    Objects of this type are filled in by callers and provided to the
    deflate codec to define the input and output areas for the next
    compress or decompress operation.

    The application must update next_in and avail_in when avail_in has dropped
    to zero.  It must update next_out and avail_out when avail_out has dropped
    to zero.  The application must initialize zalloc, zfree and opaque before
    calling the init function.  All other fields are set by the compression
    library and must not be updated by the application.

    The fields total_in and total_out can be used for statistics or progress
    reports.  After compression, total_in holds the total size of the
    uncompressed data and may be saved for use in the decompressor (particularly
    if the decompressor wants to decompress everything in a single step).
