NAME

6       zlib-flate - raw zlib compression program
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zlib-flate -compress | -uncompress
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The zlib-flate program is part of the qpdf package.
13
14       The zlib-flate program reads from standard input and writes to standard
15       output either compressing or uncompressing its  input  using  raw  zlib
16       compression.   It can be used to uncompress or compress raw PDF streams
17       or other data that is compressed with raw zlib compression.  This  pro‐
18       gram is provided primarily as a debugging tool, though it could be used
19       for other purposes, such as being called from  a  script  that  creates
20       simple PDF files.
21
22       This  program should not be used as a general purpose compression tool.
23       Use something like gzip(1) instead.
