Class CBZip2InputStream

java.lang.Object
java.io.InputStream
org.apache.tools.bzip2.CBZip2InputStream
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, BZip2Constants
public class CBZip2InputStream extends InputStream implements BZip2Constants
An input stream that decompresses from the BZip2 format (without the file header chars) to be read as any other stream.

The decompression requires large amounts of memory. Thus you should call the close() method as soon as possible, to force CBZip2InputStream to release the allocated memory. See CBZip2OutputStream for information about memory usage.

CBZip2InputStream reads bytes from the compressed source stream via the single byte read() method exclusively. Thus you should consider to use a buffered source stream.

Instances of this class are not threadsafe.

  • Constructor Details

    • CBZip2InputStream

      public CBZip2InputStream(InputStream in) throws IOException
      Constructs a new CBZip2InputStream which decompresses bytes read from the specified stream. This doesn't support decompressing concatenated .bz2 files.

      Although BZip2 headers are marked with the magic "Bz" this constructor expects the next byte in the stream to be the first one after the magic. Thus callers have to skip the first two bytes. Otherwise this constructor will throw an exception.

      Parameters:
      in - InputStream
      Throws:
      IOException - if the stream content is malformed or an I/O error occurs.
      NullPointerException - if in == null

    • CBZip2InputStream

      public CBZip2InputStream(InputStream in, boolean decompressConcatenated) throws IOException
      Constructs a new CBZip2InputStream which decompresses bytes read from the specified stream.

      Although BZip2 headers are marked with the magic "Bz" this constructor expects the next byte in the stream to be the first one after the magic. Thus callers have to skip the first two bytes. Otherwise this constructor will throw an exception.

      Parameters:
      in - the InputStream from which this object should be created
      decompressConcatenated - if true, decompress until the end of the input; if false, stop after the first .bz2 stream and leave the input position to point to the next byte after the .bz2 stream
      Throws:
      IOException - if the stream content is malformed or an I/O error occurs.
      NullPointerException - if in == null
