compression formats.
It provides a convenient high level API suitable for most tasks and for the few cases where more control is needed it provides access to the full zlib feature set.

Flags
| Name | Description | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| non-blocking-ffi | The (de)compression calls can sometimes take a long time, which prevents other Haskell threads running. Enabling this flag avoids this unfairness, but with greater overall cost. | Disabled | Manual |
| pkg-config | Use | Disabled | Manual |
| bundled-c-zlib | Use the bundled zlib C sources. Requires pkg-config to be False. For windows, this is the default. | Disabled | Manual |
Use -f <flag> to enable a flag, or -f -<flag> to disable that flag. More info
