[description]
[para]

The [package tcl::transform::zlib] package provides a command creating
a channel transformation which zlib compresses the written data, and
decompresses on reading.

[para] The internal [package TclOO] class implementing the transform
handler is a sub-class of the [package tcl::transform::core]
framework.

[list_begin definitions]

[call [cmd ::tcl::transform::zlib] [arg chan] [opt [arg level]]]

This command creates a zlib compressor transformation on top of the
channel [arg chan] and returns its handle.

[para] The [arg level] specifies how much effort is put into the
compression, from [const 0] to [const 9], and defaults to [const 4].
