class Compress::Gzip::Reader

Overview

A read-only IO object to decompress data in the gzip format.

Instances of this class wrap another IO object. When you read from this instance instance, it reads data from the underlying IO, decompresses it, and returns it to the caller.

NOTE A gzip stream can contain zero or more members. If it contains no members, #header will be nil. If it contains one or more members, only the first header will be recorded here. This is because gzipping multiple members is not common as one usually combines gzip with tar. If, however, multiple members are present then reading from this reader will return the concatenation of all the members.

Example: decompress a gzip file

require "compress/gzip"

File.write("file.gzip", Bytes[31, 139, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 75, 76, 74, 6, 0, 194, 65, 36, 53, 3, 0, 0, 0])

string = File.open("file.gzip") do |file|
  Compress::Gzip::Reader.open(file) do |gzip|
    gzip.gets_to_end
  end
end
string # => "abc"
