C

int CRYPT_HUFFMAN_Compress(
    unsigned char* out, 
    unsigned int outSz, 
    const unsigned char* in, 
    unsigned int inSz, 
    unsigned int flags
);

Description

This function compresses a block of data using Huffman encoding.

Preconditions

None.

in	Point to location of source data.
inSz	Size of the input data in bytes.
flags	Flags to control how compress operates.

Returns

negative - Error code.
positive - Bytes stored in the out buffer.

Remarks

Output buffer must be large enough to hold the contents of the operation.

Example

const unsigned char text[] = "...";
unsigned int inSz = sizeof(text);
unsigned int outSz;
unsigned char cBuffer[1024];

int ret;

ret = CRYPT_HUFFMAN_COMPRESS(cBuffer, sizeof(cBuffer), text, inSz, 0);
