The decoder checks -the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never -crash even in case of corrupted input. -.LP -All functions of the compression library are documented in the file -.IR zlib.h. -The distribution source includes examples of use of the library -the files -.I example.c -and -.IR minigzip.c . -.LP -A Java implementation of -.IR zlib -is available in the Java Development Kit 1.1 -.IP -http://www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/api/Package-java.util.zip.html -.LP -A Perl interface to -.IR zlib , -written by Paul Marquess (pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk) -is available at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, -such as: -.IP -ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Compress/Compress-Zlib* -.LP -A Python interface to -.IR zlib -written by A.M.
