NAME
       zlib-flate - raw zlib compression program

SYNOPSIS
       zlib-flate -compress | -uncompress

DESCRIPTION
       The zlib-flate program is part of the qpdf package.

       The zlib-flate program reads from standard input and writes to standard output either com‐
       pressing or uncompressing its input using raw zlib compression.	It can be used to  uncom‐
       press  or compress raw PDF streams or other data that is compressed with raw zlib compres‐
       sion.  This program is provided primarily as a debugging tool, though it could be used for
       other purposes, such as being called from a script that creates simple PDF files.

       This program should not be used as a general purpose compression tool.  Use something like
       gzip(1) instead.
