Struct GzDecoder 

pub struct GzDecoder<R> { /* private fields */ }

A decoder for a single member of a gzip file.

This structure implements a Read interface. When read from, it reads compressed data from the underlying BufRead and provides the uncompressed data.

After reading a single member of the gzip data this reader will return Ok(0) even if there are more bytes available in the underlying reader. If you need the following bytes, call into_inner() after Ok(0) to recover the underlying reader.

To handle gzip files that may have multiple members, see MultiGzDecoder or read more in the introduction.

Examples

use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io;
use ai_flate2::bufread::GzDecoder;

// Uncompresses a Gz Encoded vector of bytes and returns a string or error
// Here &[u8] implements BufRead

fn decode_reader(bytes: Vec<u8>) -> io::Result<String> {
   let mut gz = GzDecoder::new(&bytes[..]);
   let mut s = String::new();
   gz.read_to_string(&mut s)?;
   Ok(s)
}

Implementations

impl<R: BufRead> GzDecoder<R>

pub fn new(r: R) -> GzDecoder<R>

Creates a new decoder from the given reader, immediately parsing the gzip header.

impl<R> GzDecoder<R>

pub fn header(&self) -> Option<&GzHeader>

Returns the header associated with this stream, if it was valid

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &R

Acquires a reference to the underlying reader.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut R

Acquires a mutable reference to the underlying stream.

Note that mutation of the stream may result in surprising results if this decoder is continued to be used.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes this decoder, returning the underlying reader.

pub fn reset(&mut self, r: R) -> R

Resets the state of this decoder entirely, swapping out the input stream for another.

This will reset the internal state of this decoder and replace the input stream with the one provided, returning the previous input stream. Future data read from this decoder will be the decompressed version of r’s data.
