| # libz-ng-sys |
| |
| A library for linking zlib-ng (`libz-ng`) to Rust programs natively, rather |
| than in zlib-compat mode. |
| |
| zlib-ng is a high-performance implementation of zlib. zlib-ng supports building |
| in two modes: zlib-compat mode, in whih it provides the same API as zlib and |
| generally works as a drop-in replacement, and native mode, in which it provides |
| its own API. The native API is almost identical to the zlib-compat API, except |
| that some types use more correct sizes (rather than the sizes required for zlib |
| compatibility), and the functions all have a `zng_` prefix. The latter allows |
| zlib and zlib-ng to coexist in the same program. |
| |
| This crate provides bindings to the native zlib-ng API. However, for simplicity |
| of porting, this crate exports the same API as libz-sys (without the `zng_` |
| prefixes), making it easier to write Rust software compatible with both |
| libz-sys and libz-ng-sys. |
| |
| # High-level API |
| |
| This crate provides bindings to the raw low-level C API. For a higher-level |
| safe API to work with DEFLATE, zlib, or gzip streams, see |
| [`flate2`](https://docs.rs/flate2). `flate2` supports many different |
| implementations. |
