v1_9_3_392 - Show latest stable - Class: Zlib::Inflate

inflate(p1)

public

Decompresses string. Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression.

This method is almost equivalent to the following code:

def inflate(string)
  zstream = Zlib::Inflate.new
  buf = zstream.inflate(string)
  zstream.finish
  zstream.close
  buf
end

        else {

            zstream_append_buffer2(z, src);
            dst = rb_str_new(0, 0);
        }
    }
    else {
        do_inflate(z, src);
        dst = zstream_detach_buffer(z);
