zlib stream buffer problem

here's the code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <zlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define MAXLINE 1024;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

	int fdin,fdout,status;
	int count;
	char inputBuffer[MAXLINE];
	char outputBuffer[MAXLINE];
	struct z_stream_s zin;
	size_t bytes;


	if(argc != 3)
	{
		fprintf(stderr,"usage: zcomp infile outfile");
		return 0;
	}

	if((fdin = open(argv[1],O_RDONLY))<0)
	{
		fprintf(stderr,"open() failed\n%s\n",argv[1]);
		return 0;
	}
	if((fdout = open(argv[2],O_RDWR | O_CREAT))<0)
	{
		fprintf(stderr,"open() failed\n%s\n",argv[2]);
		return 0;
	}
	bytes = read(fdin,inputBuffer,1024);
	deflateInit(&zin,Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION);
	zin.next_in = inputBuffer;
	zin.next_out = outputBuffer;
	while(zin.total_in != bytes && zin.total_out < 1024)
	{
		zin.avail_in = zin.avail_out = 1;
		deflate(&zin,Z_NO_FLUSH);
	}
	bytes = write(fdout,outputBuffer,zin.total_out);
	printf("bytes written: %d\n",bytes);


	deflateEnd(&zin);

	close(fdin);
	close(fdout);

	return 0;

}

I'm not looking to error check just yet, I'm just trying to get the deflation to work at all.
I run the program on a 744 BYTE source code file and the output is 2 bytes, I can't trace the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

Your code looks something like this:

Code:

	char inputBuffer[MAXLINE;];
	char outputBuffer[MAXLINE;];

since you have a simi-colon in your #define. -- That's probably not good.

Another thing is where do you tell zlib how much data to decompress? I've not used zlib, but I'm thinking you should set up the output size buffer FIRST within zlib.
