Inflater is used to decompress data that has been compressed according to the "deflate" standard described in rfc1951. By default Zlib (rfc1950) headers and footers are expected in the input. You can use constructor public Inflater(bool noHeader) passing true if there is no Zlib header information The usage is as following. First you have to set some input with SetInput(), then Inflate() it. If inflate doesn't inflate any bytes there may be three reasons:

• IsNeedingInput() returns true because the input buffer is empty. You have to provide more input with SetInput(). NOTE: IsNeedingInput() also returns true when, the stream is finished.
• IsNeedingDictionary() returns true, you have to provide a preset dictionary with SetDictionary().
• IsFinished returns true, the inflater has finished.

Once the first output byte is produced, a dictionary will not be needed at a later stage. author of the original java version : John Leuner, Jochen Hoenicke
