Crate gzip_header[−][src]
Expand description
A library to decode and encode headers for the gzip format. The library also contains a reader absctraction over a CRC checksum hasher.
A file in the gzip format contains a gzip header, a number of compressed data blocks in the
DEFLATE format, and ends with the CRC32-checksum
(in the IEEE format) and number of bytes (modulo 2^32
) of the uncompressed data.
The gzip header is purely a set of metadata, and doesn’t have any impact on the decoding of the
compressed data other than the fact that DEFLATE
-encoded data with a gzip-header is
checked using the CRC32 algorithm.
This library is based on the gzip header functionality in the flate2 crate.
Structs
A wrapper struct containing a CRC checksum in the format used by gzip and the amount of bytes input to it mod 2^32.
A reader that updates the checksum and counter of a Crc
struct when reading from the wrapped
reader.
A builder structure to create a new gzip header.
A structure representing the raw header of a gzip stream.
Enums
Valid values for the extra flag in the gzip specification.
An enum describing the different OS types described in the gzip format. See http://www.gzip.org/format.txt (Additionally, the Apple(19) value is defined in the zlib library).
Functions
Try to read a gzip header from the provided reader.
