Struct flate2::read::MultiGzDecoder

pub struct MultiGzDecoder<R> { /* fields omitted */ }

A gzip streaming decoder that decodes all members of a multistream

A gzip member consists of a header, compressed data and a trailer. The gzip specification, however, allows multiple gzip members to be joined in a single stream. MultiGzDecoder will decode all consecutive members while GzDecoder will only decompress the first gzip member. The multistream format is commonly used in bioinformatics, for example when using the BGZF compressed data.

This structure exposes a Read interface that will consume all gzip members from the underlying reader and emit uncompressed data.

Examples

use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io;
use flate2::read::MultiGzDecoder;

// Uncompresses a Gz Encoded vector of bytes and returns a string or error
// Here &[u8] implements Read

fn decode_reader(bytes: Vec<u8>) -> io::Result<String> {
   let mut gz = MultiGzDecoder::new(&bytes[..]);
   let mut s = String::new();
   gz.read_to_string(&mut s)?;
   Ok(s)
}

Implementations

impl<R: Read> MultiGzDecoder<R>

pub fn new(r: R) -> MultiGzDecoder<R>

Creates a new decoder from the given reader, immediately parsing the (first) gzip header. If the gzip stream contains multiple members all will be decoded.

impl<R> MultiGzDecoder<R>

pub fn header(&self) -> Option<&GzHeader>

Returns the current header associated with this stream, if it’s valid.

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &R

Acquires a reference to the underlying reader.

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

Acquires a mutable reference to the underlying stream.

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

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes this decoder, returning the underlying reader.

Trait Implementations

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<R: Read> Read for MultiGzDecoder<R>

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

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, returning how many bytes were read.

pub fn read_vectored(
    &mut self,
    bufs: &mut [IoSliceMut<'_>]
) -> Result<usize, Error>

Like read, except that it reads into a slice of buffers.

pub 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.

pub unsafe fn initializer(&self) -> Initializer

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

Determines if this Reader can work with buffers of uninitialized memory.

pub 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.

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

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

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

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

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

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

pub fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self>

Transforms this Read instance to an Iterator over its bytes.

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

Creates an adaptor which will chain this stream with another.
