Overview

Zlib::GzipWriter is a class for writing gzipped files. GzipWriter should be used with an instance of IO, or IO-like, object.

Following two example generate the same result.

Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz|
  gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'
end

File.open('hoge.gz', 'w') do |f|
  gz = Zlib::GzipWriter.new(f)
  gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'
  gz.close
end

To make like gzip(1) does, run following:

orig = 'hoge.txt'
Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz|
  gz.mtime = File.mtime(orig)
  gz.orig_name = orig
  gz.write IO.binread(orig)
end

NOTE: Due to the limitation of Ruby’s finalizer, you must explicitly close GzipWriter objects by Zlib::GzipWriter#close etc. Otherwise, GzipWriter will be not able to write the gzip footer and will generate a broken gzip file.

Class Method Summary

• .Zlib::GzipWriter.open(filename, level = nil, strategy = nil) {|gz| ... } ⇒ Object

  Opens a file specified by filename for writing gzip compressed data, and returns a GzipWriter object associated with that file.

Constructor Details

#Zlib::GzipWriter.new(io, level = nil, strategy = nil, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Creates a GzipWriter object associated with io. level and strategy should be the same as the arguments of Zlib::Deflate.new. The GzipWriter object writes gzipped data to io. io must respond to the write method that behaves the same as IO#write.

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.

Class Method Details

.Zlib::GzipWriter.open(filename, level = nil, strategy = nil) {|gz| ... } ⇒ Object

Opens a file specified by filename for writing gzip compressed data, and returns a GzipWriter object associated with that file. Further details of this method are found in Zlib::GzipWriter.new and Zlib::GzipFile.wrap.

Yields:

• (gz)

# File 'zlib.c', line 3448

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

Instance Method Details

#<< ⇒ Object

call-seq: << string

Inputs string into the deflate stream just like Zlib::Deflate#deflate, but returns the Zlib::Deflate object itself. The output from the stream is preserved in output buffer.

#comment= ⇒ Object

Specify the comment (str) in the gzip header.

# File 'zlib.c', line 3232

static VALUE
rb_gzfile_set_comment(VALUE obj, VALUE str)
{
    struct gzfile *gz = get_gzfile(obj);
    VALUE s;
    char *p;

    if (gz->z.flags & GZFILE_FLAG_HEADER_FINISHED) {
	rb_raise(cGzError, "header is already written");
    }
    s = rb_str_dup(rb_str_to_str(str));
    p = memchr(RSTRING_PTR(s), '\0', RSTRING_LEN(s));
    if (p) {
	rb_str_resize(s, p - RSTRING_PTR(s));
    }
    gz->comment = s;
    return str;
}

#flush(flush = nil) ⇒ Object

Flushes all the internal buffers of the GzipWriter object. The meaning of flush is same as in Zlib::Deflate#deflate. Zlib::SYNC_FLUSH is used if flush is omitted. It is no use giving flush Zlib::NO_FLUSH.

# File 'zlib.c', line 3508

static VALUE
rb_gzwriter_flush(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj)
{
    struct gzfile *gz = get_gzfile(obj);
    VALUE v_flush;
    int flush;

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &v_flush);

    flush = FIXNUMARG(v_flush, Z_SYNC_FLUSH);
    if (flush != Z_NO_FLUSH) {  /* prevent Z_BUF_ERROR */
	zstream_run(&gz->z, (Bytef*)"", 0, flush);
    }

    gzfile_write_raw(gz);
    if (rb_respond_to(gz->io, id_flush)) {
	rb_funcall(gz->io, id_flush, 0);
    }
    return obj;
}

#mtime= ⇒ Object

Specify the modification time (mtime) in the gzip header. Using a Fixnum or Integer

# File 'zlib.c', line 3187

static VALUE
rb_gzfile_set_mtime(VALUE obj, VALUE mtime)
{
    struct gzfile *gz = get_gzfile(obj);
    VALUE val;

    if (gz->z.flags & GZFILE_FLAG_HEADER_FINISHED) {
	rb_raise(cGzError, "header is already written");
    }

    val = rb_Integer(mtime);
    gz->mtime = NUM2UINT(val);

    return mtime;
}

#orig_name= ⇒ Object

Specify the original name (str) in the gzip header.

# File 'zlib.c', line 3208

static VALUE
rb_gzfile_set_orig_name(VALUE obj, VALUE str)
{
    struct gzfile *gz = get_gzfile(obj);

    char *p;

    if (gz->z.flags & GZFILE_FLAG_HEADER_FINISHED) {
	rb_raise(cGzError, "header is already written");
    }
    s = rb_str_dup(rb_str_to_str(str));
    p = memchr(RSTRING_PTR(s), '\0', RSTRING_LEN(s));
    if (p) {
	rb_str_resize(s, p - RSTRING_PTR(s));
    }
    gz->orig_name = s;
    return str;
}
