+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing compressed
+data to files or buffer as defined in RFC 1950.
+.PP
+For reading RFC 1950 files/buffers, see the companion module
+IO::Uncompress::Inflate.
+.SH "Functional Interface"
+.IX Header "Functional Interface"
+A top-level function, \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR, is provided to carry out
+"one-shot" compression between buffers and/or files. For finer
+control over the compression process, see the "OO Interface"
+section.
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&    use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;
+\&
+\&    deflate $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [,OPTS]
+\&        or die "deflate failed: $DeflateError\en";
+.Ve
+.PP
+The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.

+.IX Subsection "deflate $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, OPTS]"
+\&\f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR expects at least two parameters,
+\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR and \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR
+and zero or more optional parameters (see "Optional Parameters")
+.PP
+\fIThe \fR\f(CI$input_filename_or_reference\fR\fI parameter\fR
+.IX Subsection "The $input_filename_or_reference parameter"
+.PP
+The parameter, \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR, is used to define the
+source of the uncompressed data.
+.PP
+It can take one of the following forms:
+.IP "A filename" 5
+.IX Item "A filename"
+If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
+assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for reading and the
+input data will be read from it.
+.IP "A filehandle" 5
+.IX Item "A filehandle"
+If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the input
+data will be read from it.  The string '\-' can be used as an alias for
+standard input.
+.IP "A scalar reference" 5
+.IX Item "A scalar reference"
+If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the input data
+will be read from \f(CW$$input_filename_or_reference\fR.
+.IP "An array reference" 5
+.IX Item "An array reference"
+If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference, each element in
+the array must be a filename.
+.Sp
+The input data will be read from each file in turn.
+.Sp
+The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only
+contains valid filenames before any data is compressed.
+.IP "An Input FileGlob string" 5
+.IX Item "An Input FileGlob string"
+If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
+characters "<" and ">" \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
+\&\fIinput fileglob string\fR. The input is the list of files that match the
+fileglob.
+.Sp
+See File::GlobMapper for more details.
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
+.PP
+\fIThe \fR\f(CI$output_filename_or_reference\fR\fI parameter\fR
+.IX Subsection "The $output_filename_or_reference parameter"
+.PP
+The parameter \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is used to control the
+destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
+these forms.
+.IP "A filename" 5
+.IX Item "A filename"
+If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
+assumed to be a filename.  This file will be opened for writing and the
+compressed data will be written to it.
+.IP "A filehandle" 5
+.IX Item "A filehandle"
+If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the
+compressed data will be written to it.  The string '\-' can be used as
+an alias for standard output.
+.IP "A scalar reference" 5
+.IX Item "A scalar reference"
+If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the
+compressed data will be stored in \f(CW$$output_filename_or_reference\fR.
+.IP "An Array Reference" 5
+.IX Item "An Array Reference"
+If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference,
+the compressed data will be pushed onto the array.
+.IP "An Output FileGlob" 5
+.IX Item "An Output FileGlob"
+If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
+characters "<" and ">" \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
+\&\fIoutput fileglob string\fR. The output is the list of files that match the
+fileglob.
+.Sp
+When \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an fileglob string,
+\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR must also be a fileglob string. Anything
+else is an error.
+.Sp
+See File::GlobMapper for more details.
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
+.SS Notes
+.IX Subsection "Notes"
+When \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR maps to multiple files/buffers and
+\&\f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a single
+file/buffer the input files/buffers will be stored
+in \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR as a concatenated series of compressed data streams.
+.SS "Optional Parameters"
+.IX Subsection "Optional Parameters"
+The optional parameters for the one-shot function \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR
+are (for the most part) identical to those used with the OO interface defined in the
+"Constructor Options" section. The exceptions are listed below
+.ie n .IP """AutoClose => 0|1""" 5
+.el .IP "\f(CWAutoClose => 0|1\fR" 5
+.IX Item "AutoClose => 0|1"
+This option applies to any input or output data streams to
+\&\f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR that are filehandles.
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all
+input and/or output filehandles being closed once \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR has
+completed.
+.Sp
+This parameter defaults to 0.
+.ie n .IP """BinModeIn => 0|1""" 5
+.el .IP "\f(CWBinModeIn => 0|1\fR" 5
+.IX Item "BinModeIn => 0|1"
+This option is now a no-op. All files will be read in binmode.
+.ie n .IP """Append => 0|1""" 5
+.el .IP "\f(CWAppend => 0|1\fR" 5
+.IX Item "Append => 0|1"
+The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data
+stream.
+.RS 5
+.IP \(bu 5
+A Buffer
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of
+the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any
+compressed data is written to it.
+.IP \(bu 5
+A Filename
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise
+the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed
+data is written to it.
+.IP \(bu 5
+A Filehandle
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of
+the file via a call to \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR before any compressed data is
+written to it.  Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
+.RE
+.RS 5
+.Sp
+When \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is specified, and set to true, it will \fIappend\fR all compressed
+data to the output data stream.
+.Sp
+So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof
+before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for
+appending. If the output is a buffer, all compressed data will be
+appended to the existing buffer.
+.Sp
+Conversely when \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is not specified, or it is present and is set to
+false, it will operate as follows.
+.Sp
+When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file
+before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filehandle
+its position will not be changed. If the output is a buffer, it will be
+wiped before any compressed data is output.
+.Sp
+Defaults to 0.

