10Description:
mark13dc2462017-02-14 22:15:29 -080011"A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library."
12
13zlib is a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered lossless data-compression
14library. zlib implements the "deflate" compression algorithm described by RFC
151951, which combines the LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm with Huffman coding. zlib
16also implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and gzip (RFC 1952) wrapper formats.

18Local Modifications:
mark13dc2462017-02-14 22:15:29 -080019 - Only source code from the zlib distribution used to build the zlib and
20 minizip libraries are present. Many other files have been omitted. Only *.c
21 and *.h files from the upstream root directory and contrib/minizip were
22 imported.
23 - The contents of the google directory are original Chromium-specific
24 additions.
Tom Anderson20c7ae12019-04-08 20:51:48 +000025 - Added chromeconf.h
Chris Blumefe572062017-10-31 23:18:18 +000026 - Plus the changes in 'patches' folder.
27 - Code in contrib/ other than contrib/minizip was added to match zlib's
