Hi,

can anyone please point me to a library that provides interfaces for
compressing multiple buffers/streams into a single buffer using
standard algorithms.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your reply.

But what exactly I need is an interface which will be capable of
compressing multiple buffers into a single buffer.

AFAIK, gzip takes one file; compresses it.

You can concatenate several files into one compressed file:
cat *.buffer|gzip>compressed.buffer.gz


Behind gzip, there's zlib http://www.zlib.net/, the library which you
can use to implement your function, if you want to do the compression
in memory.  Read: http://www.zlib.net/manual.html
