// This file contains:
//
//  - two stream buffer classes (ZlibCompressorIStreambuf and
//    ZlibDecompressorIStreambuf), both based on the same abstract class:
//    ZlibAbstractIStreambuf;
//
//  - two std::istream subclasses (ZlibCompressorIStream and
//    ZlibDecompressorIStream), each creating and using the corresponding
//    stream buffer class from the previous item.
//
// All these allow one to work with RFC 1950 and RFC 1952 compression
// formats, respectively known as the zlib and gzip formats.
//
// These classes are *input* streaming classes, which means they can
// efficiently handle arbitrary amounts of data without using any disk
// space nor increasing amounts of memory, and allow “client code” to pull
// exactly as much data as it wants at any given time, resuming later
// when it is ready to handle the next chunk.
//
// So, for example, assuming you've created an instance of
// ZlibCompressorIStream (bound to some input stream of your choice, let's
// call it iStream), you could read 512 bytes of data from it, and you
// would get the first 512 bytes of *compressed* data corresponding to what
// iStream provided. Then you could resume at any time and ask for the next
// 512 bytes of compressed data (or any other amount), etc.
//
// Therefore, these classes are well suited, among others, to compress or
// decompress data streams while at the same time packing the result into
// discrete chunks or packets with size constraints (you can think of the
// process as making sausages :).
//
// The input being in each case an std::istream (for compressing as well as
// for decompressing), it can be tied to an arbitrary source: a file with
// sg_ifstream or std::ifstream, a memory buffer with std::istringstream or
// std::stringstream, a TCP socket with a custom std::streambuf subclass[1]
// to interface with the sockets API, etc.
//
//   [1] Possibly wrapped in an std::istream.
//
// The stream buffer classes upon which ZlibCompressorIStream and
// ZlibDecompressorIStream are built have an xsgetn() implementation that
// avoids useless copies of data by asking zlib to write directly to the
// destination buffer. This xsgetn() method is used when calling read() on
// the std::istream subclasses, or sgetn() if you are using the stream
// buffer classes directly (i.e., ZlibCompressorIStreambuf and
// ZlibDecompressorIStreambuf). Other std::istream methods may instead rely
// only on the internal buffer and the underflow() method, and therefore be
// less efficient for large amounts of data. You may want to take a look at
// zlibstream_test.cxx to see various ways of using these classes.
//
// In case you use std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, std::string&) or
// its overload friends, beware that it splits fields at spaces, and by
// default ignores spaces at the beginning of a field (cf. std::skipws,
// std::noskipws and friends). As far as I understand it, most of these
// operators are mainly intended in the IOStreams library to be used to
// read an int here, a double there, a space-delimited string afterwards,
// etc. (the exception could be the overload writing to a stream buffer,
// however it doesn't seem to be very efficient on my system with GNU
// libstdc++ [it is not using xsgetn()], so beware also of this one if you
// are handling large amounts of data). For moderately complex or large
// input handling, I'd suggest to use std::istream methods such as read(),
// gcount() and getline() (std::getline() can be useful too). Or directly
// use the stream buffer classes, in particular with sgetn().
