//! A DEFLATE-based stream compression/decompression library
//!
//! This library provides support for compression and decompression of
//! DEFLATE-based streams:
//!
//! * the DEFLATE format itself
//! * the zlib format
//! * gzip
//!
//! These three formats are all closely related and largely only differ in their
//! headers/footers. This crate has three types in each submodule for dealing
//! with these three formats.
//!
//! # Implementation
//!
//! In addition to supporting three formats, this crate supports three different
//! backends, controlled through this crate's features:
//!
//! * `default`, or `rust_backend` - this implementation uses the `miniz_oxide`
//!   crate which is a port of `miniz.c` (below) to Rust. This feature does not
//!   require a C compiler and only requires Rust code.
//!
//! * `miniz-sys` - when enabled this feature will enable this crate to instead
//!   use `miniz.c`, distributed with `miniz-sys`, to implement
//!   compression/decompression.
//!
//! * `zlib` - finally, this feature will enable linking against the `libz`
//!   library, typically found on most Linux systems by default. If the library
//!   isn't found to already be on the system it will be compiled from source
//!   (this is a C library).
//!
//! There's various tradeoffs associated with each implementation, but in
//! general you probably won't have to tweak the defaults. The default choice is
//! selected to avoid the need for a C compiler at build time. The `miniz-sys`
//! feature is largely a historical artifact at this point and is unlikely to be
//! needed, and `zlib` is often useful if you're already using `zlib` for other
//! C dependencies. The compression ratios and performance of each of these
//! feature should be roughly comparable, but you'll likely want to run your own
//! tests if you're curious about the performance.
//!
//! # Organization
//!
//! This crate consists mainly of three modules, [`read`], [`write`], and
//! [`bufread`]. Each module contains a number of types used to encode and
//! decode various streams of data.
//!
//! All types in the [`write`] module work on instances of [`Write`][write],
//! whereas all types in the [`read`] module work on instances of
//! [`Read`][read] and [`bufread`] works with [`BufRead`][bufread]. If you
//! are decoding directly from a `&[u8]`, use the [`bufread`] types.
//!
//! ```
//! use flate2::write::GzEncoder;
//! use flate2::Compression;
//! use std::io;
//! use std::io::prelude::*;
//!
//! # fn main() { let _ = run(); }
//! # fn run() -> io::Result<()> {
//! let mut encoder = GzEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::default());
//! encoder.write_all(b"Example")?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//!
//! Other various types are provided at the top-level of the crate for
//! management and dealing with encoders/decoders. Also note that types which
//! operate over a specific trait often implement the mirroring trait as well.
//! For example a `flate2::read::DeflateDecoder<T>` *also* implements the
//! `Write` trait if `T: Write`. That is, the "dual trait" is forwarded directly
//! to the underlying object if available.
//!

//!
//! # Async I/O
//!
//! This crate optionally can support async I/O streams with the [Tokio stack] via
//! the `tokio` feature of this crate:
//!
//! [Tokio stack]: https://tokio.rs/
//!
//! ```toml
//! flate2 = { version = "0.2", features = ["tokio"] }
//! ```
//!
//! All methods are internally capable of working with streams that may return
//! [`ErrorKind::WouldBlock`] when they're not ready to perform the particular
//! operation.
//!
//! [`ErrorKind::WouldBlock`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/enum.ErrorKind.html
//!
//! Note that care needs to be taken when using these objects, however. The
//! Tokio runtime, in particular, requires that data is fully flushed before
//! dropping streams. For compatibility with blocking streams all streams are
//! flushed/written when they are dropped, and this is not always a suitable
//! time to perform I/O. If I/O streams are flushed before drop, however, then
//! these operations will be a noop.
