31  * used by their library implode() function is completely different and
32  * incompatible with the implode compression method supported by PKZIP.)

45  * On success, the return value of blast() is zero.  If there is an error in
46  * the source data, i.e. it is not in the proper format, then a negative value
47  * is returned.  If there is not enough input available or there is not enough
48  * output space, then a positive error is returned.
49  *
50  * The input function is invoked: len = infun(how, &buf), where buf is set by
51  * infun() to point to the input buffer, and infun() returns the number of
52  * available bytes there.  If infun() returns zero, then blast() returns with
53  * an input error.  (blast() only asks for input if it needs it.)  inhow is for
54  * use by the application to pass an input descriptor to infun(), if desired.
55  *
56  * The output function is invoked: err = outfun(how, buf, len), where the bytes
57  * to be written are buf[0..len-1].  If err is not zero, then blast() returns
58  * with an output error.  outfun() is always called with len <= 4096.  outhow
59  * is for use by the application to pass an output descriptor to outfun(), if
60  * desired.
61  *
62  * The return codes are:
63  *
64  *   2:  ran out of input before completing decompression
65  *   1:  output error before completing decompression
66  *   0:  successful decompression
67  *  -1:  literal flag not zero or one
68  *  -2:  dictionary size not in 4..6
69  *  -3:  distance is too far back
70  *
71  * At the bottom of blast.c is an example program that uses blast() that can be
72  * compiled to produce a command-line decompression filter by defining TEST.
