zlib.h
tiene todas las funciones que necesita: compress
(o compress2
) y uncompress
. Consulte el código fuente de zlib para obtener una respuesta.
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT compress OF((Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen));
/*
Compresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size
of the destination buffer, which must be at least the value returned by
compressBound(sourceLen). Upon exit, destLen is the actual size of the
compressed buffer.
compress returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
enough memory, Z_BUF_ERROR if there was not enough room in the output
buffer.
*/
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT uncompress OF((Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen));
/*
Decompresses the source buffer into the destination buffer. sourceLen is
the byte length of the source buffer. Upon entry, destLen is the total size
of the destination buffer, which must be large enough to hold the entire
uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data must have been saved
previously by the compressor and transmitted to the decompressor by some
mechanism outside the scope of this compression library.) Upon exit, destLen
is the actual size of the uncompressed buffer.
uncompress returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not
enough memory, Z_BUF_ERROR if there was not enough room in the output
buffer, or Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was corrupted or incomplete. In
the case where there is not enough room, uncompress() will fill the output
buffer with the uncompressed data up to that point.

¿Qué pasa con el ejemplo que mencionó? Comprime un búfer en la memoria, solo lee datos de un archivo primero. Obtienes datos de otro lado, pero el resto es el mismo: ¿por qué no sería? –
