class Flate::Writer

Overview

A write-only IO object to compress data in the DEFLATE format.

Instances of this class wrap another IO object. When you write to this instance, it compresses the data and writes it to the underlying IO.

NOTE unless created with a block, #close must be invoked after all data has been written to a Flate::Writer instance.

Constructor Detail

def self.new(output : IO, level : Int32 = Flate::DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, strategy : Flate::Strategy = Flate::Strategy::DEFAULT, sync_close : Bool = false, dict : Bytes? = nil) #

Creates an instance of Flate::Writer. #close must be invoked after all data has written.

Class Method Detail

def self.open(io : IO, level : Int32 = Flate::DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, strategy : Flate::Strategy = Flate::Strategy::DEFAULT, sync_close : Bool = false, dict : Bytes? = nil, &block) #

Creates a new writer for the given io, yields it to the given block, and closes it at its end.

Instance Method Detail

def close #

Closes this writer. Must be invoked after all data has been written.


[View source]
def closed? : Bool #

Returns true if this IO is closed.


[View source]
def flush #

See IO#flush.


[View source]
def read(slice : Bytes) #

Always raises IO::Error because this is a write-only IO.


[View source]
def sync_close=(sync_close : Bool) #

If #sync_close? is true, closing this IO will close the underlying IO.


[View source]
def sync_close? : Bool #

If #sync_close? is true, closing this IO will close the underlying IO.


[View source]
def write(slice : Bytes) : Nil #

See IO#write.
