DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing compressed
       data to files or buffer as defined in RFC 1951.
       Note that RFC 1951 data is not a good choice of compression format to
       use in isolation, especially if you want to auto-detect it.
       For reading RFC 1951 files/buffers, see the companion module
       IO::Uncompress::RawInflate.
Functional Interface
       A top-level function, "rawdeflate", is provided to carry out "one-shot"
       compression between buffers and/or files. For finer control over the
       compression process, see the "OO Interface" section.
           use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(rawdeflate $RawDeflateError) ;
           rawdeflate $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [,OPTS]
               or die "rawdeflate failed: $RawDeflateError\n";
       The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.
   rawdeflate $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [,
       OPTS]
       "rawdeflate" expects at least two parameters,
       $input_filename_or_reference and $output_filename_or_reference.
       The $input_filename_or_reference parameter
       The parameter, $input_filename_or_reference, is used to define the
       source of the uncompressed data.
       It can take one of the following forms:
       A filename
            If the <$input_filename_or_reference> parameter is a simple
            scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened
            for reading and the input data will be read from it.
       A filehandle
            If the $input_filename_or_reference parameter is a filehandle, the
            input data will be read from it.  The string '-' can be used as an
            alias for standard input.
       A scalar reference
            If $input_filename_or_reference is a scalar reference, the input
            data will be read from $$input_filename_or_reference.
       An array reference
            If $input_filename_or_reference is an array reference, each
            element in the array must be a filename.
            The input data will be read from each file in turn.
            The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only contains
            valid filenames before any data is compressed.
       An Input FileGlob string
            If $input_filename_or_reference is a string that is delimited by
            the characters "<" and ">" "rawdeflate" will assume that it is an
            input fileglob string. The input is the list of files that match
            the fileglob.
            See File::GlobMapper for more details.
       If the $input_filename_or_reference parameter is any other type,
       "undef" will be returned.
       The $output_filename_or_reference parameter
       The parameter $output_filename_or_reference is used to control the
       destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
       these forms.
       A filename
            If the $output_filename_or_reference parameter is a simple scalar,
            it is assumed to be a filename.  This file will be opened for
            writing and the compressed data will be written to it.
       A filehandle
            If the $output_filename_or_reference parameter is a filehandle,
            the compressed data will be written to it.  The string '-' can be
            used as an alias for standard output.
       A scalar reference
            If $output_filename_or_reference is a scalar reference, the
            compressed data will be stored in $$output_filename_or_reference.
       An Array Reference
            If $output_filename_or_reference is an array reference, the
            compressed data will be pushed onto the array.
       An Output FileGlob
            If $output_filename_or_reference is a string that is delimited by
            the characters "<" and ">" "rawdeflate" will assume that it is an
            output fileglob string. The output is the list of files that match
            the fileglob.
            When $output_filename_or_reference is an fileglob string,
            $input_filename_or_reference must also be a fileglob string.
            Anything else is an error.
            See File::GlobMapper for more details.
       If the $output_filename_or_reference parameter is any other type,
       "undef" will be returned.
   Notes
       When $input_filename_or_reference maps to multiple files/buffers and
       $output_filename_or_reference is a single file/buffer the input
       files/buffers will be stored in $output_filename_or_reference as a
       concatenated series of compressed data streams.
   Optional Parameters
       Unless specified below, the optional parameters for "rawdeflate",
       "OPTS", are the same as those used with the OO interface defined in the
       "Constructor Options" section below.
       "AutoClose => 0|1"
            This option applies to any input or output data streams to
            "rawdeflate" that are filehandles.
            If "AutoClose" is specified, and the value is true, it will result
            in all input and/or output filehandles being closed once
            "rawdeflate" has completed.
            This parameter defaults to 0.
       "BinModeIn => 0|1"
            When reading from a file or filehandle, set "binmode" before
            reading.
            Defaults to 0.
       "Append => 0|1"
            The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output
            data stream.
            o    A Buffer
                 If "Append" is enabled, all compressed data will be append to
                 the end of the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer
                 will be cleared before any compressed data is written to it.
            o    A Filename
                 If "Append" is enabled, the file will be opened in append
                 mode. Otherwise the contents of the file, if any, will be
                 truncated before any compressed data is written to it.
            o    A Filehandle
                 If "Append" is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to
                 the end of the file via a call to "seek" before any
                 compressed data is written to it.  Otherwise the file pointer
                 will not be moved.
            When "Append" is specified, and set to true, it will append all
            compressed data to the output data stream.
            So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the
            eof before writing any compressed data. If the output is a
            filename, it will be opened for appending. If the output is a
            buffer, all compressed data will be appended to the existing
            buffer.
            Conversely when "Append" is not specified, or it is present and is
            set to false, it will operate as follows.
