+ The gzlog object allows writing short messages to a gzipped log file,
+ opening the log file locked for small bursts, and then closing it. The log
+ object works by appending stored data to the gzip file until 1 MB has been
+ accumulated. At that time, the stored data is compressed, and replaces the
+ uncompressed data in the file. The log file is truncated to its new size at
+ that time. After closing, the log file is always valid gzip file that can
+ decompressed to recover what was written.
+
+ A gzip header "extra" field contains two file offsets for appending. The
+ first points to just after the last compressed data. The second points to
+ the last stored block in the deflate stream, which is empty. All of the
+ data between those pointers is uncompressed.
