Struct GzEncoder

pub struct GzEncoder<R> { /* private fields */ }

A gzip streaming encoder

This structure implements a Read interface. When read from, it reads uncompressed data from the underlying Read and provides the compressed data.

Examples

use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io;
use flate2::Compression;
use flate2::read::GzEncoder;

// Return a vector containing the GZ compressed version of hello world

fn gzencode_hello_world() -> io::Result<Vec<u8>> {
    let mut ret_vec = Vec::new();
    let bytestring = b"hello world";
    let mut gz = GzEncoder::new(&bytestring[..], Compression::fast());
    gz.read_to_end(&mut ret_vec)?;
    Ok(ret_vec)
}

Implementations

impl<R: Read> GzEncoder<R>

pub fn new(r: R, level: Compression) -> GzEncoder<R>

Creates a new encoder which will use the given compression level.

The encoder is not configured specially for the emitted header. For header configuration, see the GzBuilder type.

The data read from the stream r will be compressed and available through the returned reader.

impl<R> GzEncoder<R>

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 reader.

Note that mutation of the reader may result in surprising results if this encoder is continued to be used.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Returns the underlying stream, consuming this encoder

Trait Implementations

impl<R: Debug> Debug for GzEncoder<R>

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<R: Read> Read for GzEncoder<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.

fn read_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoSliceMut<'_>]) -> Result<usize, Error>

Like read, except that it reads into a slice of buffers.

fn is_read_vectored(&self) -> bool

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

Determines if this Reader has an efficient read_vectored implementation.

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

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

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

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

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

Reads the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

fn read_buf(&mut self, buf: BorrowedCursor<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

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

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified buffer.

fn read_buf_exact(&mut self, cursor: BorrowedCursor<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

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

Reads the exact number of bytes required to fill cursor.

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

where Self: Sized,

Creates a “by reference” adaptor for this instance of Read.

fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Transforms this Read instance to an Iterator over its bytes.

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

where R: Read, Self: Sized,

Creates an adapter which will chain this stream with another.

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

where Self: Sized,

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

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

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

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

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

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

fn write_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &[IoSlice<'_>]) -> Result<usize, Error>

Like write, except that it writes from a slice of buffers.

fn is_write_vectored(&self) -> bool

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

Determines if this Writer has an efficient write_vectored implementation.

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

Attempts to write an entire buffer into this writer.

fn write_all_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoSlice<'_>]) -> Result<(), Error>

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

Attempts to write multiple buffers 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

where Self: Sized,

Creates a “by reference” adapter for this instance of Write.
