Zlib::GzipReader

Zlib::GzipReader is the class for reading a gzipped file. GzipReader should be used as an IO, or -IO-like, object.

Zlib::GzipReader.open('hoge.gz') {|gz|
  print gz.read
}

File.open('hoge.gz') do |f|
  gz = Zlib::GzipReader.new(f)
  print gz.read
  gz.close
end

Method Catalogue¶ ↑

The following methods in Zlib::GzipReader are just like their counterparts in IO, but they raise Zlib::Error or Zlib::GzipFile::Error exception if an error was found in the gzip file.

Be careful of the footer of the gzip file. A gzip file has the checksum of pre-compressed data in its footer. GzipReader checks all uncompressed data against that checksum at the following cases, and if it fails, raises Zlib::GzipFile::NoFooter, Zlib::GzipFile::CRCError, or Zlib::GzipFile::LengthError exception.

When an reading request is received beyond the end of file (the end of compressed data). That is, when Zlib::GzipReader#read, Zlib::GzipReader#gets, or some other methods for reading returns nil.
When Zlib::GzipFile#close method is called after the object reaches the end of file.
When Zlib::GzipReader#unused method is called after the object reaches the end of file.

The rest of the methods are adequately described in their own documentation.

Public Class Methods

Zlib::GzipReader.new(io, options = {}) click to toggle source

Creates a GzipReader object associated with io. The GzipReader object reads gzipped data from io, and parses/decompresses it. The io must have a read method that behaves same as the IO#read.

The options hash may be used to set the encoding of the data. :external_encoding, :internal_encoding and :encoding may be set as in IO::new.

If the gzip file header is incorrect, raises an Zlib::GzipFile::Error exception.

 
               static VALUE
rb_gzreader_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj)
{
    VALUE io, opt = Qnil;
    struct gzfile *gz;
    int err;

    TypedData_Get_Struct(obj, struct gzfile, &gzfile_data_type, gz);
    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "1:", &io, &opt);

    /* this is undocumented feature of zlib */
    err = inflateInit2(&gz->z.stream, -MAX_WBITS);
    if (err != Z_OK) {
        raise_zlib_error(err, gz->z.stream.msg);
    }
    gz->io = io;
    ZSTREAM_READY(&gz->z);
    gzfile_read_header(gz);
    rb_gzfile_ecopts(gz, opt);

        rb_define_singleton_method(obj, "path", rb_gzfile_path, 0);
    }

    return obj;
}

Zlib::GzipReader.open(filename) {|gz| ... } click to toggle source

Opens a file specified by filename as a gzipped file, and returns a GzipReader object associated with that file. Further details of this method are in Zlib::GzipReader.new and ZLib::GzipFile.wrap.

 
               static VALUE

Returns the rest of the data which had read for parsing gzip format, or nil if the whole gzip file is not parsed yet.
