+.SH NAME
+IO::Zlib \- IO:: style interface to Compress::Zlib
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+With any version of Perl 5 you can use the basic OO interface:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& use IO::Zlib;
+\&
+\& $fh = new IO::Zlib;
+\& if ($fh\->open("file.gz", "rb")) {
+\& print <$fh>;
+\& $fh\->close;
+\& }
+\&
+\& $fh = IO::Zlib\->new("file.gz", "wb9");
+\& if (defined $fh) {
+\& print $fh "bar\en";
+\& $fh\->close;
+\& }
+\&
+\& $fh = IO::Zlib\->new("file.gz", "rb");
+\& if (defined $fh) {
+\& print <$fh>;
+\& undef $fh; # automatically closes the file
+\& }
+.Ve
+.PP
+With Perl 5.004 you can also use the TIEHANDLE interface to access
+compressed files just like ordinary files:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& use IO::Zlib;
+\&
+\& tie *FILE, \*(AqIO::Zlib\*(Aq, "file.gz", "wb";
+\& print FILE "line 1\enline2\en";
+\&
+\& tie *FILE, \*(AqIO::Zlib\*(Aq, "file.gz", "rb";
+\& while (<FILE>) { print "LINE: ", $_ };
+.Ve
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\f(CW\*(C`IO::Zlib\*(C'\fR provides an IO:: style interface to Compress::Zlib and
+hence to gzip/zlib compressed files. It provides many of the same methods
+as the IO::Handle interface.
+.PP
+Starting from IO::Zlib version 1.02, IO::Zlib can also use an
+external \fIgzip\fR command. The default behaviour is to try to use
+an external \fIgzip\fR if no \f(CW\*(C`Compress::Zlib\*(C'\fR can be loaded, unless
+explicitly disabled by
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& use IO::Zlib qw(:gzip_external 0);
+.Ve
+.PP
+If explicitly enabled by
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& use IO::Zlib qw(:gzip_external 1);
+.Ve
+.PP
+then the external \fIgzip\fR is used \fBinstead\fR of \f(CW\*(C`Compress::Zlib\*(C'\fR.
+.SH CONSTRUCTOR
+.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
+.IP "new ( [ARGS] )" 4
+.IX Item "new ( [ARGS] )"
+Creates an \f(CW\*(C`IO::Zlib\*(C'\fR object. If it receives any parameters, they are
+passed to the method \f(CW\*(C`open\*(C'\fR; if the open fails, the object is destroyed.
+Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
+.SH "OBJECT METHODS"
+.IX Header "OBJECT METHODS"
+.IP "open ( FILENAME, MODE )" 4
+.IX Item "open ( FILENAME, MODE )"
+\&\f(CW\*(C`open\*(C'\fR takes two arguments. The first is the name of the file to open
+and the second is the open mode. The mode can be anything acceptable to
+Compress::Zlib and by extension anything acceptable to \fIzlib\fR (that
+basically means POSIX \fBfopen()\fR style mode strings plus an optional number
+to indicate the compression level).
+.IP opened 4
+.IX Item "opened"
+Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file.
+.IP close 4
+.IX Item "close"
+Close the file associated with the object and disassociate
+the file from the handle.
+Done automatically on destroy.
+.IP getc 4
+.IX Item "getc"
+Return the next character from the file, or undef if none remain.
+.IP getline 4
+.IX Item "getline"
+Return the next line from the file, or undef on end of string.
+Can safely be called in an array context.
+Currently ignores $/ ($INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR or \f(CW$RS\fR when English
+is in use) and treats lines as delimited by "\en".
+.IP getlines 4
+.IX Item "getlines"
+Get all remaining lines from the file.
+It will \fBcroak()\fR if accidentally called in a scalar context.
+.IP "print ( ARGS... )" 4
+.IX Item "print ( ARGS... )"
+Print ARGS to the file.
+.IP "read ( BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET] )" 4
+.IX Item "read ( BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET] )"
+Read some bytes from the file.
+Returns the number of bytes actually read, 0 on end-of-file, undef on error.
+.IP eof 4
+.IX Item "eof"
+Returns true if the handle is currently positioned at end of file?
+.IP "seek ( OFFSET, WHENCE )" 4
+.IX Item "seek ( OFFSET, WHENCE )"
+Seek to a given position in the stream.
+Not yet supported.
+.IP tell 4
+.IX Item "tell"
+Return the current position in the stream, as a numeric offset.
+Not yet supported.
+.IP "setpos ( POS )" 4
+.IX Item "setpos ( POS )"
+Set the current position, using the opaque value returned by \f(CWgetpos()\fR.
