class Zlib::GzipWriter

Zlib::GzipWriter is a class for writing gzipped files. GzipWriter should be used with an instance of IO, or IO-like, object.

Following two example generate the same result.

Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz|
  gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'
end

File.open('hoge.gz', 'w') do |f|
  gz = Zlib::GzipWriter.new(f)
  gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'
  gz.close
end

To make like gzip(1) does, run following:

orig = 'hoge.txt'
Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz|
  gz.mtime = File.mtime(orig)
  gz.orig_name = orig
  gz.write IO.binread(orig)
end

NOTE: Due to the limitation of Ruby's finalizer, you must explicitly close GzipWriter objects by Zlib::GzipFile#close etc. Otherwise, GzipWriter will be not able to write the gzip footer and will generate a broken gzip file.

Public Class Methods

Zlib::GzipWriter.new(io, level = nil, strategy = nil, options = {}) click to toggle source

Creates a GzipWriter object associated with io. level and strategy should be the same as the arguments of Zlib::Deflate.new. The GzipWriter object writes gzipped data to io. io must respond to the write method that behaves the same as IO#write.

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.

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

    if (argc > 1) {
        opt = rb_check_convert_type(argv[argc-1], T_HASH, "Hash", "to_hash");
        if (!NIL_P(opt)) argc--;
    }

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "12", &io, &level, &strategy);
    Data_Get_Struct(obj, struct gzfile, gz);

    /* this is undocumented feature of zlib */
    gz->level = ARG_LEVEL(level);
    err = deflateInit2(&gz->z.stream, gz->level, Z_DEFLATED,
                       -MAX_WBITS, DEF_MEM_LEVEL, ARG_STRATEGY(strategy));
    if (err != Z_OK) {
        raise_zlib_error(err, gz->z.stream.msg);
    }
    gz->io = io;
    ZSTREAM_READY(&gz->z);
    rb_gzfile_ecopts(gz, opt);

    if (rb_respond_to(io, id_path)) {
        gz->path = rb_funcall(gz->io, id_path, 0);
        rb_define_singleton_method(obj, "path", rb_gzfile_path, 0);
    }

    return obj;
}
Zlib::GzipWriter.open(filename, level=nil, strategy=nil) { |gz| ... } click to toggle source

Opens a file specified by filename for writing gzip compressed data, and returns a GzipWriter object associated with that file. Further details of this method are found in ::new and Zlib::GzipFile.wrap.

static VALUE
rb_gzwriter_s_open(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
    return gzfile_s_open(argc, argv, klass, "wb");
}

Public Instance Methods

<<(p1) click to toggle source

Document-method: << Same as IO.

#define rb_gzwriter_addstr  rb_io_addstr
comment=(p1) click to toggle source

Specify the comment (str) in the gzip header.

static VALUE
rb_gzfile_set_comment(VALUE obj, VALUE str)
{
    struct gzfile *gz = get_gzfile(obj);
    VALUE s;
    char *p;

    if (gz->z.flags & GZFILE_FLAG_HEADER_FINISHED) {

    }
    gz->comment = s;
    return str;
}
flush(flush=nil) click to toggle source

Flushes all the internal buffers of the GzipWriter object. The meaning of flush is same as in Zlib::Deflate#deflate. Zlib::SYNC_FLUSH is used if flush is omitted. It is no use giving flush Zlib::NO_FLUSH.

static VALUE
rb_gzwriter_flush(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj)
{
    struct gzfile *gz = get_gzfile(obj);
    VALUE v_flush;

    }

        rb_funcall(gz->io, id_flush, 0);
    }
    return obj;
}
mtime=(p1) click to toggle source

Specify the modification time (mtime) in the gzip header. Using a Fixnum or Integer

static VALUE

    gz->mtime = NUM2UINT(val);

}
