Abstract
This specification defines a lossless compressed data format. The
data can be produced or consumed, even for an arbitrarily long
sequentially presented input data stream, using only an a priori
bounded amount of intermediate storage. The format presently uses
the DEFLATE compression method but can be easily extended to use
other compression methods. It can be implemented readily in a manner
not covered by patents. This specification also defines the ADLER-32
checksum (an extension and improvement of the Fletcher checksum),
used for detection of data corruption, and provides an algorithm for
computing it.

RFC 1950 ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification May 1996
4. Source code
Source code for a C language implementation of a "zlib" compliant
library is available at ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/.
5. Security Considerations
A decoder that fails to check the ADLER32 checksum value may be
subject to undetected data corruption.
