ZLIB-FLATE(1)			  User Commands 		   ZLIB-FLATE(1)

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  com-
     pression.	 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  at
     https://qpdf.readthedocs.io.
