type.
If the incompatible bit "Compression type" is set: the field
- must be present and non-zero (which means non-zlib
+ must be present and non-zero (which means non-deflate
compression type). Otherwise, this field must not be present
- or must be zero (which means zlib).
+ or must be zero (which means deflate).
Available compression type values:
- 0: zlib <https://www.zlib.net/>
+ 0: deflate <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt>
1: zstd <http://github.com/facebook/zstd>
+ The deflate compression type is called "zlib"
+ <https://www.zlib.net/> in QEMU. However, clusters with the
+ deflate compression type do not have zlib headers.
