NAME
zlib-flate - raw zlib compression program
SYNOPSIS
zlib-flate -compress | -uncompress
DESCRIPTION
The zlib-flate program is part of the qpdf package.
The zlib-flate program reads from standard input and writes to standard
output either compressing or uncompressing its input using raw zlib
compression. It can be used to uncompress or compress raw PDF streams or
other data that is compressed with raw zlib compression. This program is
provided primarily as a debugging tool, though it could be used for other
purposes, such as being called from a script that creates simple PDF
files.
This program should not be used as a general purpose compression tool.
Use something like gzip(1) instead.
