compress: Compress ADF to ADZ files and vice versa

In adfExplorer: Access and Manipulate Amiga Disk Files

Compress ADF to ADZ files and vice versa

Description

The ADZ format is essentially a compressed (gzip) version of the Amiga Disk File (ADF) format. The adfExplorer allows you to connect to both formats. However, you can only open a 'read-only' connection to ADZ files. Use the compression and decompression functions documented here to move back and forth from and to ADF and ADZ formats.

Usage

compress_adf(source, destination)

decompress_adz(source, destination)

Arguments

source	Path to the source file to read.
destination	Path to the destination file to write.

Value

Returns NULL invisibly.
