Class GZIPOutputStream

Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable

public class GZIPOutputStream
extends DeflaterOutputStream

This filter stream is used to compress a stream into a "GZIP" stream. The "GZIP" format is described in RFC 1952.
Since:
JDK 1.1

Field Summary

protected CRC32
crc
CRC-32 value for uncompressed data

out

Constructor Summary

GZIPOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Creates a GZIPOutputStream with the default buffer size
GZIPOutputStream(OutputStream out, int size)
Creates a GZIPOutputStream with the specified buffer size

Method Summary

void
close()
Writes remaining compressed output data to the output stream and closes it.
void
finish()
Finishes the stream by calling finish() on the deflater.
void
write(byte[] buf, int off, int len)
Writes a len bytes from an array to the compressed stream.

Constructor Details

GZIPOutputStream

public GZIPOutputStream(OutputStream out)
            throws IOException
Creates a GZIPOutputStream with the default buffer size
Parameters:
out - The stream to read data (to be compressed) from

GZIPOutputStream

public GZIPOutputStream(OutputStream out,
                        int size)
            throws IOException
Creates a GZIPOutputStream with the specified buffer size
Parameters:
out - The stream to read compressed data from
size - Size of the buffer to use

Method Details

close

public void close()
            throws IOException
Writes remaining compressed output data to the output stream and closes it.
Specified by:
close in interface Closeable
Overrides:
close in interface DeflaterOutputStream

finish

public void finish()
            throws IOException
Finishes the stream by calling finish() on the deflater. This was the only way to ensure that all bytes are flushed in Sun's JDK.
Overrides:
finish in interface DeflaterOutputStream

write

public void write(byte[] buf,
                  int off,
                  int len)
            throws IOException
Writes a len bytes from an array to the compressed stream.
Overrides:
write in interface DeflaterOutputStream
Parameters:
buf - the byte array.
off - the offset into the byte array where to start.
len - the number of bytes to write.
