- instead. windowBits must be greater than or equal to the windowBits value
- provided to deflateInit2() while compressing, or it must be equal to 15 if
- deflateInit2() was not used. If a compressed stream with a larger window
- size is given as input, inflate() will return with the error code
- Z_DATA_ERROR instead of trying to allocate a larger window.
-
- windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw inflate. In this case, -windowBits
- determines the window size. inflate() will then process raw deflate data,
- not looking for a zlib or gzip header, not generating a check value, and not
- looking for any check values for comparison at the end of the stream. This
- is for use with other formats that use the deflate compressed data format
- such as zip. Those formats provide their own check values. If a custom
- format is developed using the raw deflate format for compressed data, it is
- recommended that a check value such as an adler32 or a crc32 be applied to
- the uncompressed data as is done in the zlib, gzip, and zip formats. For
- most applications, the zlib format should be used as is. Note that comments
- above on the use in deflateInit2() applies to the magnitude of windowBits.
-
- windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip decoding. Add
- 32 to windowBits to enable zlib and gzip decoding with automatic header
- detection, or add 16 to decode only the gzip format (the zlib format will
- return a Z_DATA_ERROR). If a gzip stream is being decoded, strm->adler is
- a crc32 instead of an adler32.
-
- inflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
- memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a parameter is invalid (such as a null strm). msg
- is set to null if there is no error message. inflateInit2 does not perform
- any decompression apart from reading the zlib header if present: this will
- be done by inflate(). (So next_in and avail_in may be modified, but next_out
- and avail_out are unchanged.)
