Struct flate2::read::GzDecoder

pub struct GzDecoder<R> { /* fields omitted */ }

A gzip streaming decoder

This structure exposes a Read interface that will consume compressed data from the underlying reader and emit uncompressed data.

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)
}

Important traits for GzDecoder<R>

impl<R: Read> Read for GzDecoder<R>impl<R: Read + Write> Write for 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 encoder is continued to be used.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes this decoder, returning the underlying reader.

Trait Implementations

impl<R: Debug> Debug for GzDecoder<R>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<R: Read> Read for GzDecoder<R>

fn read(&mut self, into: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, returning how many bytes were read.

unsafe fn initializer(&self) -> Initializer

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (read_initializer)

Determines if this Reader can work with buffers of uninitialized memory.

fn read_to_end(&mut self, buf: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

fn read_to_string(&mut self, buf: &mut String) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, appending them to buf.

fn read_exact(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Creates a "by reference" adaptor for this instance of Read.

fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self>

Transforms this Read instance to an [Iterator] over its bytes.

fn chain<R>(self, next: R) -> Chain<Self, R> where
    R: Read, 

Creates an adaptor which will chain this stream with another.

fn take(self, limit: u64) -> Take<Self>

Creates an adaptor which will read at most limit bytes from it.

impl<R: Read + Write> Write for GzDecoder<R>

fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>

Write a buffer into this writer, returning how many bytes were written.

fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flush this output stream, ensuring that all intermediately buffered contents reach their destination.

fn write_all(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Attempts to write an entire buffer into this writer.

fn write_fmt(&mut self, fmt: Arguments) -> Result<(), Error>

Writes a formatted string into this writer, returning any error encountered.

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Creates a "by reference" adaptor for this instance of Write.
