Struct flate2::bufread::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 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.
