v1_9_1_378 - Show latest stable - 0 notes - Class: Zlib::GzipReader

new(p1) public

Creates a GzipReader object associated with io. The GzipReader object reads gzipped data from io, and parses/decompresses them. At least, io must have a read method that behaves same as the read method in IO class.

If the gzip file header is incorrect, raises an Zlib::GzipFile::Error exception.
