So that's what's going on. But if I have to dup the blocks

management as appropriate.
You could always declare it with extern(C) and call it yourself.
But I didn't realize your thing was a literal example from the
docs. Ugh, can't even trust that.
I suppose i could incorporate a 8 byte header file that has the
length before/after that are 0's and just drop 630Mb from the
data that can be skipped... which is the bulk of the compressed
data. I just hoped to keep it very simple.
Take a look at zlib.d's source
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/source/std.zlib.d.html#L232
It isn't a long function, so if you take that you can copy/paste
the C parts to get you started with your own function that
manages the memory more efficiently to drop the parts you don't
care about.
