NAME
       zlib-flate - raw zlib compression program


SYNOPSIS
       zlib-flate -compress | -uncompress


DESCRIPTION
       The zlib-flate program is part of the qpdf package.

       The  zlib-flate  program  reads  from  standard input and writes to standard output either compressing or
       uncompressing its input using raw zlib compression.  It can be used to uncompress  or  compress  raw  PDF
       streams  or  other data that is compressed with raw zlib compression.  This program is provided primarily
       as a debugging tool, though it could be used for other purposes, such as being called from a script  that
       creates simple PDF files.

       This  program  should  not  be  used  as  a general purpose compression tool.  Use something like gzip(1)
       instead.

       For details about qpdf, please see the qpdf manual,  which  can  be  found  in  /usr/share/doc/qpdf/qpdf-
