inflate is the decompression counterpart to the lossless compression algorithm and format deflate. The deflate format was created by Phil Katz of PKWare for the PKZip (.zip) archive format. Public domain software provides deflate and inflate functionality in the gzip utility and the zlib library. (Note that this tag has nothing to do with Android view inflate.)