+Not yet supported.
+.IP "getpos ( POS )" 4
+.IX Item "getpos ( POS )"
+Return the current position in the string, as an opaque object.
+Not yet supported.
+.SH "USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP"
+.IX Header "USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP"
+If the external \fIgzip\fR is used, the following \f(CW\*(C`open\*(C'\fRs are used:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& open(FH, "gzip \-dc $filename |") # for read opens
+\& open(FH, " | gzip > $filename") # for write opens
+.Ve
+.PP
+You can modify the 'commands' for example to hardwire
+an absolute path by e.g.
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& use IO::Zlib \*(Aq:gzip_read_open\*(Aq => \*(Aq/some/where/gunzip \-c %s |\*(Aq;
+\& use IO::Zlib \*(Aq:gzip_write_open\*(Aq => \*(Aq| /some/where/gzip.exe > %s\*(Aq;
+.Ve
+.PP
+The \f(CW%s\fR is expanded to be the filename (\f(CW\*(C`sprintf\*(C'\fR is used, so be
+careful to escape any other \f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR signs). The 'commands' are checked
+for sanity \- they must contain the \f(CW%s\fR, and the read open must end
+with the pipe sign, and the write open must begin with the pipe sign.
+.SH "CLASS METHODS"
+.IX Header "CLASS METHODS"
+.IP has_Compress_Zlib 4
+.IX Item "has_Compress_Zlib"
+Returns true if \f(CW\*(C`Compress::Zlib\*(C'\fR is available. Note that this does
+not mean that \f(CW\*(C`Compress::Zlib\*(C'\fR is being used: see "gzip_external"
+and gzip_used.
+.IP gzip_external 4
+.IX Item "gzip_external"
+Undef if an external \fIgzip\fR \fBcan\fR be used if \f(CW\*(C`Compress::Zlib\*(C'\fR is
+not available (see "has_Compress_Zlib"), true if an external \fIgzip\fR
+is explicitly used, false if an external \fIgzip\fR must not be used.
+See "gzip_used".
+.IP gzip_used 4
+.IX Item "gzip_used"
+True if an external \fIgzip\fR is being used, false if not.
+.IP gzip_read_open 4
+.IX Item "gzip_read_open"
+Return the 'command' being used for opening a file for reading using an
+external \fIgzip\fR.
+.IP gzip_write_open 4
+.IX Item "gzip_write_open"
+Return the 'command' being used for opening a file for writing using an
+external \fIgzip\fR.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS"
+.IP "IO::Zlib::getlines: must be called in list context" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::getlines: must be called in list context"
+If you want read lines, you must read in list context.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::gzopen_external: mode '...' is illegal" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::gzopen_external: mode '...' is illegal"
+Use only modes 'rb' or 'wb' or /wb[1\-9]/.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: '...' is illegal" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: '...' is illegal"
+The known import symbols are the \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_external\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_read_open\*(C'\fR,
+and \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_write_open\*(C'\fR. Anything else is not recognized.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: ':gzip_external' requires an argument" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: ':gzip_external' requires an argument"
+The \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_external\*(C'\fR requires one boolean argument.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read_open' requires an argument" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read_open' requires an argument"
+The \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_external\*(C'\fR requires one string argument.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read' '...' is illegal" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read' '...' is illegal"
+The \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_read_open\*(C'\fR argument must end with the pipe sign (|)
+and have the \f(CW%s\fR for the filename. See "USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP".
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' requires an argument" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' requires an argument"
+The \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_external\*(C'\fR requires one string argument.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' '...' is illegal" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' '...' is illegal"
+The \f(CW\*(C`:gzip_write_open\*(C'\fR argument must begin with the pipe sign (|)
+and have the \f(CW%s\fR for the filename. An output redirect (>) is also
+often a good idea, depending on your operating system shell syntax.
+See "USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP".
+.IP "IO::Zlib::import: no Compress::Zlib and no external gzip" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::import: no Compress::Zlib and no external gzip"
+Given that we failed to load \f(CW\*(C`Compress::Zlib\*(C'\fR and that the use of
+ an external \fIgzip\fR was disabled, IO::Zlib has not much chance of working.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::open: needs a filename" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::open: needs a filename"
+No filename, no open.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::READ: NBYTES must be specified" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::READ: NBYTES must be specified"
+We must know how much to read.
+.IP "IO::Zlib::WRITE: too long LENGTH" 4
+.IX Item "IO::Zlib::WRITE: too long LENGTH"
+The LENGTH must be less than or equal to the buffer size.
