+Test the nx-gzip function:
+=========================
+
+Verify that following device exists:
+  /dev/crypto/nx-gzip
+If you get a permission error run as sudo or set the device permissions:
+   sudo chmod go+rw /dev/crypto/nx-gzip
+However, chmod may not survive across boots. You may create a udev file such
+as:
+   /etc/udev/rules.d/99-nx-gzip.rules
+
+
+Then make and run:
+$ make
+gcc -O3 -I./inc -o gzfht_test gzfht_test.c gzip_vas.c
+gcc -O3 -I./inc -o gunz_test gunz_test.c gzip_vas.c
+
+
+Compress any file using Fixed Huffman mode. Output will have a .nx.gz suffix:
+$ ./gzfht_test gzip_vas.c
+file gzip_vas.c read, 5276 bytes
+compressed 5276 to 2564 bytes total, crc32 checksum = b937a37d
+
+
+Uncompress the previous output. Output will have a .nx.gunzip suffix:
+$ ./gunz_test gzip_vas.c.nx.gz
+gzHeader FLG 0
+00 00 00 00 04 03
+gzHeader MTIME, XFL, OS ignored
+computed checksum b937a37d isize 0000149c
+stored   checksum b937a37d isize 0000149c
+decomp is complete: fclose
+
+
+Compare two files:
+$ sha1sum gzip_vas.c.nx.gz.nx.gunzip gzip_vas.c
+f041cd8581e8d920f79f6ce7f65411be5d026c2a  gzip_vas.c.nx.gz.nx.gunzip
+f041cd8581e8d920f79f6ce7f65411be5d026c2a  gzip_vas.c
+
+
+Note that the code here are intended for testing the nx-gzip hardware function.
+They are not intended for demonstrating performance or compression ratio.
