I have a problem with igzip

[gq_L_]

Hi!
I am studying about compression algorithm and software.
I have question about igzip. I download igzip library in intel homepage.
But I don`t know how to make wrapper.
Can you send me 'example of wrapper' or 'example code' or 'manual'?
I read homepage and saw a simple application.
I don`t know how to input target file for compression and to output compression file
and how to decompression?
Do I make code about 'fast_lz and init_stream' function by myself?
Plz help me.
thank you
