<div class="textblock"><p>A structure which abstracts file I/O and memory management. </p>
<p>The library always uses the <a class="el" href="structmspack__system.html" title="A structure which abstracts file I/O and memory management. ">mspack_system</a> structure for interaction with the file system and to allocate, free and copy all memory. It also uses it to send literal messages to the library user.</p>
<p>When the library is compiled normally, passing NULL to a compressor or decompressor constructor will result in a default <a class="el" href="structmspack__system.html" title="A structure which abstracts file I/O and memory management. ">mspack_system</a> being used, where all methods are implemented with the standard C library. However, all constructors support being given a custom created <a class="el" href="structmspack__system.html" title="A structure which abstracts file I/O and memory management. ">mspack_system</a> structure, with the library user's own methods. This allows for more abstract interaction, such as reading and writing files directly to memory, or from a network socket or pipe.</p>
<p>Implementors of an <a class="el" href="structmspack__system.html" title="A structure which abstracts file I/O and memory management. ">mspack_system</a> structure should read all documentation entries for every structure member, and write methods which conform to those standards. </p>
