Zlib::Inflate (Class)

In: zlib/zlib.c
Parent: Zlib::ZStream

Zlib:Inflate is the class for decompressing compressed data. Unlike Zlib::Deflate, an instance of this class is not able to duplicate (clone, dup) itself.

Public Class methods

Decompresses string. Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression.

This method is almost equivalent to the following code:

  def inflate(string)
    zstream = Zlib::Inflate.new
    buf = zstream.inflate(string)
    zstream.finish
    zstream.close
    buf
  end

Creates a new inflate stream for decompression. See zlib.h for details of the argument. If window_bits is nil, the default value is used.

Public Instance methods

Same as IO.

[Source]

/*

 * returns the Zlib::Inflate object itself.  The output from the stream is
 * preserved in output buffer.

    if (ZSTREAM_IS_FINISHED(z)) {
	if (!NIL_P(src)) {
	    StringValue(src);
	    zstream_append_buffer2(z, src);
	}
    }
    else {
	do_inflate(z, src);
	if (ZSTREAM_IS_FINISHED(z)) {
	    zstream_passthrough_input(z);
	}
    }

    return obj;
}

Inputs string into the inflate stream and returns the output from the stream. Calling this method, both the input and the output buffer of the stream are flushed. If string is nil, this method finishes the stream, just like Zlib::ZStream#finish.

Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed to decompress. Set the dictionary by Zlib::Inflate#set_dictionary and then call this method again with an empty string. (???)

Sets the preset dictionary and returns string. This method is available just only after a Zlib::NeedDict exception was raised. See zlib.h for details.

Inputs string into the end of input buffer and skips data until a full flush point can be found. If the point is found in the buffer, this method flushes the buffer and returns false. Otherwise it returns true and the following data of full flush point is preserved in the buffer.
