type in_channel = Gzip.in_channel
Abstract type representing a channel opened for reading from a compressed file.
val open_in : string -> in_channel
Abstract type representing a channel opened for reading from a compressed file.
Open a compressed file for reading. The argument is the file name.
val open_in_chan : in_channel -> in_channel
Open a compressed file for reading. The argument is the file name.
Open a compressed file for reading. The argument is a regular file channel already opened on the compressed file.
val input_char : in_channel -> char
Open a compressed file for reading. The argument is a regular file channel already opened on the compressed file.
Uncompress one character from the given channel, and return it. Raise End_of_file
if no more compressed data is available.
val input_byte : in_channel -> int
Uncompress one character from the given channel, and return it. Raise End_of_file
if no more compressed data is available.
Same as Gzip.input_char
, but return the 8-bit integer representing the character. Raise End_of_file
if no more compressed data is available.
val input : in_channel -> bytes -> int -> int -> int
Same as Gzip.input_char
, but return the 8-bit integer representing the character. Raise End_of_file
if no more compressed data is available.
input ic buf pos len
uncompresses up to len
characters from the given channel ic
, storing them in string buf
, starting at character number pos
. It returns the actual number of characters read, between 0 and len
(inclusive). A return value of 0 means that the end of file was reached. A return value between 0 and len
exclusive means that not all requested len
characters were read, either because no more characters were available at that time, or because the implementation found it convenient to do a partial read; input
must be called again to read the remaining characters, if desired. (See also Gzip.really_input
for reading exactly len
characters.) Exception Invalid_argument "Gzip.input"
is raised if pos
and len
do not designate a valid substring of buf
.
val really_input : in_channel -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit
input ic buf pos len
uncompresses up to len
characters from the given channel ic
, storing them in string buf
, starting at character number pos
. It returns the actual number of characters read, between 0 and len
(inclusive). A return value of 0 means that the end of file was reached. A return value between 0 and len
exclusive means that not all requested len
characters were read, either because no more characters were available at that time, or because the implementation found it convenient to do a partial read; input
must be called again to read the remaining characters, if desired. (See also Gzip.really_input
for reading exactly len
characters.) Exception Invalid_argument "Gzip.input"
is raised if pos
and len
do not designate a valid substring of buf
.
really_input ic buf pos len
uncompresses len
characters from the given channel, storing them in string buf
, starting at character number pos
. Raise End_of_file
if fewer than len
characters can be read. Raise Invalid_argument "Gzip.input"
if pos
and len
do not designate a valid substring of buf
.
val close_in : in_channel -> unit
really_input ic buf pos len
uncompresses len
characters from the given channel, storing them in string buf
, starting at character number pos
. Raise End_of_file
if fewer than len
characters can be read. Raise Invalid_argument "Gzip.input"
if pos
and len
do not designate a valid substring of buf
.
Close the given input channel. If the channel was created with Gzip.open_in_chan
, the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.in_channel
) is also closed. Do not apply any of the functions above to a closed channel.
val dispose : in_channel -> unit
Close the given input channel. If the channel was created with Gzip.open_in_chan
, the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.in_channel
) is also closed. Do not apply any of the functions above to a closed channel.
Same as Gzip.close_in
, but does not close the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.in_channel
); just dispose of the resources associated with the decompression channel. This can be useful if e.g. the underlying file channel is a network socket on which more (uncompressed) data is expected.
type out_channel = Gzip.out_channel
Abstract type representing a channel opened for writing to a compressed file.
val open_out : ?level:int -> string -> out_channel
Abstract type representing a channel opened for writing to a compressed file.
Open a compressed file for writing. The argument is the file name. The file is created if it does not exist, or truncated to zero length if it exists. The optional level
argument (an integer between 1 and 9) indicates the compression level, with 1 being the weakest (but fastest) compression and 9 being the strongest (but slowest) compression. The default level is 6 (medium compression).
val open_out_chan : ?level:int -> out_channel -> out_channel
Open a compressed file for writing. The argument is the file name. The file is created if it does not exist, or truncated to zero length if it exists. The optional level
argument (an integer between 1 and 9) indicates the compression level, with 1 being the weakest (but fastest) compression and 9 being the strongest (but slowest) compression. The default level is 6 (medium compression).
Open a compressed file for writing. The argument is a regular file channel already opened on the compressed file. The optional level
argument sets the compression level as documented for Gzip.open_out
.
val output_char : out_channel -> char -> unit
Open a compressed file for writing. The argument is a regular file channel already opened on the compressed file. The optional level
argument sets the compression level as documented for Gzip.open_out
.
Output one character to the given compressed channel.
val output_byte : out_channel -> int -> unit
Output one character to the given compressed channel.
Same as Gzip.output_char
, but the output character is given by its code. The given integer is taken modulo 256.
val output : out_channel -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit
Same as Gzip.output_char
, but the output character is given by its code. The given integer is taken modulo 256.
output oc buf pos len
compresses and writes len
characters from string buf
, starting at offset pos
, and writes the compressed data to the channel oc
. Raise Invalid_argument "Gzip.output"
if pos
and len
do not designate a valid substring of buf
.
val output_substring : out_channel -> string -> int -> int -> unit
output oc buf pos len
compresses and writes len
characters from string buf
, starting at offset pos
, and writes the compressed data to the channel oc
. Raise Invalid_argument "Gzip.output"
if pos
and len
do not designate a valid substring of buf
.
Same as output
, but takes a string as argument instead of a byte sequence.
val close_out : out_channel -> unit
Same as output
, but takes a string as argument instead of a byte sequence.
Close the given output channel. If the channel was created with Gzip.open_out_chan
, the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.out_channel
) is also closed. Do not apply any of the functions above to a closed channel.
val flush : out_channel -> unit
Close the given output channel. If the channel was created with Gzip.open_out_chan
, the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.out_channel
) is also closed. Do not apply any of the functions above to a closed channel.
Same as Gzip.close_out
, but do not close the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.out_channel
); just flush all pending compressed data and dispose of the resources associated with the compression channel. This can be useful if e.g. the underlying file channel is a network socket on which more data is to be sent.
val flush_continue : out_channel -> unit
Same as Gzip.close_out
, but do not close the underlying regular file channel (of type Stdlib.out_channel
); just flush all pending compressed data and dispose of the resources associated with the compression channel. This can be useful if e.g. the underlying file channel is a network socket on which more data is to be sent.
Flush all pending compressed data through both the compression channel and the underlying regular file channel, but keep both channels open to accept further data.
