Overview

This snippet shows how to get the trailer and the header info from GZIP files.

The trailer part of GZIP file should contain the following data:

• CRC32
• Input size (calculated from the original uncompressed data)

The actual GZIP header is defined to contain the following fields:

• Fixed value for ID1 = 31
• Fixed value for ID2 = 139
• Compression method (8 is the standard)
• Flags (0 = no flags are set)
• Modification time (time stamp in Unix format)
• Extra flags (maximum compression - fastest algorithm)
• Operating System

This snippet can be self-signed.

MMP file

The following libraries are required:

LIBRARY efsrv.lib
LIBRARY ezlib.lib
