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 Read 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. GzDecoder may have read additional bytes past the end of the gzip data. If you need the following bytes, wrap the Reader in a std::io::BufReader and use bufread::GzDecoder instead.

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::read::GzDecoder;

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

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: Read> 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.

Note that the decoder may have read past the end of the gzip data. To prevent this use bufread::GzDecoder instead.

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 continues to be used.

Note that the decoder may have read past the end of the gzip data. To prevent this use bufread::GzDecoder instead.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes this decoder, returning the underlying reader.

Note that the decoder may have read past the end of the gzip data. Subsequent reads will skip those bytes. To prevent this use bufread::GzDecoder instead.
