pub struct ZlibDecoder<R> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A ZLIB decoder, or decompressor.

This structure consumes a BufRead interface, reading compressed data from the underlying reader, and emitting uncompressed data.

Examples

use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io;
use flate2::bufread::ZlibDecoder;

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

fn decode_bufreader(bytes: Vec<u8>) -> io::Result<String> {
    let mut z = ZlibDecoder::new(&bytes[..]);
    let mut s = String::new();
    z.read_to_string(&mut s)?;
    Ok(s)
}

Implementations

Creates a new decoder which will decompress data read from the given stream.

Resets the state of this decoder entirely, swapping out the input stream for another.

This will reset the internal state of this decoder and replace the input stream with the one provided, returning the previous input stream. Future data read from this decoder will be the decompressed version of r’s data.

Acquires a reference to the underlying stream

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.

Consumes this decoder, returning the underlying reader.

Returns the number of bytes that the decompressor has consumed.

Note that this will likely be smaller than what the decompressor actually read from the underlying stream due to buffering.

Returns the number of bytes that the decompressor has produced.
