The functions in this module allow compression and decompression using the
zlib library, which is based on GNU zip.
 
adler32(string[, start]) -- Compute an Adler-32 checksum.
compress(string[, level]) -- Compress string, with compression level in 0-9.
compressobj([level]) -- Return a compressor object.
crc32(string[, start]) -- Compute a CRC-32 checksum.
decompress(string,[wbits],[bufsize]) -- Decompresses a compressed string.
decompressobj([wbits]) -- Return a decompressor object.
 
'wbits' is window buffer size.
Compressor objects support compress() and flush() methods; decompressor
objects support decompress() and flush().
