XenoAtom.Interop.zlib 1.0.0-alpha.1

XenoAtom.Interop.zlib

This package provides a low-level and modern .NET P/Invoke wrapper around the zlib compression library.

♻️ XenoAtom.Interop

This package is part of the XenoAtom.Interop project.

zlib compression library. For more information, see zlib website.

💻 Usage

After installing the package, you can access the library through the static class XenoAtom.Interop.zlib.

For more information, see the official documentation at https://zlib.net/manual.html.

Example of using this library in C#:

using static XenoAtom.Interop.zlib;

// Compress a buffer
var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello, World!");
var compressedData = new byte[32];
var ret = compress(compressedData, out var compressedSize, data);
if (ret != Z_OK)
{
    // ...
}

// Decompress a buffer
var decompressedData = new byte[32];
ret = uncompress(decompressedData, out var decompressedSize, compressedData);
if (ret != Z_OK)
{
    // ...
}

📦 Compatible Native Binaries

This library does not provide C native binaries but only P/Invoke .NET bindings to zlib 1.3.1-r0.

If the native library is already installed on your system, check the version installed. If you are using this library on Alpine Linux, see the compatible version in the Supported API section below. Other OS might require a different setup.

For convenience, you can install an existing NuGet package (outside of XenoAtom.Interop project) that is providing native binaries. The following packages were tested and are compatible with XenoAtom.Interop.zlib:
