;;; Commentary: 

;; This package implements low-level support for reading, writing,
;; and loading compressed files.  It hooks into the low-level file
;; I/O functions (including write-region and insert-file-contents) so
;; that they automatically compress or uncompress a file if the file
;; appears to need it (based on the extension of the file name).
;; Packages like Rmail, VM, GNUS, and Info should be able to work
;; with compressed files without modification.


;; INSTRUCTIONS:
;;
;; To use jka-compr, simply load this package, and edit as usual.
;; Its operation should be transparent to the user (except for
;; messages appearing when a file is being compressed or
;; uncompressed).
;;
;; The variable, jka-compr-compression-info-list can be used to
;; customize jka-compr to work with other compression programs.
;; The default value of this variable allows jka-compr to work with
;; Unix compress and gzip.
;;
;; If you are concerned about the stderr output of gzip and other
;; compression/decompression programs showing up in your buffers, you
;; should set the discard-error flag in the compression-info-list.
;; This will cause the stderr of all programs to be discarded.
;; However, it also causes emacs to call compression/uncompression
;; programs through a shell (which is specified by jka-compr-shell).
;; This may be a drag if, on your system, starting up a shell is
;; slow.
;;
;; If you don't want messages about compressing and decompressing
;; to show up in the echo area, you can set the compress-name and
;; decompress-name fields of the jka-compr-compression-info-list to
;; nil.


;; APPLICATION NOTES:
;;
;; crypt++
;;   jka-compr can coexist with crpyt++ if you take all the decompression
;;   entries out of the crypt-encoding-list.  Clearly problems will arise if
;;   you have two programs trying to compress/decompress files.  jka-compr
;;   will not "work with" crypt++ in the following sense: you won't be able to
;;   decode encrypted compressed files--that is, files that have been
;;   compressed then encrypted (in that order).  Theoretically, crypt++ and
;;   jka-compr could properly handle a file that has been encrypted then
;;   compressed, but there is little point in trying to compress an encrypted
;;   file.

;; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
;; 
;; jka-compr is a V19 adaptation of jka-compr for V18 of Emacs.  Many people
;; have made helpful suggestions, reported bugs, and even fixed bugs in 
;; jka-compr.  I recall the following people as being particularly helpful.
;;
;;   Jean-loup Gailly
;;   David Hughes
;;   Richard Pieri
;;   Daniel Quinlan
;;   Chris P. Ross
;;   Rick Sladkey
;;
;; Andy Norman's ange-ftp was the inspiration for the original jka-compr for
;; Version 18 of Emacs.
;;
;; After I had made progress on the original jka-compr for V18, I learned of a
;; package written by Kazushi Jam Marukawa, called jam-zcat, that did exactly
;; what I was trying to do.  I looked over the jam-zcat source code and
;; probably got some ideas from it.

;;; Code:

(defvar jka-compr-shell "sh"
  "*Shell to be used for calling compression programs.
The value of this variable only matters if you want to discard the
stderr of a compression/decompression program (see the documentation
for `jka-compr-compression-info-list').")

  "List of vectors that describe available compression techniques.
Each element, which describes a compression technique, is a vector of
the form [REGEXP COMPRESS-MSG COMPRESS-PROGRAM COMPRESS-ARGS
UNCOMPRESS-MSG UNCOMPRESS-PROGRAM UNCOMPRESS-ARGS
APPEND-FLAG EXTENSION], where:

   regexp                is a regexp that matches filenames that are
                         compressed with this format

   compress-msg          is the message to issue to the user when doing this
                         type of compression (nil means no message)

   compress-program      is a program that performs this compression

   compress-args         is a list of args to pass to the compress program

   uncompress-msg        is the message to issue to the user when doing this
                         type of uncompression (nil means no message)

   uncompress-program    is a program that performs this compression

   uncompress-args       is a list of args to pass to the uncompress program

   append-flag           is non-nil if this compression technique can be
                         appended

   auto-mode flag        non-nil means strip the regexp from file names
                         before attempting to set the mode.

Because of the way `call-process' is defined, discarding the stderr output of
a program adds the overhead of starting a shell each time the program is
invoked.")
