/*

    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: dclib_example (-c|-d) --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.
        --out <arg>              This option takes one argument which specifies the
                                 name of the output file.
