<div class='docblock'><p>An implementation an encoder using <a href="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-deflate.html">DEFLATE</a>
compression algorightm in pure rust.</p>
<p>This library provides functions to compress data using the DEFLATE algorithm,
optionally wrapped using the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950">zlib</a> or
<a href="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-gzip.html">gzip</a> formats.
The current implementation is still a bit lacking speed-wise compared to C-libraries
like zlib and miniz.</p>
<p>The deflate algorithm is an older compression algorithm that is still widely used today,
by e.g html headers, the <code>.png</code> inage format, the unix <code>gzip</code> program and commonly in <code>.zip</code>
files. The <code>zlib</code> and <code>gzip</code> formats are wrappers around DEFLATE-compressed data, containing
some extra metadata and a checksum to validate the integrity of the raw data.</p>
<p>The deflate algorithm does not perform as well as newer algorhitms used in file formats such as
<code>.7z</code>, <code>.rar</code>, <code>.xz</code> and <code>.bz2</code>, and is thus not the ideal choice for applications where
the <code>DEFLATE</code> format (with or without wrappers) is not required.</p>
<p>Support for the gzip wrapper (the wrapper that is used in <code>.gz</code> files) is disabled by default,
but can be enabled with the <code>gzip</code> feature.</p>
<p>As this library is still in development, the compression output may change slightly
between versions.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
