Compression API
Overview of the Compression API technology.
To develop Compression API, you need these headers:
For programming guidance for this technology, see:
Enumerations
| COMPRESS_INFORMATION_CLASS The values of this enumeration identify the type of information class being set or retrieved. |
Functions
| CloseCompressor Call to close an open COMPRESSOR_HANDLE. |
| CloseDecompressor Call to close an open DECOMPRESSOR_HANDLE. |
| Compress Takes a block of information and compresses it. |
| CreateCompressor Generates a new COMPRESSOR_HANDLE. |
| CreateDecompressor Generates a new DECOMPRESSOR_HANDLE. |
| Decompress Takes a block of compressed information and decompresses it. |
| QueryCompressorInformation Queries a compressor for information for a particular compression algorithm. |
| QueryDecompressorInformation Use this function to query information about a particular compression algorithm. |
| ResetCompressor Prepares the compressor for the compression of a new stream. |
| ResetDecompressor Prepares the decompressor for the decompression of a new stream. |
| SetCompressorInformation Sets information in a compressor for a particular compression algorithm. |
| SetDecompressorInformation Sets information in a decompressor for a particular compression algorithm. |
Structures
| COMPRESS_ALLOCATION_ROUTINES A structure containing optional memory allocation and deallocation routines. |