            When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of
            the file before writing any compressed data. If the output is a
            filehandle its position will not be changed. If the output is a
            buffer, it will be wiped before any compressed data is output.
            Defaults to 0.
   Examples
       To read the contents of the file "file1.txt" and write the compressed
       data to the file "file1.txt.1951".
           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(rawdeflate $RawDeflateError) ;
           my $input = "file1.txt";
           rawdeflate $input => "$input.1951"
               or die "rawdeflate failed: $RawDeflateError\n";
       To read from an existing Perl filehandle, $input, and write the
       compressed data to a buffer, $buffer.
           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(rawdeflate $RawDeflateError) ;
           use IO::File ;
           my $input = new IO::File "<file1.txt"
               or die "Cannot open 'file1.txt': $!\n" ;
           my $buffer ;
           rawdeflate $input => \$buffer
               or die "rawdeflate failed: $RawDeflateError\n";
       To compress all files in the directory "/my/home" that match "*.txt"
       and store the compressed data in the same directory
           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(rawdeflate $RawDeflateError) ;
           rawdeflate '</my/home/*.txt>' => '<*.1951>'
               or die "rawdeflate failed: $RawDeflateError\n";
       and if you want to compress each file one at a time, this will do the
       trick
           use strict ;
           use warnings ;
           use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(rawdeflate $RawDeflateError) ;
           for my $input ( glob "/my/home/*.txt" )
           {
               my $output = "$input.1951" ;
               rawdeflate $input => $output
                   or die "Error compressing '$input': $RawDeflateError\n";
           }
OO Interface
   Constructor
       The format of the constructor for "IO::Compress::RawDeflate" is shown
       below
           my $z = new IO::Compress::RawDeflate $output [,OPTS]
               or die "IO::Compress::RawDeflate failed: $RawDeflateError\n";
       It returns an "IO::Compress::RawDeflate" object on success and undef on
       failure.  The variable $RawDeflateError will contain an error message
       on failure.
       If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, $z, returned from
       IO::Compress::RawDeflate can be used exactly like an IO::File
       filehandle.  This means that all normal output file operations can be
       carried out with $z.  For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer
       you can use either of these forms
           $z->print("hello world\n");
           print $z "hello world\n";
       The mandatory parameter $output is used to control the destination of
       the compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
       A filename
            If the $output parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
            filename. This file will be opened for writing and the compressed
            data will be written to it.
       A filehandle
            If the $output parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will
            be written to it.  The string '-' can be used as an alias for
            standard output.
       A scalar reference
            If $output is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be
            stored in $$output.
       If the $output parameter is any other type,
       "IO::Compress::RawDeflate"::new will return undef.
   Constructor Options
       "OPTS" is any combination of the following options:
       "AutoClose => 0|1"
            This option is only valid when the $output parameter is a
            filehandle. If specified, and the value is true, it will result in
            the $output being closed once either the "close" method is called
            or the "IO::Compress::RawDeflate" object is destroyed.
            This parameter defaults to 0.
       "Append => 0|1"
            Opens $output in append mode.
            The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of $output.
            o    A Buffer
                 If $output is a buffer and "Append" is enabled, all
                 compressed data will be append to the end of $output.
                 Otherwise $output will be cleared before any data is written
                 to it.
            o    A Filename
                 If $output is a filename and "Append" is enabled, the file
                 will be opened in append mode. Otherwise the contents of the
                 file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed data is
                 written to it.
            o    A Filehandle
                 If $output is a filehandle, the file pointer will be
                 positioned to the end of the file via a call to "seek" before
                 any compressed data is written to it.  Otherwise the file
                 pointer will not be moved.
            This parameter defaults to 0.
       "Merge => 0|1"
            This option is used to compress input data and append it to an
            existing compressed data stream in $output. The end result is a
            single compressed data stream stored in $output.
            It is a fatal error to attempt to use this option when $output is
            not an RFC 1951 data stream.
            There are a number of other limitations with the "Merge" option:
            1.   This module needs to have been built with zlib 1.2.1 or
                 better to work. A fatal error will be thrown if "Merge" is
                 used with an older version of zlib.
            2.   If $output is a file or a filehandle, it must be seekable.
            This parameter defaults to 0.
       -Level
            Defines the compression level used by zlib. The value should
            either be a number between 0 and 9 (0 means no compression and 9
            is maximum compression), or one of the symbolic constants defined
            below.
               Z_NO_COMPRESSION
               Z_BEST_SPEED
               Z_BEST_COMPRESSION
               Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
            The default is Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.
            Note, these constants are not imported by
            "IO::Compress::RawDeflate" by default.
                use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(:strategy);
                use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(:constants);
                use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(:all);
       -Strategy
            Defines the strategy used to tune the compression. Use one of the
            symbolic constants defined below.
               Z_FILTERED
               Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
               Z_RLE
               Z_FIXED
               Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY
            The default is Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY.
