  20. * blast() decompresses the PKWare Data Compression Library (DCL) compressed
  21. * format. It provides the same functionality as the explode() function in
  22. * that library. (Note: PKWare overused the "implode" verb, and the format
  23. * used by their library implode() function is completely different and
  24. * incompatible with the implode compression method supported by PKZIP.)

  32. /* Decompress input to output using the provided infun() and outfun() calls.
  33. * On success, the return value of blast() is zero. If there is an error in
  34. * the source data, i.e. it is not in the proper format, then a negative value
  35. * is returned. If there is not enough input available or there is not enough
  36. * output space, then a positive error is returned.
  37. *
  38. * The input function is invoked: len = infun(how, &buf), where buf is set by
  39. * infun() to point to the input buffer, and infun() returns the number of
  40. * available bytes there. If infun() returns zero, then blast() returns with
  41. * an input error. (blast() only asks for input if it needs it.) inhow is for
  42. * use by the application to pass an input descriptor to infun(), if desired.
  43. *
  44. * The output function is invoked: err = outfun(how, buf, len), where the bytes
  45. * to be written are buf[0..len-1]. If err is not zero, then blast() returns
  46. * with an output error. outfun() is always called with len <= 4096. outhow
  47. * is for use by the application to pass an output descriptor to outfun(), if
  48. * desired.
  49. *
  50. * The return codes are:
  51. *
  52. * 2: ran out of input before completing decompression
  53. * 1: output error before completing decompression
  54. * 0: successful decompression
  55. * -1: literal flag not zero or one
  56. * -2: dictionary size not in 4..6
  57. * -3: distance is too far back
  58. *
  59. * At the bottom of blast.c is an example program that uses blast() that can be
  60. * compiled to produce a command-line decompression filter by defining TEST.
