class Zlib::GzipReader

Zlib::GzipReader is the class for reading a gzipped file. GzipReader should be used 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 #read, #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 #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.

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