zlib: Compression and decompression in the gzip and zlib formats
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
