Uncompress (gb.compress)

This class allows Gambas to use compression algorithms, in order to uncompress files, strings in memory, and to read a compressed file using standard Stream methods.

Proprietà

Type	Before you can use any of the methods provided by this class, you have to select the compression driver to use.

Blocking	Returns or sets if the stream is blocking.
ByteOrder	Returns or sets the byte order used to read or write binary data to the stream.
EndOfFile	This property signals whether the last use of LINE INPUT reached the end of file, instead of reading a full line with an end-of-line character.
EndOfLine	Return or set the newline separator used by this stream.
Eof	Return if a stream reached its end.
Handle	Returns the system file descriptor associated with this Stream.
IsTerm	Return if a stream is associated with a terminal.
Lines	Returns a virtual object that allows you to enumerate a stream line by line.
NoShare
NullTerminatedString	Return or set if strings are null-terminated when they are serialized.
Tag	Returns or sets the tag associated with the stream.
Term	Return a virtual object that allows to manage the terminal associated with the stream.

Metodi

File	Once you have selected the compression driver, you can decompress a file and place the result in another file using this method.
Open	Allows you to open a file that is stored in compressed format for reading. Prior to using this method you have to select the appropiate compression driver.
String	This function returns an uncompressed string from a compressed string using the algorithm defined by Type property.

Begin	Start to buffer data written to the stream, so that everything will be sent when the Send method is called.
Close	Closes the stream.
Drop	Drop the data that has been buffered since the last call to the Begin method.
ReadLine	Read a line of text from the stream, like the LINE INPUT instruction.
Send	Send all the data, in one shot, since the last call to Begin.
Watch	Start or stop watching the stream file descriptor for reading or writing, after it has been opened.
