+.
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In zlib.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn deflateCopy "z_streamp dest" "z_streamp source"
+.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Sets the destination stream
+as a complete copy of the source stream.
+.
+.Pp
+This function can be useful when
+several compression strategies will be tried,
+for example when there are several ways of
+pre-processing the input data with a filter.
+The streams that will be discarded
+should then be freed by calling
+.Xr deflateEnd 3 .
+Note that
+.Fn deflateCopy
+duplicates the internal compression state
+which can be quite large,
+so this strategy is slow
+and can consume lots of memory.
+.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn deflateCopy
+returns
+.Dv Z_OK
+if success,
+.Dv Z_MEM_ERROR
+if there was not enough memory,
+.Dv Z_STREAM_ERROR
+if the source stream state was inconsistent
+.Po
+such as
+.Fa zalloc
+being
+.Dv Z_NULL
+.Pc .
+.Fa msg
+is left unchanged
+in both source and destination.
