## Function Documentation

Eina_Binbuf* emile_compress | ( | const Eina_Binbuf * | in,
|  | Emile_Compressor_Type | t,
|  | Emile_Compressor_Level | level
| ) |  |

Compress an Eina_Binbuf into a new Eina_Binbuf.

Parameters

  in | Buffer to compress.
  t | Type of compression logic to use.
  level | Level of compression to apply.

Returns
  On success it will return a buffer that contains the compressed data, `NULL` otherwise.

Since
  1.14

Eina_Binbuf* emile_decompress | ( | const Eina_Binbuf * | in,
|  | Emile_Compressor_Type | t,
|  | unsigned int | dest_length
| ) |  |

Uncompress a buffer into a newly allocated buffer.

Parameters

  in | Buffer to uncompress.
  t | Type of compression logic to use.
  dest_length | Expected length of the decompressed data.

Returns
  a newly allocated buffer with the uncompressed data, `NULL` if it failed.

Since
  1.14

Note
  That if dest_length doesn't match the expanded data, it will just fail and return `NULL`.

Eina_Bool emile_expand | ( | const Eina_Binbuf * | in,
|  | Eina_Binbuf * | out,
|  | Emile_Compressor_Type | t
| ) |  |

Uncompress a buffer into an existing buffer.

Parameters

  in | Buffer to uncompress.
  out | Buffer to expand data into.
  t | Type of compression logic to use.

Returns
  EINA_TRUE if it succeed, EINA_FALSE if it failed.

Since
  1.14

Note
  The out buffer should have the necessary size to hold the expanded data or it will fail. In case of failure, random garbage could fill the out buffer.
