.I val output_value

.ft B
Compression\&.output_value chan v
.ft R
writes the representation
of 
.ft B
v
.ft R
on channel 
.ft B
chan
.ft R
\&.
If compression is supported, the marshaled data
representing value 
.ft B
v
.ft R
is compressed before being written to
channel 
.ft B
chan
.ft R
\&.
If compression is not supported, this function behaves like
.ft B
output_value
.ft R
\&.

.sp

.I val input_value 
: 
.B in_channel -> 'a
.sp

.ft B
Compression\&.input_value chan
.ft R
reads from channel 
.ft B
chan
.ft R
the
byte representation of a structured value, as produced by
.ft B
Compression\&.output_value
.ft R
, and reconstructs and
returns the corresponding value\&.
If compression is not supported, this function behaves like
.ft B
input_value
.ft R
\&.

.sp

.I val compression_supported 
: 
.B bool
.sp
Reports whether compression is supported\&.
