DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing compressed data to files or buffer as
       defined in RFC 1950.

       For reading RFC 1950 files/buffers, see the companion module IO::Uncompress::Inflate.

Functional Interface
       A top-level function, "deflate", is provided to carry out "one-shot" compression between buffers
       and/or files. For finer control over the compression process, see the "OO Interface" section.

           use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;

           deflate $input => $output [,OPTS]
               or die "deflate failed: $DeflateError\n";

       The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.

   deflate $input => $output [, OPTS]
       "deflate" expects at least two parameters, $input and $output.

       The $input parameter

       The parameter, $input, is used to define the source of the uncompressed data.

       It can take one of the following forms:

       A filename
            If the $input parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be
            opened for reading and the input data will be read from it.

       A filehandle
            If the $input parameter is a filehandle, the input data will be read from it.  The string '-'
            can be used as an alias for standard input.

       A scalar reference
            If $input is a scalar reference, the input data will be read from $$input.

       An array reference
            If $input is an array reference, each element in the array must be a filename.

            The input data will be read from each file in turn.

            The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only contains valid filenames before any
            data is compressed.

       An Input FileGlob string
            If $input is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">" "deflate" will assume that
            it is an input fileglob string. The input is the list of files that match the fileglob.

            See File::GlobMapper for more details.

       If the $input parameter is any other type, "undef" will be returned.

       The $output parameter

       The parameter $output is used to control the destination of the compressed data. This parameter can
       take one of these forms.

       A filename
            If the $output parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a filename.  This file will be
            opened for writing and the compressed data will be written to it.

       A filehandle
            If the $output parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be written to it.  The string
            '-' can be used as an alias for standard output.

       A scalar reference
            If $output is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored in $$output.

       An Array Reference
            If $output is an array reference, the compressed data will be pushed onto the array.

       An Output FileGlob
            If $output is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">" "deflate" will assume
            that it is an output fileglob string. The output is the list of files that match the fileglob.

            When $output is an fileglob string, $input must also be a fileglob string. Anything else is an
            error.

            See File::GlobMapper for more details.

       If the $output parameter is any other type, "undef" will be returned.

   Notes
       When $input maps to multiple files/buffers and $output is a single file/buffer the input
       files/buffers will be stored in $output as a concatenated series of compressed data streams.

   Optional Parameters
       Unless specified below, the optional parameters for "deflate", "OPTS", are the same as those used
       with the OO interface defined in the "Constructor Options" section below.

       "AutoClose => 0|1"
            This option applies to any input or output data streams to "deflate" that are filehandles.

            If "AutoClose" is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all input and/or output
            filehandles being closed once "deflate" has completed.

            This parameter defaults to 0.

       "BinModeIn => 0|1"
            When reading from a file or filehandle, set "binmode" before reading.

            Defaults to 0.

       "Append => 0|1"
            The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data stream.

            •    A Buffer

                 If "Append" is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of the output buffer.
                 Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any compressed data is written to it.

            •    A Filename

                 If "Append" is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise the contents of
                 the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed data is written to it.

            •    A Filehandle

                 If "Append" is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of the file via a call
                 to "seek" before any compressed data is written to it.  Otherwise the file pointer will not
                 be moved.

            When "Append" is specified, and set to true, it will append all compressed data to the output
            data stream.

            So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof before writing any
            compressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for appending. If the output is
            a buffer, all compressed data will be appended to the existing buffer.

            Conversely when "Append" is not specified, or it is present and is set to false, it will operate
            as follows.

            When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file before writing any
            compressed data. If the output is a filehandle its position will not be changed. If the output
            is a buffer, it will be wiped before any compressed data is output.

            Defaults to 0.

   Examples
       To read the contents of the file "file1.txt" and write the compressed data to the file
       "file1.txt.1950".

           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;

           my $input = "file1.txt";
           deflate $input => "$input.1950"
               or die "deflate failed: $DeflateError\n";

       To read from an existing Perl filehandle, $input, and write the compressed data to a buffer, $buffer.

           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;
           use IO::File ;

           my $input = new IO::File "<file1.txt"
               or die "Cannot open 'file1.txt': $!\n" ;
           my $buffer ;
           deflate $input => \$buffer
               or die "deflate failed: $DeflateError\n";

       To compress all files in the directory "/my/home" that match "*.txt" and store the compressed data in
       the same directory

           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;

           deflate '</my/home/*.txt>' => '<*.1950>'
               or die "deflate failed: $DeflateError\n";

       and if you want to compress each file one at a time, this will do the trick

           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;

           for my $input ( glob "/my/home/*.txt" )
           {
               my $output = "$input.1950" ;
               deflate $input => $output
                   or die "Error compressing '$input': $DeflateError\n";
           }

OO Interface
   Constructor
       The format of the constructor for "IO::Compress::Deflate" is shown below

           my $z = new IO::Compress::Deflate $output [,OPTS]
               or die "IO::Compress::Deflate failed: $DeflateError\n";

       It returns an "IO::Compress::Deflate" object on success and undef on failure.  The variable
       $DeflateError will contain an error message on failure.

       If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, $z, returned from IO::Compress::Deflate can be
       used exactly like an IO::File filehandle.  This means that all normal output file operations can be
       carried out with $z.  For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer you can use either of these
       forms

           $z->print("hello world\n");
           print $z "hello world\n";

       The mandatory parameter $output is used to control the destination of the compressed data. This
       parameter can take one of these forms.

       A filename
            If the $output parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be
            opened for writing and the compressed data will be written to it.

       A filehandle
            If the $output parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be written to it.  The string
            '-' can be used as an alias for standard output.

       A scalar reference
            If $output is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored in $$output.

       If the $output parameter is any other type, "IO::Compress::Deflate"::new will return undef.

