This function returns a compressed version of the input
<parameter>data</parameter> compatible with the output of the
<command>gzip</command> program.

<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>level</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The level of compression. Can be given as 0 for no compression up to 9
for maximum compression. If not given, the default compression level will
be the default compression level of the zlib library.
</para>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<para>
The encoding mode. Can be <constant>FORCE_GZIP</constant> (the default)
or <constant>FORCE_DEFLATE</constant>.
</para>
<para>
If you use <constant>FORCE_DEFLATE</constant>, you get a standard zlib
deflated string (inclusive zlib headers) after the gzip file header but
without the trailing crc32 checksum.
