| 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. |
| - google.patch contains changes from the upstream version, mostly related to |
| the build. |
| - Intel SIMD optimisations from https://github.com/jtkukunas/zlib/ have been |
| integrated. These changes are reflected in simd.patch. |
