-These classes provide a C++ stream interface to the zlib library. It allows you
-to do things like:
-
- gzofstream outf("blah.gz");
- outf << "These go into the gzip file " << 123 << endl;
-
-It does this by deriving a specialized stream buffer for gzipped files, which is
-the way Stroustrup would have done it. :->
-
-The gzifstream and gzofstream classes were originally written by Kevin Ruland
-and made available in the zlib contrib/iostream directory. The older version still
-compiles under gcc 2.xx, but not under gcc 3.xx, which sparked the development of
-this version.
-
-The new classes are as standard-compliant as possible, closely following the
-approach of the standard library's fstream classes. It compiles under gcc versions
-3.2 and 3.3, but not under gcc 2.xx. This is mainly due to changes in the standard
-library naming scheme. The new version of gzifstream/gzofstream/gzfilebuf differs
-from the previous one in the following respects:
-- added showmanyc
-- added setbuf, with support for unbuffered output via setbuf(0,0)
-- a few bug fixes of stream behavior
-- gzipped output file opened with default compression level instead of maximum level
-- setcompressionlevel()/strategy() members replaced by single setcompression()
-
-The code is provided "as is", with the permission to use, copy, modify, distribute
-and sell it for any purpose without fee.
