This filter stream decompresses a stream that is in zlib or gzip format. Note that reading the gzip format requires zlib version 1.2.1 or greater, (the builtin version does support gzip format).
The stream is not seekable, SeekI() returns wxInvalidOffset. Also GetSize() is not supported, it always returns 0.

If the parent stream is passed as a pointer then the new filter stream takes ownership of it. If it is passed by reference then it does not.
The flags wxZLIB_ZLIB and wxZLIB_GZIP specify whether the input data is in zlib or gzip format. If wxZLIB_AUTO is used, then zlib will autodetect the stream type, this is the default.
If flags is wxZLIB_NO_HEADER, then the data is assumed to be a raw deflate stream without either zlib or gzip headers. This is a lower level mode, which is not usually used directly. It can be used to read a raw deflate stream embedded in a higher level protocol.
This version is not by default compatible with the output produced by the version of wxZlibOutputStream in wxWidgets 2.4.x. However, there is a compatibility mode, which is switched on by passing wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE for flags. Note that in when operating in compatibility mode error checking is very much reduced. The following symbols can be use for the flags:
// Flags
enum {
#if WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4
wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE = 4, // read v2.4.x data without error
#endif
wxZLIB_NO_HEADER = 0, // raw deflate stream, no header or checksum
wxZLIB_ZLIB = 1, // zlib header and checksum
wxZLIB_GZIP = 2, // gzip header and checksum, requires zlib 1.2.1+
wxZLIB_AUTO = 3 // autodetect header zlib or gzip
};
static bool CanHandleGZip()
Returns true if zlib library in use can handle gzip compressed data.