       "Strict => 0|1"
            This is a placeholder option.
   Examples
       TODO
Methods
   print
       Usage is
           $z->print($data)
           print $z $data
       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter. This has
       the same behaviour as the "print" built-in.
       Returns true if successful.
   printf
       Usage is
           $z->printf($format, $data)
           printf $z $format, $data
       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.
       Returns true if successful.
   syswrite
       Usage is
           $z->syswrite $data
           $z->syswrite $data, $length
           $z->syswrite $data, $length, $offset
       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.
       Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or "undef" if
       unsuccessful.
   write
       Usage is
           $z->write $data
           $z->write $data, $length
           $z->write $data, $length, $offset
       Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.
       Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or "undef" if
       unsuccessful.
   flush
       Usage is
           $z->flush;
           $z->flush($flush_type);
       Flushes any pending compressed data to the output file/buffer.
       This method takes an optional parameter, $flush_type, that controls how
       the flushing will be carried out. By default the $flush_type used is
       "Z_FINISH". Other valid values for $flush_type are "Z_NO_FLUSH",
       "Z_SYNC_FLUSH", "Z_FULL_FLUSH" and "Z_BLOCK". It is strongly
       recommended that you only set the "flush_type" parameter if you fully
       understand the implications of what it does - overuse of "flush" can
       seriously degrade the level of compression achieved. See the "zlib"
       documentation for details.
       Returns true on success.
   tell
       Usage is
           $z->tell()
           tell $z
       Returns the uncompressed file offset.
   eof
       Usage is
           $z->eof();
           eof($z);
       Returns true if the "close" method has been called.
   seek
           $z->seek($position, $whence);
           seek($z, $position, $whence);
       Provides a sub-set of the "seek" functionality, with the restriction
       that it is only legal to seek forward in the output file/buffer.  It is
       a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.
       Empty parts of the file/buffer will have NULL (0x00) bytes written to
       them.
       The $whence parameter takes one the usual values, namely SEEK_SET,
       SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END.
       Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
   binmode
       Usage is
           $z->binmode
           binmode $z ;
       This is a noop provided for completeness.
   opened
           $z->opened()
       Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer.
   autoflush
           my $prev = $z->autoflush()
           my $prev = $z->autoflush(EXPR)
       If the $z object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
       returns the current autoflush setting for the underlying filehandle. If
       "EXPR" is present, and is non-zero, it will enable flushing after every
       write/print operation.
       If $z is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always
       returns "undef".
       Note that the special variable $| cannot be used to set or retrieve the
       autoflush setting.
   input_line_number
           $z->input_line_number()
           $z->input_line_number(EXPR)
       This method always returns "undef" when compressing.
   fileno
           $z->fileno()
           fileno($z)
       If the $z object is associated with a file or a filehandle, "fileno"
       will return the underlying file descriptor. Once the "close" method is
       called "fileno" will return "undef".
       If the $z object is associated with a buffer, this method will return
       "undef".
   close
           $z->close() ;
           close $z ;
       Flushes any pending compressed data and then closes the output
       file/buffer.
       For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
       the IO::Compress::RawDeflate object is destroyed (either explicitly or
       by the variable with the reference to the object going out of scope).
       The exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
       these cases, the "close" method will be called automatically, but not
       until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
       terminating.
       Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
       of Perl, you should call "close" explicitly and not rely on automatic
       closing.
       Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
       If the "AutoClose" option has been enabled when the
       IO::Compress::RawDeflate object was created, and the object is
       associated with a file, the underlying file will also be closed.
   newStream([OPTS])
       Usage is
           $z->newStream( [OPTS] )
       Closes the current compressed data stream and starts a new one.
       OPTS consists of any of the the options that are available when
       creating the $z object.
       See the "Constructor Options" section for more details.
   deflateParams
       Usage is
           $z->deflateParams

Importing
       A number of symbolic constants are required by some methods in
       "IO::Compress::RawDeflate". None are imported by default.
       :all Imports "rawdeflate", $RawDeflateError and all symbolic constants
            that can be used by "IO::Compress::RawDeflate". Same as doing this
                use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(rawdeflate $RawDeflateError :constants) ;
       :constants
            Import all symbolic constants. Same as doing this
                use IO::Compress::RawDeflate qw(:flush :level :strategy) ;
       :flush
            These symbolic constants are used by the "flush" method.
                Z_NO_FLUSH
                Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH
                Z_SYNC_FLUSH
                Z_FULL_FLUSH
                Z_FINISH
                Z_BLOCK
       :level
            These symbolic constants are used by the "Level" option in the
            constructor.
                Z_NO_COMPRESSION
                Z_BEST_SPEED
                Z_BEST_COMPRESSION
                Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
       :strategy
            These symbolic constants are used by the "Strategy" option in the
            constructor.
                Z_FILTERED
                Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
                Z_RLE
