An output stream that compresses data as it is written.

The standard zlib compression library is used.

This stream does its work through a CompressionBuffer.

Not present.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

regina::CompressionStream::CompressionStream ( )
inline

Creates a new compression stream.

regina::CompressionStream::CompressionStream ( const char *  path)
inline

Creates a new compression stream that writes to the given file.

The underlying file will be opened automatically.

Internationalisation:
This routine makes no assumptions about the character encoding used in the given file name, and simply passes it through unchanged to low-level C/C++ file I/O routines.
Parameters
paththe pathname of the new file to open.

Member Function Documentation

int regina::CompressionStream::close ( )
inline

Closes the underlying file.

If no file is open, this routine does nothing.

Returns
0 on success, or ZBuffer::zEOF on error.
int regina::CompressionStream::open ( const char *  path)
inline

Opens the given file for compressed writing.

If a file is already open, it will be closed before the new file is opened.

Internationalisation:
This routine makes no assumptions about the character encoding used in the given file name, and simply passes it through unchanged to low-level C/C++ file I/O routines.
Parameters
paththe pathname of the new file to open.
Returns
0 on success, or ZBuffer::zEOF on error.
