 The
 .I zlib
 library is a general purpose data compression library.
-The code is thread safe.
+The code is thread safe, assuming that the standard library functions
+used are thread safe, such as memory allocation routines.
 It provides in-memory compression and decompression functions,
 including integrity checks of the uncompressed data.
 This version of the library supports only one compression method (deflation)
-but other algorithms will be added later
-and will have the same stream interface.

+with the same stream interface.
 .LP
 Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large enough
-(for example if an input file is mmap'ed),
 or can be done by repeated calls of the compression function.
 In the latter case,
 the application must provide more input and/or consume the output

 The library does not install any signal handler.
 The decoder checks the consistency of the compressed data,
