API in C for compress (.Z) ?
Hi all,

I would like to know if an API for compress (.Z) exists in C ?

I want to write a program which process a large number of data files with efficient compression at the end.

Thanks

Hi,

Take a look to 'zlib.h'

Excuse me, but I forgot to tell you that it's for AIX Smilie

I want to compress files (.Z), and AIX uncompress command must be able to uncompress them.

Sorry fpmurphy for this double post Smilie

I think that this post would be better in the C Forum that in the AIX one.

Just use C "exec" and call "compress" command Smilie
