From cbbd20302c6e3fb626bee5bd8b4932524049515c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Adler Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2017 08:22:16 -0800 Subject: Permit immediate deflateParams changes before any deflate input. This permits deflateParams to change the strategy and level right after deflateInit, without having to wait until a header has been written. The parameters can be changed immediately up until the first deflate call that consumes any input data. --- zlib.h | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'zlib.h') diff --git a/zlib.h b/zlib.h index feabc54..a4b3baf 100644 --- a/zlib.h +++ b/zlib.h @@ -712,10 +712,11 @@ ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT deflateParams OF((z_streamp strm, used to switch between compression and straight copy of the input data, or to switch to a different kind of input data requiring a different strategy.
