C3 Inflate library (inflate, gzip, zlib)

Implementation of the decompression algorithm for the deflate compressed data format (called 'inflate'). Ported from tinf.

API overview:

// inflate
import tinf::inflate;
fn void? uncompress(char[] dst, char[] src)

// gzip
import tinf::gzip;
fn void? uncompress(char[] dst, char[] src)

// zlib
import tinf::zlib;
fn void? uncompress(char[] dst, char[] src)

Run the unit tests with c3c test from the project root.

Installation

Clone the repository with git clone http://github.com/konimarti/tinf.c3l to the ./lib folder of your C3 project and add the following to project.json:

{
    "dependency-search-paths": [ "lib" ],
    "dependencies": [ "tinf" ]
}

If you didn't clone it into the lib folder, adjust your dependency-search-paths accordingly.

Example: gunzip

Build gunzip: c3c build gunzip

Test it:

$ echo "hello" > zipped
$ gzip zipped
$ build/gunzip < zipped.gz
hello
