Package: libcompress-zlib-perl
Version: 1.34-1
Severity: normal
The manual page for Compress::Zlib is confusing when it comes to the
section about compress() and uncompress(). It lists the $source
argument, without explaining what it is supposed to represent. Is it
a buffer or a file descriptor, for example? If it is a buffer, how is
it different from the $buffer argument for memGzip() and memGunzip()?
This quite is an example on what I am talking about:
$dest = compress($source [, $level] ) ;
Compresses $source. If successful it returns the compressed data.
Otherwise it returns undef.
The source buffer can either be a scalar or a scalar reference.
I miss some more information about $source here. Can it be a
filehandle?
