public int deflateInit( 
   int level,
   int bits
)

Parameters

level

Compression level between zero and nine (0-9).

bits

Size of the LZ77 sliding compression window in bits (the default value is 15 bits).

Return Value

Compression level 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression.

Compression level zero gives no compression at all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time).

The default compression level is 6, which provides a compromise between speed and compression.
