Constructor Detail

GZIPOutputStream

public GZIPOutputStream(OutputStream out,
                        int size)
                 throws IOException
Creates a new output stream with the specified buffer size.

Parameters:
out - the output stream
size - the output buffer size
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.
IllegalArgumentException - if size is <= 0

GZIPOutputStream

public GZIPOutputStream(OutputStream out)
                 throws IOException
Creates a new output stream with a default buffer size.

Parameters:
out - the output stream
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.
Method Detail

write

public void write(byte[] buf,
                  int off,
                  int len)
           throws IOException
Writes array of bytes to the compressed output stream. This method will block until all the bytes are written.

Overrides:
write in class DeflaterOutputStream
Parameters:
buf - the data to be written
off - the start offset of the data
len - the length of the data
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.

finish

public void finish()
            throws IOException
Finishes writing compressed data to the output stream without closing the underlying stream. Use this method when applying multiple filters in succession to the same output stream.

Overrides:
finish in class DeflaterOutputStream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
