April 15, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

This is a trivial wrapper around the miniz_oxide library that compresses data to stdout using the DEFLATE algorithm. The output of this program is suitable for inflating in bldb, nanobl-rs or phbl.

Usage

pinprick [file] > output

If file is specified, data to be compressed will be read from the named file, otherwise, standard input is read to EOF. The program writes to standard output unconditionally.

Colophon

It takes but a pinprick to deflate a balloon.
