## Constants
<!--type=misc-->
All of the constants defined in zlib.h are also defined on
`require('zlib')`. They are described in more detail in the zlib
documentation. See <http://zlib.net/manual.html#Constants>
for more details.

## Memory Usage Tuning

fewer calls to zlib, since it'll be able to process more data in a
single `write` operation. So, this is another factor that affects the
speed, at the cost of memory usage.

All of the constants defined in zlib.h are also defined on
`require('zlib')`.
In the normal course of operations, you will not need to ever set any of
these. They are documented here so that their presence is not
surprising. This section is taken almost directly from the [zlib
documentation](http://zlib.net/manual.html#Constants). See
<http://zlib.net/manual.html#Constants> for more details.

* `zlib.Z_TREES`
Return codes for the compression/decompression functions. Negative
