Class Deflater

java.lang.Object
net.sf.jazzlib.Deflater
public class Deflater extends Object
This is the Deflater class. The deflater class compresses input with the deflate algorithm described in RFC 1951. It has several compression levels and three different strategies described below. This class is not thread safe. This is inherent in the API, due to the split of deflate and setInput.

  • Constructor Details

    • Deflater

      public Deflater()
      Creates a new deflater with default compression level.

    • Deflater

      public Deflater(int lvl)
      Creates a new deflater with given compression level.
      Parameters:
      lvl - the compression level, a value between NO_COMPRESSION and BEST_COMPRESSION, or DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if lvl is out of range.

    • Deflater

      public Deflater(int lvl, boolean nowrap)
      Creates a new deflater with given compression level.
      Parameters:
      lvl - the compression level, a value between NO_COMPRESSION and BEST_COMPRESSION.
      nowrap - true, iff we should suppress the deflate header at the beginning and the adler checksum at the end of the output. This is useful for the GZIP format.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if lvl is out of range.

  • Method Details

    • reset

      public void reset()
      Resets the deflater. The deflater acts afterwards as if it was just created with the same compression level and strategy as it had before.

    • end

      @Deprecated public void end()
      Deprecated.
      Just clear all references to deflater instead.
      Frees all objects allocated by the compressor. There's no reason to call this, since you can just rely on garbage collection. Exists only for compatibility against Sun's JDK, where the compressor allocates native memory. If you call any method (even reset) afterwards the behaviour is undefined.

    • getAdler

      public int getAdler()
      Gets the current adler checksum of the data that was processed so far.

    • getTotalIn

      public int getTotalIn()
      Gets the number of input bytes processed so far.

    • getTotalOut

      public int getTotalOut()
      Gets the number of output bytes so far.

    • finalize

      protected void finalize()
      Finalizes this object.
      Overrides:
      finalize in class Object

    • flush

      void flush()
      Flushes the current input block. Further calls to deflate() will produce enough output to inflate everything in the current input block. This is not part of Sun's JDK so I have made it package private. It is used by DeflaterOutputStream to implement flush().

    • finish

      public void finish()
      Finishes the deflater with the current input block. It is an error to give more input after this method was called. This method must be called to force all bytes to be flushed.

    • finished

      public boolean finished()
      Returns true iff the stream was finished and no more output bytes are available.

    • needsInput

      public boolean needsInput()
      Returns true, if the input buffer is empty. You should then call setInput().
      NOTE: This method can also return true when the stream was finished.

    • setInput

      public void setInput(byte[] input)
      Sets the data which should be compressed next. This should be only called when needsInput indicates that more input is needed. If you call setInput when needsInput() returns false, the previous input that is still pending will be thrown away. The given byte array should not be changed, before needsInput() returns true again. This call is equivalent to setInput(input, 0, input.length).
      Parameters:
      input - the buffer containing the input data.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the buffer was finished() or ended().

    • setInput

      public void setInput(byte[] input, int off, int len)
      Sets the data which should be compressed next. This should be only called when needsInput indicates that more input is needed. The given byte array should not be changed, before needsInput() returns true again.
      Parameters:
      input - the buffer containing the input data.
      off - the start of the data.
      len - the length of the data.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the buffer was finished() or ended() or if previous input is still pending.

    • setLevel

      public void setLevel(int lvl)
      Sets the compression level. There is no guarantee of the exact position of the change, but if you call this when needsInput is true the change of compression level will occur somewhere near before the end of the so far given input.
      Parameters:
      lvl - the new compression level.

    • setStrategy

      public void setStrategy(int stgy)
      Sets the compression strategy. Strategy is one of DEFAULT_STRATEGY, HUFFMAN_ONLY and FILTERED. For the exact position where the strategy is changed, the same as for setLevel() applies.
      Parameters:
      stgy - the new compression strategy.

    • deflate

      public int deflate(byte[] output)
      Deflates the current input block to the given array. It returns the number of bytes compressed, or 0 if either needsInput() or finished() returns true or length is zero.
      Parameters:
      output - the buffer where to write the compressed data.

    • deflate

      public int deflate(byte[] output, int offset, int length)
      Deflates the current input block to the given array. It returns the number of bytes compressed, or 0 if either needsInput() or finished() returns true or length is zero.
      Parameters:
      output - the buffer where to write the compressed data.
      offset - the offset into the output array.
      length - the maximum number of bytes that may be written.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if end() was called.
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if offset and/or length don't match the array length.

    • setDictionary

      public void setDictionary(byte[] dict)
      Sets the dictionary which should be used in the deflate process. This call is equivalent to setDictionary(dict, 0, dict.length).
      Parameters:
      dict - the dictionary.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if setInput () or deflate () were already called or another dictionary was already set.

    • setDictionary

      public void setDictionary(byte[] dict, int offset, int length)
      Sets the dictionary which should be used in the deflate process. The dictionary should be a byte array containing strings that are likely to occur in the data which should be compressed. The dictionary is not stored in the compressed output, only a checksum. To decompress the output you need to supply the same dictionary again.
      Parameters:
      dict - the dictionary.
      offset - an offset into the dictionary.
      length - the length of the dictionary.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if setInput () or deflate () were already called or another dictionary was already set.
