class Zlib::Inflate

Parent:: Zlib::ZStream

Zlib:Inflate is the class for decompressing compressed data. Unlike Zlib::Deflate, an instance of this class is not able to duplicate (clone, dup) itself.

Zlib::Inflate.inflate(string)

static VALUE
rb_inflate_s_inflate(VALUE obj, VALUE src)
{
    struct zstream z;
    VALUE dst, args[2];
    int err;

    StringValue(src);
    zstream_init_inflate(&z);
    err = inflateInit(&z.stream);
    if (err != Z_OK) {
        raise_zlib_error(err, z.stream.msg);
    }
    ZSTREAM_READY(&z);

    args[0] = (VALUE)&z;
    args[1] = src;
    dst = rb_ensure(inflate_run, (VALUE)args, zstream_end, (VALUE)&z);

    OBJ_INFECT(dst, src);
    return dst;
}

Decompresses string. Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression.

This method is almost equivalent to the following code:

def inflate(string)
  zstream = Zlib::Inflate.new
  buf = zstream.inflate(string)
  zstream.finish
  zstream.close
  buf
end

Example

open "compressed.file" do |compressed_io|
  zi = Zlib::Inflate.new(Zlib::MAX_WBITS + 32)

  begin
    open "uncompressed.file", "w+" do |uncompressed_io|
      uncompressed_io << zi.inflate(compressed_io.read)
    end
  ensure
    zi.close
  end
end

static VALUE
rb_inflate_addstr(VALUE obj, VALUE src)
{
    struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj);

    OBJ_INFECT(obj, src);

    if (ZSTREAM_IS_FINISHED(z)) {
        if (!NIL_P(src)) {
            StringValue(src);
            zstream_append_buffer2(z, src);
        }
    }
    else {
        do_inflate(z, src);
        if (ZSTREAM_IS_FINISHED(z)) {
            zstream_passthrough_input(z);
        }
    }

    return obj;
}

Same as IO.

add_dictionary(string) Show source

static VALUE
rb_inflate_add_dictionary(VALUE obj, VALUE dictionary)
{
    VALUE dictionaries = rb_ivar_get(obj, id_dictionaries);
    VALUE checksum = do_checksum(1, &dictionary, adler32);

    rb_hash_aset(dictionaries, checksum, dictionary);

    return obj;
}

Provide the inflate stream with a dictionary that may be required in the future. Multiple dictionaries may be provided. The inflate stream will automatically choose the correct user-provided dictionary based on the stream's required dictionary.

inflate(deflate_string) → String Show source

inflate(deflate_string) { |chunk| ... } → nil

static VALUE
rb_inflate_inflate(VALUE obj, VALUE src)
{
    struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj);
    VALUE dst;

    OBJ_INFECT(obj, src);

    if (ZSTREAM_IS_FINISHED(z)) {
        if (NIL_P(src)) {
            dst = zstream_detach_buffer(z);
        }
        else {
            StringValue(src);
            zstream_append_buffer2(z, src);
            dst = rb_str_new(0, 0);
            OBJ_INFECT(dst, obj);
        }
    }
    else {
        do_inflate(z, src);
        dst = zstream_detach_buffer(z);
        if (ZSTREAM_IS_FINISHED(z)) {
            zstream_passthrough_input(z);
        }
    }

    return dst;
}

Inputs deflate_string into the inflate stream and returns the output from the stream. Calling this method, both the input and the output buffer of the stream are flushed. If string is nil, this method finishes the stream, just like Zlib::ZStream#finish.

If a block is given consecutive inflated chunks from the deflate_string are yielded to the block and nil is returned.

Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed to decompress. Set the dictionary by #set_dictionary and then call this method again with an empty string to flush the stream:

inflater = Zlib::Inflate.new

begin
  out = inflater.inflate compressed
rescue Zlib::NeedDict
  # ensure the dictionary matches the stream's required dictionary
  raise unless inflater.adler == Zlib.adler32(dictionary)

  inflater.set_dictionary dictionary
  inflater.inflate ''
end

# ...

inflater.close

set_dictionary(p1) Show source

static VALUE
rb_inflate_set_dictionary(VALUE obj, VALUE dic)
{
    struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj);
    VALUE src = dic;
    int err;

    OBJ_INFECT(obj, dic);
    StringValue(src);
    err = inflateSetDictionary(&z->stream,
                               (Bytef*)RSTRING_PTR(src), RSTRING_LENINT(src));
    if (err != Z_OK) {
        raise_zlib_error(err, z->stream.msg);
    }

    return dic;
}

Sets the preset dictionary and returns string. This method is available just only after a Zlib::NeedDict exception was raised. See zlib.h for details.

sync(string) Show source

static VALUE
rb_inflate_sync(VALUE obj, VALUE src)
{
    struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj);

    OBJ_INFECT(obj, src);
    StringValue(src);
    return zstream_sync(z, (Bytef*)RSTRING_PTR(src), RSTRING_LEN(src));
}

Inputs string into the end of input buffer and skips data until a full flush point can be found. If the point is found in the buffer, this method flushes the buffer and returns false. Otherwise it returns true and the following data of full flush point is preserved in the buffer.

sync_point?() Show source

static VALUE
rb_inflate_sync_point_p(VALUE obj)
{
    struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj);
    int err;

    err = inflateSyncPoint(&z->stream);
    if (err == 1) {
        return Qtrue;
    }
    if (err != Z_OK) {
        raise_zlib_error(err, z->stream.msg);
    }
    return Qfalse;
}
