Detailed Description

GZIP file.

This class is a wrapper around GZIP file access functions in zlib. Unlike QuaZip classes, it doesn't allow reading from a GZIP file opened as QIODevice, for example, if your GZIP file is in QBuffer. It only provides QIODevice access to a GZIP file contents, but the GZIP file itself must be identified by its name on disk or by descriptor id.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QuaGzipFile::QuaGzipFile ( )

Empty constructor.

Must call setFileName() before trying to open.

QuaGzipFile::QuaGzipFile ( QObject * parent )

Empty constructor with a parent.

Must call setFileName() before trying to open.

Parameters:

parent The parent object, as per QObject logic.

QuaGzipFile::QuaGzipFile	(	const QString &	fileName,
		QObject *	parent = `NULL`
	)

Constructor.

Parameters:

fileName	The name of the GZIP file.
parent	The parent object, as per QObject logic.

Member Function Documentation

bool QuaGzipFile::isSequential ( ) const [virtual]

Returns true.

Strictly speaking, zlib supports seeking for GZIP files, but it is poorly implemented, because there is no way to implement it properly. For reading, seeking backwards is very slow, and for writing, it is downright impossible. Therefore, QuaGzipFile does not support seeking at all.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

bool QuaGzipFile::open ( QIODevice::OpenMode mode ) [virtual]

Opens the file.

Parameters:

mode	Can be either QIODevice::Write or QIODevice::Read. ReadWrite and Append aren't supported.

References QIODevice::setErrorString().

Referenced by open().

bool QuaGzipFile::open	(	int	fd,
		QIODevice::OpenMode	mode
	)		`[virtual]`

Opens the file.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters:

fd	The file descriptor to read/write the GZIP file from/to.
mode	Can be either QIODevice::Write or QIODevice::Read. ReadWrite and Append aren't supported.

References open(), and QIODevice::setErrorString().

bool QuaGzipFile::flush ( ) [virtual]

Flushes data to file.

The data is written using Z_SYNC_FLUSH mode. Doesn't make any sense when reading.
