    @class wxZlibOutputStream

    This stream compresses all data written to it. The compressed output can be
    in zlib or gzip format.
    Note that writing the gzip format requires zlib version 1.2.1 or greater
    (the builtin version does support gzip format).

    The stream is not seekable, wxOutputStream::SeekO returns
     @e wxInvalidOffset.

        0 means no compression and 9 best but slowest compression. -1 is default
        value (currently equivalent to 6).

        will be in zlib or gzip format. wxZLIB_ZLIB is the default.

        without either zlib or gzip headers. This is a lower level
        mode, which is not usually used directly. It can be used to embed a raw
        deflate stream in a higher level protocol.

        The @a flags wxZLIB_ZLIB and wxZLIB_GZIP specify whether the input data
        is in zlib or gzip format. If wxZLIB_AUTO is used, then zlib will
        autodetect the stream type, this is the default.
        If @a flags is wxZLIB_NO_HEADER, then the data is assumed to be a raw

        mode, which is not usually used directly. It can be used to read a raw

        wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE for flags. Note that in when operating in compatibility
        mode error checking is very much reduced.
