Return flags indicating compile-time options.Type sizes, two bits each, 00 = 16 bits, 01 = 32, 10 = 64, 11 = other: 1.0: size of uInt 3.2: size of uLong 5.4: size of voidpf (pointer) 7.6: size of z_off_tCompiler, assembler, and debug options: 8: DEBUG 9: ASMV or ASMINF -- use ASM code 10: ZLIB_WINAPI -- exported functions use the WINAPI calling convention 11: 0 (reserved)

One-time table building (smaller code, but not thread-safe if true): 12: BUILDFIXED -- build static block decoding tables when needed 13: DYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE -- build CRC calculation tables when needed 14,15: 0 (reserved)

Library content (indicates missing functionality): 16: NO_GZCOMPRESS -- gz* functions cannot compress (to avoid linking deflate code when not needed) 17: NO_GZIP -- deflate can't write gzip streams, and inflate can't detect and decode gzip streams (to avoid linking crc code) 18-19: 0 (reserved)

Operation variations (changes in library functionality): 20: PKZIP_BUG_WORKAROUND -- slightly more permissive inflate 21: FASTEST -- deflate algorithm with only one, lowest compression level 22,23: 0 (reserved)

The sprintf variant used by gzprintf (zero is best): 24: 0 = vs*, 1 = s* -- 1 means limited to 20 arguments after the format 25: 0 = *nprintf, 1 = *printf -- 1 means gzprintf() not secure! 26: 0 = returns value, 1 = void -- 1 means inferred string length returned
