+   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.

+   called.  If a large amount of data is to be written, then the application
