Decompress file example / instructions

2

Could use an example on how to extract a .tar.gz archive file. As far as I can tell, the examples are only for vecs of bytes, and strings. Assuming this...

Reading multiple GZIP archives in one file, individually

1

Hi, I have a large .gz file with many (hundreds of thousands) individual archives in the one file. Using GZDecoder works on this, for the first archive. Using MultiGZDecoder works,...

Extract gzip header into a crate? Maybe other metadata?

7

In my [zopfli implementation](https://github.com/carols10cents/zopfli), it would be useful to have your gzip [`into_header`](https://github.com/alexcrichton/flate2-rs/blob/master/src/gz.rs#L165-L212) and [`do_finish` footer](https://github.com/alexcrichton/flate2-rs/blob/master/src/gz.rs#L234-L251)) code, but without the actual compression logic. The C implementation of zopfli was actually...

Add example & references in docs to steer people directly to MultiGzDecoder

3

I think it would help users to have documentation that clearly points people to `MultiGzDecoder` for decompressing gzipped data. I see two specific places for this: 1. On the front...

filename extension is lost on unzip

I don't know if its a gzip issue or flate2 issue, but in the `gzbuilder` example, when I open unarchive tools on my Mac, I get the original filename without...

Provide something like len() for GzEncoder and GzDecoder

4

Hi, would be nice to know the size of the extracted data, although there is an overflow after 4GB. Or is it available and have not found it?! Thanks

How to use with futures Stream of Vec<u8> values?

3

I am trying to stream gzipped data from an S3 object in to a flate2 decompressor but the S3 library does not return a Read, just a futures Stream. You...

Hello, so I'm working on [this crate](https://github.com/gwbres/rinex) to parse RINEX files, which most of the time come `gzip` compressed. For information, decompression is encapsulated in `src/reader.rs` for hidden/transparent operations. Things...

Why does `reset()` exist for `DeflateDecoder` but no `GzDecoder`?

2

It's not a huge deal, but `GzDecoder::new()` has a heap allocation and if you're decompressing disjoint chunks from many readers, not being able to simply reset an existing decoder is...

Receiving zlib raw stream data from python with the "zlib.compressobj(zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, zlib.DEFLATED, -zlib.MAX_WBITS)" options is not rare, but there are no examples of how to use the "Decompress" object in the...
