Example result

Read the 10-byte base header, then flagged extra data, filename, comment and optional header CRC. Strings end with null bytes.

The default prefix is a 10-byte deflate header with no optional fields or supplied modification time.

Header inspection only. The optional header CRC is reported, not verified. Compressed data, trailer CRC32 and member boundaries are not checked.
