Arguments

Description

Creates a new inflate stream for decompression. See zlib.h for details of the argument. If window_bits is nil, the default value is used.

Example

cf = File.open("compressed.file")
ucf = File.open("uncompressed.file", "w+")
zi = Zlib::Inflate.new(Zlib::MAX_WBITS)

ucf << zi.inflate(cf.read)

ucf.close
zi.close
cf.close

or

File.open("compressed.file") {|cf|
  zi = Zlib::Inflate.new
  File.open("uncompressed.file", "w+") {|ucf|
    ucf << zi.inflate(cf.read)
  }
  zi.close
}
