      The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm.  Use the
    value Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY for normal data, Z_FILTERED for data produced by a
-   filter (or predictor), Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY to force Huffman encoding only (no
-   string match), or Z_RLE to limit match distances to one (run-length
-   encoding).  Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a somewhat
-   random distribution.  In this case, the compression algorithm is tuned to
-   compress them better.  The effect of Z_FILTERED is to force more Huffman
-   coding and less string matching; it is somewhat intermediate between
-   Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY.  Z_RLE is designed to be almost as
-   fast as Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY, but give better compression for PNG image data.  The
-   strategy parameter only affects the compression ratio but not the
-   correctness of the compressed output even if it is not set appropriately.
-   Z_FIXED prevents the use of dynamic Huffman codes, allowing for a simpler
-   decoder for special applications.
