Detailed Description

This stream will decompress a source-stream using zlib.

Tip: if you're reading lots of small items from one of these streams, you can increase the performance enormously by passing it through a BufferedInputStream, so that it has to read larger blocks less often.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GZIPDecompressorInputStream::GZIPDecompressorInputStream ( InputStream sourceStream,
bool  deleteSourceWhenDestroyed,
bool  noWrap = false,
int64  uncompressedStreamLength = -1 
)

Creates a decompressor stream.

Parameters:
sourceStreamthe stream to read from
deleteSourceWhenDestroyedwhether or not to delete the source stream when this object is destroyed
noWrapthis is used internally by the ZipFile class and should be ignored by user applications
uncompressedStreamLengthif the creator knows the length that the uncompressed stream will be, then it can supply this value, which will be returned by getTotalLength()
GZIPDecompressorInputStream::GZIPDecompressorInputStream ( InputStream sourceStream )

Creates a decompressor stream.

Parameters:
sourceStreamthe stream to read from - the source stream must not be deleted until this object has been destroyed
GZIPDecompressorInputStream::~GZIPDecompressorInputStream (  )

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

int64 GZIPDecompressorInputStream::getPosition (  ) [virtual]

Returns the offset of the next byte that will be read from the stream.

See also:
setPosition

Implements InputStream.

bool GZIPDecompressorInputStream::setPosition ( int64  newPosition ) [virtual]

Tries to move the current read position of the stream.

The position is an absolute number of bytes from the stream's start.

Some streams might not be able to do this, in which case they should do nothing and return false. Others might be able to manage it by resetting themselves and skipping to the correct position, although this is obviously a bit slow.

Returns:
true if the stream manages to reposition itself correctly
See also:
getPosition

Implements InputStream.

int64 GZIPDecompressorInputStream::getTotalLength (  ) [virtual]

Returns the total number of bytes available for reading in this stream.

Note that this is the number of bytes available from the start of the stream, not from the current position.

If the size of the stream isn't actually known, this may return -1.

Implements InputStream.

bool GZIPDecompressorInputStream::isExhausted (  ) [virtual]

Returns true if the stream has no more data to read.

Implements InputStream.

int GZIPDecompressorInputStream::read ( void *  destBuffer,
int  maxBytesToRead 
) [virtual]

Reads a set of bytes from the stream into a memory buffer.

This is the only read method that subclasses actually need to implement, as the InputStream base class implements the other read methods in terms of this one (although it's often more efficient for subclasses to implement them directly).

Parameters:
destBufferthe destination buffer for the data
maxBytesToReadthe maximum number of bytes to read - make sure the memory block passed in is big enough to contain this many bytes.
Returns:
the actual number of bytes that were read, which may be less than maxBytesToRead if the stream is exhausted before it gets that far

Implements InputStream.
