Description: gzip compress and decompress
The deflation algorithm used by zip and gzip is a variation of LZ77
(Lempel-Ziv 1977, see reference below). It finds duplicated strings in
the input data. The second occurrence of a string is replaced by a
pointer to the previous string, in the form of a pair (distance,
length). Distances are limited to 32K bytes, and lengths are limited
to 258 bytes. When a string does not occur anywhere in the previous
32K bytes, it is emitted as a sequence of literal bytes. (In this
description, string must be taken as an arbitrary sequence of bytes,
and is not restricted to printable characters.)
