IDecompressStream

class IDecompressStream

Bases: istream

An input stream object that uses zlib to decompress (inflate) the input from another source stream on-the-fly.

Attach an IDecompressStream to an existing istream that provides compressed data, and read the corresponding uncompressed data from the IDecompressStream.

Seeking is not supported.

IDecompressStream(void)

explicit IDecompressStream(std::istream *source, bool owns_source)

IDecompressStream &close(void)

Resets the ZStream to empty, but does not actually close the source istream unless owns_source was true.

IDecompressStream &open(std::istream *source, bool owns_source)
