xmlSaveFile ()

int         xmlSaveFile                     (const char *filename,
                                             xmlDocPtr cur);

Dump an XML document to a file. Will use compression if compiled in and enabled. If filename is "-" the stdout file is used.

`filename` :	the filename
`cur` :	the document
Returns :	the number of file written or -1 in case of failure.

xmlGetDocCompressMode ()

int         xmlGetDocCompressMode           (xmlDocPtr doc);

get the compression ratio for a document, ZLIB based

`doc` :	the document
Returns :	0 (uncompressed) to 9 (max compression)

xmlSetDocCompressMode ()

void        xmlSetDocCompressMode           (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             int mode);

set the compression ratio for a document, ZLIB based Correct values: 0 (uncompressed) to 9 (max compression)

`doc` :	the document
`mode` :	the compression ratio

xmlGetCompressMode ()

int         xmlGetCompressMode              (void);

get the default compression mode used, ZLIB based.

Returns :

0 (uncompressed) to 9 (max compression)

xmlSetCompressMode ()

void        xmlSetCompressMode              (int mode);

set the default compression mode used, ZLIB based Correct values: 0 (uncompressed) to 9 (max compression)

mode : the compression ratio
