`deflate.ss`: Deflating (Compressing) Data

To load: `(require (lib "deflate.ss"))`

`(gzip``` `in-filename``` [`out-filename`]`)` P R O C E D U R E

Compresses data to the same format as the GNU `gzip` utility, writing the compressed data directly to a file. The `in-filename` argument is the name of the file to compress. The default output file name is `in-filename` with `.gz` appended. If the file named by `out-filename` exists, it will be overwritten. The return value is void.

`(gzip-through-ports``` `in out orig-filename timestamp``)` P R O C E D U R E

Reads the port `in` for data and compresses it to `out`, outputting the same format as the GNU `gzip` utility. The `orig-filename` string is embedded in this output; `orig-filename` can be `#f` to omit the filename from the compressed stream. The `timestamp` number is also embedded in the output stream, as the modification date of the original file (in Unix seconds, as `file-or-directory-modify-seconds` would report under Unix). The return value is void.

`(deflate``` `in out``)` P R O C E D U R E

Writes `pkzip`-format ``deflated'' data to the port `out`, compressing data from the port `in`. The data in a file created by `gzip` uses this format (preceded with some header information).

The result is three values: the number of bytes read from `in`, the number of bytes written to `out`, and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value for the input.
