gzopen -- Open gz-file
Description
int gzopen (string filename, string mode [, int
use_include_path])
Opens a gzip (.gz) file for reading or writing. The mode parameter is as in fopen() ("rb" or "wb") but can also include a compression level
("wb9") or a strategy: 'f' for filtered data as in "wb6f", 'h' for Huffman only compression as in
"wb1h". (See the description of deflateInit2 in zlib.h for more information about the strategy
parameter.)
gzopen() can be used to read a file which is not in gzip format; in this case gzread() will directly read from the file without
decompression.
gzopen() returns a file pointer to the file opened, after that, everything you read
from this file descriptor will be transparently decompressed and what you write gets
compressed.
If the open fails, the function returns FALSE.
You can use the optional third parameter and set it to "1", if you want to search for the
file in the include_path, too.
