libz-ng-sys
A library for linking zlib-ng (libz-ng) to Rust programs natively, rather
than in zlib-compat mode.
zlib-ng is a high-performance implementation of zlib. zlib-ng supports building
in two modes: zlib-compat mode, in which it provides the same API as zlib and
generally works as a drop-in replacement, and native mode, in which it provides
its own API. The native API is almost identical to the zlib-compat API, except
that some types use more correct sizes (rather than the sizes required for zlib
compatibility), and the functions all have a zng_ prefix. The latter allows
zlib and zlib-ng to coexist in the same program.
This crate provides bindings to the native zlib-ng API. However, for simplicity
of porting, this crate exports the same API as libz-sys (without the zng_
prefixes), making it easier to write Rust software compatible with both
libz-sys and libz-ng-sys.
High-level API
This crate provides bindings to the raw low-level C API. For a higher-level
safe API to work with DEFLATE, zlib, or gzip streams, see
flate2. flate2 supports many different
implementations.
Development
This crate is built from the same sources as
libz-sys. From within those sources,
Cargo.toml is the manifest for libz-sys, and Cargo-zng.toml is the
manifest for libz-ng-sys. The script ./cargo-zng invokes Cargo on a
temporary copy of the sources with Cargo-zng.toml replacing Cargo.toml; for
instance, use ./cargo-zng publish to publish libz-ng-sys.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) Policy
This crate uses the same MSRV policy as the
flate2 crate: This crate supports the
current and previous stable versions of Rust. Older versions of Rust may work,
but we don't guarantee these will continue to work.