   Constructor Options
       "OPTS" is any combination of the following options:

       "AutoClose => 0|1"
            This option is only valid when the $output parameter is a filehandle. If specified, and the
            value is true, it will result in the $output being closed once either the "close" method is
            called or the "IO::Compress::Deflate" object is destroyed.

            This parameter defaults to 0.

       "Append => 0|1"
            Opens $output in append mode.

            The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of $output.

            •    A Buffer

                 If $output is a buffer and "Append" is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the
                 end of $output. Otherwise $output will be cleared before any data is written to it.

            •    A Filename

                 If $output is a filename and "Append" is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode.
                 Otherwise the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed data is
                 written to it.

            •    A Filehandle

                 If $output is a filehandle, the file pointer will be positioned to the end of the file via
                 a call to "seek" before any compressed data is written to it.  Otherwise the file pointer
                 will not be moved.

            This parameter defaults to 0.

       "Merge => 0|1"
            This option is used to compress input data and append it to an existing compressed data stream
            in $output. The end result is a single compressed data stream stored in $output.

            It is a fatal error to attempt to use this option when $output is not an RFC 1950 data stream.

            There are a number of other limitations with the "Merge" option:

            1.   This module needs to have been built with zlib 1.2.1 or better to work. A fatal error will
                 be thrown if "Merge" is used with an older version of zlib.

            2.   If $output is a file or a filehandle, it must be seekable.

            This parameter defaults to 0.

       -Level
            Defines the compression level used by zlib. The value should either be a number between 0 and 9
            (0 means no compression and 9 is maximum compression), or one of the symbolic constants defined
            below.

               Z_NO_COMPRESSION
               Z_BEST_SPEED
               Z_BEST_COMPRESSION
               Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION

            The default is Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.

            Note, these constants are not imported by "IO::Compress::Deflate" by default.

                use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(:strategy);
                use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(:constants);
                use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(:all);

       -Strategy
            Defines the strategy used to tune the compression. Use one of the symbolic constants defined
            below.

               Z_FILTERED
               Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
               Z_RLE
               Z_FIXED
               Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY

            The default is Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY.

       "Strict => 0|1"
            This is a placeholder option.

Methods
   print
       Usage is

           $z->print($data)
           print $z $data

       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter. This has the same behaviour as the
       "print" built-in.

       Returns true if successful.

   printf
       Usage is

           $z->printf($format, $data)
           printf $z $format, $data

       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.

       Returns true if successful.

   syswrite
       Usage is

           $z->syswrite $data
           $z->syswrite $data, $length
           $z->syswrite $data, $length, $offset

       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.

       Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or "undef" if unsuccessful.

   write
       Usage is

           $z->write $data
           $z->write $data, $length
           $z->write $data, $length, $offset

       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.

       Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or "undef" if unsuccessful.

   flush
       Usage is

           $z->flush;
           $z->flush($flush_type);

       Flushes any pending compressed data to the output file/buffer.

       This method takes an optional parameter, $flush_type, that controls how the flushing will be carried
       out. By default the $flush_type used is "Z_FINISH". Other valid values for $flush_type are
       "Z_NO_FLUSH", "Z_SYNC_FLUSH", "Z_FULL_FLUSH" and "Z_BLOCK". It is strongly recommended that you only
       set the "flush_type" parameter if you fully understand the implications of what it does - overuse of
       "flush" can seriously degrade the level of compression achieved. See the "zlib" documentation for
       details.

       Returns true on success.

   tell
       Usage is

           $z->tell()
           tell $z

       Returns the uncompressed file offset.

   eof
       Usage is

           $z->eof();
           eof($z);

       Returns true if the "close" method has been called.

   seek
           $z->seek($position, $whence);
           seek($z, $position, $whence);

       Provides a sub-set of the "seek" functionality, with the restriction that it is only legal to seek
       forward in the output file/buffer.  It is a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.

       Empty parts of the file/buffer will have NULL (0x00) bytes written to them.

       The $whence parameter takes one the usual values, namely SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END.

       Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

   binmode
       Usage is

           $z->binmode
           binmode $z ;

       This is a noop provided for completeness.

   opened
           $z->opened()

       Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer.

   autoflush
           my $prev = $z->autoflush()
           my $prev = $z->autoflush(EXPR)

       If the $z object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method returns the current autoflush
       setting for the underlying filehandle. If "EXPR" is present, and is non-zero, it will enable flushing
       after every write/print operation.

       If $z is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always returns "undef".

       Note that the special variable $| cannot be used to set or retrieve the autoflush setting.

   input_line_number
           $z->input_line_number()
           $z->input_line_number(EXPR)

       This method always returns "undef" when compressing.

   fileno
           $z->fileno()
           fileno($z)

       If the $z object is associated with a file or a filehandle, "fileno" will return the underlying file
       descriptor. Once the "close" method is called "fileno" will return "undef".

       If the $z object is associated with a buffer, this method will return "undef".

   close
           $z->close() ;
           close $z ;

       Flushes any pending compressed data and then closes the output file/buffer.

       For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if the IO::Compress::Deflate
       object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the variable with the reference to the object going out
       of scope). The exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In these cases, the
       "close" method will be called automatically, but not until global destruction of all live objects
       when the program is terminating.

       Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions of Perl, you should call
       "close" explicitly and not rely on automatic closing.

       Returns true on success, otherwise 0.

       If the "AutoClose" option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::Deflate object was created, and the
       object is associated with a file, the underlying file will also be closed.

   newStream([OPTS])
       Usage is

           $z->newStream( [OPTS] )

       Closes the current compressed data stream and starts a new one.

       OPTS consists of any of the the options that are available when creating the $z object.

       See the "Constructor Options" section for more details.

   deflateParams
       Usage is

           $z->deflateParams
