Struct flate2::write::GzEncoder

pub struct GzEncoder<W: Write> { /* fields omitted */ }

A gzip streaming encoder

This structure exposes a Write interface that will emit compressed data to the underlying writer W.

Examples

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

// Vec<u8> implements Write to print the compressed bytes of sample string

let mut e = GzEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::default());
e.write_all(b"Hello World").unwrap();
println!("{:?}", e.finish().unwrap());

Implementations

impl<W: Write> GzEncoder<W>

pub fn new(w: W, level: Compression) -> GzEncoder<W>

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 written to the returned encoder will be compressed and then written to the stream w.

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &W

Acquires a reference to the underlying writer.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut W

Acquires a mutable reference to the underlying writer.

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

pub fn try_finish(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Attempt to finish this output stream, writing out final chunks of data.

Note that this function can only be used once data has finished being written to the output stream. After this function is called then further calls to write may result in a panic.

Panics

Attempts to write data to this stream may result in a panic after this function is called.

Errors

This function will perform I/O to complete this stream, and any I/O errors which occur will be returned from this function.

pub fn finish(self) -> Result<W>

Finish encoding this stream, returning the underlying writer once the encoding is done.

Note that this function may not be suitable to call in a situation where the underlying stream is an asynchronous I/O stream. To finish a stream the try_finish (or shutdown) method should be used instead. To re-acquire ownership of a stream it is safe to call this method after try_finish or shutdown has returned Ok.

Errors

This function will perform I/O to complete this stream, and any I/O errors which occur will be returned from this function.

Trait Implementations

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<W: Write> Drop for GzEncoder<W>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

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

fn read(&mut self, buf: &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, Global>) -> Result<usize, Error>

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

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

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

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

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

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

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

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

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

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

fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self>

Transforms this Read instance to an Iterator over its bytes.

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

Creates an adapter which will chain this stream with another.

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

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

impl<W: Write> Write for GzEncoder<W>

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

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

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

Flush 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

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