zlib-cli

Simple CLI utility for the zlib compression format

Contains two complementary CLI utilities, one for compressing, the other for uncompressing i.e zlib-compress and zlib-uncompress.

• Note: Both utils:

• Read either from stdin or from a file on disk passed in as a path.
• Output their result to stdout.
