class Zlib::GzipReader

Zlib::GzipReader is the class for reading a gzipped file. GzipReader should be used as 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 Zlib::GzipReader#read, Zlib::GzipReader#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 Zlib::GzipReader#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 = {})

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.

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

    TypedData_Get_Struct(obj, struct gzfile, &gzfile_data_type, gz);
    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "1:", &io, &opt);

    /* this is undocumented feature of zlib */
    err = inflateInit2(&gz->z.stream, -MAX_WBITS);
    if (err != Z_OK) {
        raise_zlib_error(err, gz->z.stream.msg);
    }
    gz->io = io;

        rb_rescue2(gzfile_initialize_path_partial, obj, NULL, Qnil, rb_eIOError, (VALUE)0);
    }

    return obj;
}

Zlib::GzipReader.open(filename) {|gz| ... }

Opens a file specified by filename as a gzipped file, and returns a GzipReader object associated with that file. Further details of this method are in Zlib::GzipReader.new and ZLib::GzipFile.wrap.

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

Zlib::GzipReader.zcat(io, options = {}, &block) → nil

Zlib::GzipReader.zcat(io, options = {}) → string

Decompresses all gzip data in the io, handling multiple gzip streams until the end of the io. There should not be any non-gzip data after the gzip streams.

If a block is given, it is yielded strings of uncompressed data, and the method returns nil. If a block is not given, the method returns the concatenation of all uncompressed data in all gzip streams.

rb_gzreader_s_zcat(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
    VALUE io, unused, obj, buf=0, tmpbuf;

        else {
            if (!buf) {
                buf = rb_str_new(0, 0);
            }
            tmpbuf = gzfile_read_all(get_gzfile(obj), Qnil);
