Compression level between zero and nine (0-9).

In This Topic
    deflateInit(Int32) Method
    In This Topic
    Initializes the internal stream state for compression.
    Syntax
    Public Overloads Function deflateInit( _
       ByVal level As Integer _
    ) As Integer
    public int deflateInit( 
       int level
    )

    Parameters

    level
    Compression level between zero and nine (0-9).

    Return Value

    Zero on success, an error code on failure.
    Remarks

    Compression level 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression.

    Compression level zero gives no compression at all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time).

    The default compression level is 6, which provides a compromise between speed and compression.
