Move from zlib to pigz

Recently I've informed about pigz compression tool. After downloading and installing it, the benchmark results have been pretty good.

I have implemented a custom streambuf for writing gzipped files (also with ability of sink operations). My question is: is it possible to move from zlib to pigz, i.e somehow replace zlib functions (gzwrite, gzseek, gzopen...) with equivalent multi-threaded versions from pigz in mentioned streambuf implementation? Actually I did not find any documentation about how to use pigz as a library like zlib.

pigz is not a library. You would need to adapt the source code in pigz for use in other applications. That would take some work.
