Compresses data given the compression context, input buffer, output buffer, compression level, and compression operation.

Syntax

HRESULT WINAPI Compress2(
   IN OUT PVOID context,
   IN CONST BYTE* input_buffer,
   IN LONG input_buffer_size,
   IN PBYTE output_buffer,
   IN LONG output_buffer_size,
   OUT PLONG input_used,
   OUT PLONG output_used,
   IN INT compression_level,
   IN INT operation
);

Parameters

context [IN][OUT] Pointer to the new compression context.

input_buffer [IN] Pointer to the input buffer.

input_buffer_size [IN] The size of the input buffer.

output_buffer [IN] Pointer to the output buffer.

output_buffer_size [IN] Size of the output buffer.

input_used [IN] Amount of input buffer used.

output_used [OUT] Amount of output buffer used.

compression_level [IN] Compression level.

operation [IN] Compression operation. It can be one of the following values:

Identifier Value Description
IIS_COMPRESSION_OPERATION_PROCESS 0 Process input data. The encoder may choose to buffer the data and postpone flushing output.
IIS_COMPRESSION_OPERATION_FLUSH 1 Flush all pending output data buffered in the encoder. Flush is performed when the available input data is depleted.
IIS_COMPRESSION_OPERATION_FINISH 2 Finalize the stream. Finalization happens when the input stream reaches the end

Return Value

An HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Value Description
S_OK Indicates that the operation was successful.
S_FALSE Indicates that all the available input data has been processed and all the output data has been produced.
