Class
Zlib::GzipWriter is a class for writing gzipped files. GzipWriter should be used with an instance of IO, or IO-like, object.
Following two example generate the same result.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz| gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'endFile.open('hoge.gz', 'w') do |f| gz = Zlib::GzipWriter.new(f) gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...' gz.closeend |
To make like gzip(1) does, run following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | orig = 'hoge.txt'Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz| gz.mtime = File.mtime(orig) gz.orig_name = orig gz.write IO.binread(orig)end |
NOTE: Due to the limitation of Ruby's finalizer, you must explicitly close GzipWriter objects by Zlib::GzipFile#close etc. Otherwise, GzipWriter will be not able to write the gzip footer and will generate a broken gzip file.
