• Constructor Detail

  • Deflater

    public Deflater()

    Constructs a new Deflater instance using the default compression level. The strategy can be specified with setStrategy(int). A header is added to the output by default; use Deflater(int, boolean) if you need to omit the header.

  • Deflater

    public Deflater(int level)

    Constructs a new Deflater instance using compression level level. The strategy can be specified with setStrategy(int). A header is added to the output by default; use Deflater(int, boolean) if you need to omit the header.

    Parameters:

    level - the compression level in the range between 0 and 9.

  • Deflater

    public Deflater(int level,
            boolean noHeader)

    Constructs a new Deflater instance with a specific compression level. If noHeader is true, no ZLIB header is added to the output. In a ZIP archive every entry (compressed file) comes with such a header. The strategy can be specified using setStrategy(int).

    Parameters:

    level - the compression level in the range between 0 and 9.

    noHeader - true indicates that no ZLIB header should be written.

• Method Detail

  • deflate

    public int deflate(byte[] buf)

    Deflates the data (previously passed to setInput) into the supplied buffer.

    Returns:

    number of bytes of compressed data written to buf.

  • deflate

    public int deflate(byte[] buf,
              int offset,
              int byteCount)

    Deflates data (previously passed to setInput) into a specific region within the supplied buffer.

    Returns:

    the number of bytes of compressed data written to buf.

  • deflate

    public int deflate(byte[] buf,
              int offset,
              int byteCount,
              int flush)

    Deflates data (previously passed to setInput) into a specific region within the supplied buffer, optionally flushing the input buffer.

    Parameters:

    flush - one of NO_FLUSH, SYNC_FLUSH or FULL_FLUSH.

    Returns:

    the number of compressed bytes written to buf. If this equals byteCount, the number of bytes of input to be flushed may have exceeded the output buffer's capacity. In this case, finishing a flush will require the output buffer to be drained and additional calls to deflate(byte[]) to be made.

    Since:

    1.7

  • end

    public void end()

    Frees all resources held onto by this deflating algorithm. Any unused input or output is discarded. This method should be called explicitly in order to free native resources as soon as possible. After end() is called, other methods will typically throw IllegalStateException.

  • finalize

    protected void finalize()

    Description copied from class: Object
    Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. The default implementation does nothing, but this method can be overridden to free resources.

    Note that objects that override finalize are significantly more expensive than objects that don't. Finalizers may be run a long time after the object is no longer reachable, depending on memory pressure, so it's a bad idea to rely on them for cleanup. Note also that finalizers are run on a single VM-wide finalizer thread, so doing blocking work in a finalizer is a bad idea. A finalizer is usually only necessary for a class that has a native peer and needs to call a native method to destroy that peer. Even then, it's better to provide an explicit close method (and implement Closeable), and insist that callers manually dispose of instances. This works well for something like files, but less well for something like a BigInteger where typical calling code would have to deal with lots of temporaries. Unfortunately, code that creates lots of temporaries is the worst kind of code from the point of view of the single finalizer thread.

    If you must use finalizers, consider at least providing your own ReferenceQueue and having your own thread process that queue.

    Unlike constructors, finalizers are not automatically chained. You are responsible for calling super.finalize() yourself.

    Uncaught exceptions thrown by finalizers are ignored and do not terminate the finalizer thread. See Effective Java Item 7, "Avoid finalizers" for more.

    Overrides:

    finalize in class Object

  • finish

    public void finish()

    Indicates to the Deflater that all uncompressed input has been provided to it.

    See Also:

    finished

  • finished

    public boolean finished()

    Returns true if finish has been called and all data provided by setInput has been successfully compressed and consumed by deflate.

  • getAdler

    public int getAdler()

    Returns the Adler32 checksum of the uncompressed data read so far.

  • getTotalIn

    public int getTotalIn()

    Returns the total number of bytes of input read by this Deflater. This method is limited to 32 bits; use getBytesRead() instead.

  • getTotalOut

    public int getTotalOut()

    Returns the total number of bytes written to the output buffer by this Deflater. The method is limited to 32 bits; use getBytesWritten() instead.

  • needsInput

    public boolean needsInput()

    Returns true if setInput must be called before deflation can continue. If all uncompressed data has been provided to the Deflater, finish() must be called to ensure the compressed data is output.

  • reset

    public void reset()

    Resets the Deflater to accept new input without affecting any previously made settings for the compression strategy or level. This operation must be called after finished returns true if the Deflater is to be reused.

  • setDictionary

    public void setDictionary(byte[] dictionary)

    Sets the dictionary to be used for compression by this Deflater. This method can only be called if this Deflater supports the writing of ZLIB headers. This is the default, but can be overridden using Deflater(int, boolean).

  • setDictionary

    public void setDictionary(byte[] buf,
                     int offset,
                     int byteCount)

    Sets the dictionary to be used for compression by this Deflater. This method can only be called if this Deflater supports the writing of ZLIB headers. This is the default, but can be overridden using Deflater(int, boolean).

  • setInput

    public void setInput(byte[] buf)

    Sets the input buffer the Deflater will use to extract uncompressed bytes for later compression.

  • setInput

    public void setInput(byte[] buf,
                int offset,
                int byteCount)

    Sets the input buffer the Deflater will use to extract uncompressed bytes for later compression.

  • setLevel

    public void setLevel(int level)

    Sets the compression level to be used when compressing data. The compression level must be a value between 0 and 9. This value must be set prior to calling setInput.

    Throws:

    IllegalArgumentException - If the compression level is invalid.

  • setStrategy

    public void setStrategy(int strategy)

    Sets the compression strategy to be used. The strategy must be one of FILTERED, HUFFMAN_ONLY or DEFAULT_STRATEGY. This value must be set prior to calling setInput.

    Throws:

    IllegalArgumentException - If the strategy specified is not one of FILTERED, HUFFMAN_ONLY or DEFAULT_STRATEGY.

  • getBytesRead

    public long getBytesRead()

    Returns the total number of bytes read by the Deflater. This method is the same as getTotalIn() except that it returns a long value instead of an integer.

  • getBytesWritten

    public long getBytesWritten()

    Returns a the total number of bytes written by this Deflater. This method is the same as getTotalOut except it returns a long value instead of an integer.
