class Compress::Brotli::Writer

• Compress::Brotli::Writer
• IO
• Reference
• Object

Overview

A write-only IO object to compress data in the Brotli 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 Brotli::Writer instance.

Example: compress a file

require "brotli"

File.write("file.txt", "abcd")

File.open("./file.txt", "r") do |input_file|
  File.open("./file.br", "w") do |output_file|
    Compress::Brotli::Writer.open(output_file) do |br|
      IO.copy(input_file, br)
    end
  end
end

Constructors

• .new(output : IO, options : Brotli::WriterOptions = Brotli::WriterOptions.default, sync_close : Bool = false)
• .new(filename : String, options : Brotli::WriterOptions = Brotli::WriterOptions.default)

  Creates a new writer to the given filename.

Class Method Summary

• .open(io : IO, options : Brotli::WriterOptions = Brotli::WriterOptions.default, sync_close : Bool = false, &)

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

• .open(io : IO, options : Brotli::WriterOptions = Brotli::WriterOptions.default, sync_close = false, &)

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

• .open(filename : String, options : Brotli::WriterOptions = Brotli::WriterOptions.default, &)

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

Instance Method Summary

• #close

  Closes this writer.

• #closed? : Bool

  Returns true if this IO is closed.

• #flush

  See IO#flush.

• #read(slice : Bytes)

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

• #sync_close=(sync_close : Bool)

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

• #sync_close? : Bool

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

• #write(slice : Bytes) : Nil

  See IO#write.
