zlib and zip files

Hi,
I need to decompress zip archive. I wrote a parser of zip file, i obtain
the compressed data, but when i call zlib.decompress (data) on them,
it throws this error:

decbuf = decompressor.de compress(compre ssed_data)

error: Error -3 while decompressing: unknown compression method

I try to compress by zlib the same data which are in that file, the
result was 6 bytes bigger, '\x78\xda' on begin and '\xc9\x1f\x87\x 0b' on end
when i tried to put this extending data to zlib decompressor, it
decompress some files of zip archive, but it fails, when i try to
decompress 100MB file from archive

could you help, please?
thanks
Honza

Hi, Not sure if this is a proper ng to post this question. Is here anybody who has used zlib? I downloaded 1.2.1 of zlib from www.gzip.org/zlib (for windows 98/nt/2000/xp), and used it in my program to zip/unzip files. When I use the zipper class in zlib to zip a folder, I got a zip file with the SAME SIZE of zip file created (on the same folder) with the 'ZipTest' program downloaded from the site. But the problem is that the zip file...

Hello all, I m not sure if it is the good newsgroup, please fu to the correct one if you know (already tried comp.compression with no answer) I m really knew to the use of the zlib in C++ to compress files. I think I understand how to compress a single file but not how to compress a whole folder containing subfolder and files.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
