//! This module contains the various options to tweak how compression is performed. //! //! Note that due to the nature of the `DEFLATE` format, lower compression levels //! may for some data compress better than higher compression levels. //! //! For applications where a maximum level of compression (irrespective of compression //! speed) is required, consider using the [`Zopfli`](https://crates.io/crates/zopfli) //! compressor, which uses a specialised (but slow) algorithm to figure out the maximum //! of compression for the provided data. //! use lz77::MatchingType; use std::convert::From; pub const HIGH_MAX_HASH_CHECKS: u16 = 1768; pub const HIGH_LAZY_IF_LESS_THAN: u16 = 128; /// The maximum number of hash checks that make sense as this is the length /// of the hash chain. pub const MAX_HASH_CHECKS: u16 = 32 * 1024; pub const DEFAULT_MAX_HASH_CHECKS: u16 = 128; pub const DEFAULT_LAZY_IF_LESS_THAN: u16 = 32; /// An enum describing the level of compression to be used by the encoder /// /// Higher compression ratios will take longer to encode. /// /// This is a simplified interface to specify a compression level. /// /// [See also `CompressionOptions`](./struct.CompressionOptions.html) which provides for /// tweaking the settings more finely. #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Eq, PartialEq, Ord, PartialOrd, Hash)] pub enum Compression { /// Fast minimal compression (`CompressionOptions::fast()`).
