## Installation

### Using prebuilt binaries

Check out the [releases](https://github.com/reu/zclib/releases) page for prebuilt versions of zclib for many different architectures.

### From source

To build from source, first make sure you have the Rust toolchan installed. Then just use Cargo:

```bash
cargo install --locked zclib
```

```

## Credits

All the credits are given to the contributors of the [flate2](https://github.com/rust-lang/flate2-rs), since I didn't implement any part of the zlib algorithim.

The rest of the credits goes to the [clap](https://github.com/clap-rs/clap) library, which is just made of awesomeness.

In short this is just a glue between flate2 and clap ;P
