// Illustrate the use of Z_BLOCK, inflatePrime(), and inflateSetDictionary()
// for random access of a compressed file. A file containing a raw deflate
// stream is provided on the command line. The compressed stream is decoded in
// its entirety, and an index built with access points about every SPAN bytes
// in the uncompressed output. The compressed file is left open, and can then
// be read randomly, having to decompress on the average SPAN/2 uncompressed
// bytes before getting to the desired block of data.
//
// An access point can be created at the start of any deflate block, by saving
// the starting file offset and bit of that block, and the 32K bytes of
// uncompressed data that precede that block. Also the uncompressed offset of
// that block is saved to provide a reference for locating a desired starting
// point in the uncompressed stream. deflate_index_build() decompresses the
// input raw deflate stream a block at a time, and at the end of each block
// decides if enough uncompressed data has gone by to justify the creation of a
// new access point. If so, that point is saved in a data structure that grows
// as needed to accommodate the points.
//
// To use the index, an offset in the uncompressed data is provided, for which
// the latest access point at or preceding that offset is located in the index.
// The input file is positioned to the specified location in the index, and if
// necessary the first few bits of the compressed data is read from the file.
// inflate is initialized with those bits and the 32K of uncompressed data, and
// decompression then proceeds until the desired offset in the file is reached.
// Then decompression continues to read the requested uncompressed data from
// the file.
//
// There is some fair bit of overhead to starting inflation for the random
// access, mainly copying the 32K byte dictionary. If small pieces of the file
// are being accessed, it would make sense to implement a cache to hold some
// lookahead to avoid many calls to deflate_index_extract() for small lengths.
//
// Another way to build an index would be to use inflateCopy(). That would not
// be constrained to have access points at block boundaries, but would require
// more memory per access point, and could not be saved to a file due to the
// use of pointers in the state. The approach here allows for storage of the
// index in a file.
