/*
This is an example illustrating the use of the compress_stream and
cmd_line_parser components from the dlib C++ Library.
This example implements a simple command line compression utility.
The output from the program when the -h option is given is:
Usage: compress_stream_ex (-c|-d|-l) --in input_file --out output_file
Options:
-c Indicates that we want to compress a file.
-d Indicates that we want to decompress a file.
-h Display this help message.
--in <arg> This option takes one argument which specifies the name of the
file we want to compress/decompress.
-l <arg> Set the compression level [1-3], 3 is max compression, default
is 2.
--out <arg> This option takes one argument which specifies the name of the
output file.
