Module Gz
- Description
The Gz module contains functions to compress and uncompress strings using
the same algorithm as the program gzip. Compressing can be done in
streaming mode or all at once.
The Gz module consists of two classes; Gz.deflate and Gz.inflate.
Gz.deflate is used to pack data
and Gz.inflate is used to unpack data. (Think "inflatable boat")
- Note
Note that this module is only available if the gzip library was
available when Pike was compiled.
Note that although these functions use the same algorithm as
gzip, they do not use the exact same format, so you cannot directly
unzip gzipped files with these routines. Support for this will be
added in the future.
