    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - getMaxByteCount
```
int getMaxByteCount()
```
    the method is called before each call to deflate. The call to deflate should not write more than the number of bytes returned by this method! It may write less. If a negative value is returned, then a resizeable buffer is used
