How can I easily compress and decompress files using zlib? For decompression: char buf[1024*1024*16]; gzFile *fi = (gzFile *)gzopen("file.gz","rb"); gzrewind(fi); while(!gzeof(fi)) { int len = gzread(fi,buf,sizeof(buf)); //buf contains len bytes of decompressed data } gzclose(fi); For compression gzFile *fi = (gzFile *)gzopen("file.gz","wb"); gzwrite(fi,"my decompressed data",strlen("my decompressed data")); gzclose(fi); Please read through this. The information is already available here : That is the first link that shows up even on google. If you can use boost, I would recommend the boost