+Usage is
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\&    $z\->eof();
+\&    eof($z);
+.Ve
+.PP
+Returns true if the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method has been called.
+.SS seek
+.IX Subsection "seek"
+.Vb 2
+\&    $z\->seek($position, $whence);
+\&    seek($z, $position, $whence);
+.Ve
+.PP
+Provides a sub-set of the \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR functionality, with the restriction
+that it is only legal to seek forward in the output file/buffer.
+It is a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.
+.PP
+Empty parts of the file/buffer will have NULL (0x00) bytes written to them.
+.PP
+The \f(CW$whence\fR parameter takes one the usual values, namely SEEK_SET,
+SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END.
+.PP
+Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
+.SS binmode
+.IX Subsection "binmode"
+Usage is
+.PP
+.Vb 2

+.Ve
+.PP
+This is a noop provided for completeness.
+.SS opened
+.IX Subsection "opened"
+.Vb 1

+Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer.
+.SS autoflush
+.IX Subsection "autoflush"
+.Vb 2
+\&    my $prev = $z\->autoflush()
+\&    my $prev = $z\->autoflush(EXPR)
+.Ve
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$z\fR object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
+returns the current autoflush setting for the underlying filehandle. If
+\&\f(CW\*(C`EXPR\*(C'\fR is present, and is non-zero, it will enable flushing after every
+write/print operation.
+.PP
+If \f(CW$z\fR is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always
+returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBNote\fR that the special variable \f(CW$|\fR \fBcannot\fR be used to set or
+retrieve the autoflush setting.
+.SS input_line_number
+.IX Subsection "input_line_number"
+.Vb 2
+\&    $z\->input_line_number()
+\&    $z\->input_line_number(EXPR)
+.Ve
+.PP
+This method always returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR when compressing.
+.SS fileno
+.IX Subsection "fileno"
+.Vb 2
+\&    $z\->fileno()
+\&    fileno($z)
+.Ve
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$z\fR object is associated with a file or a filehandle, \f(CW\*(C`fileno\*(C'\fR
+will return the underlying file descriptor. Once the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method is
+called \f(CW\*(C`fileno\*(C'\fR will return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$z\fR object is associated with a buffer, this method will return
+\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
+.SS close
+.IX Subsection "close"
+.Vb 2
+\&    $z\->close() ;
+\&    close $z ;
+.Ve
+.PP
+Flushes any pending compressed data and then closes the output file/buffer.
+.PP
+For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
+the IO::Compress::Deflate object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the
+variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
+exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
+these cases, the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method will be called automatically, but
+not until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
+terminating.
+.PP
+Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
+of Perl, you should call \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR explicitly and not rely on automatic
+closing.
+.PP
+Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
+.PP
+If the \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::Deflate
+object was created, and the object is associated with a file, the
+underlying file will also be closed.
+.SS newStream([OPTS])
+.IX Subsection "newStream([OPTS])"
+Usage is
