## Description

GZlibCompressor is an implementation of GConverter that compresses data using zlib.

## Details

### GZlibCompressor

    typedef struct _GZlibCompressor GZlibCompressor;

Zlib decompression

### enum GZlibCompressorFormat

    typedef enum {
      G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_ZLIB,
      G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_GZIP,
      G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_RAW
    } GZlibCompressorFormat;

Used to select the type of data format to use for GZlibDecompressor and GZlibCompressor.

`G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_ZLIB` | deflate compression with zlib header
`G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_GZIP` | gzip file format
`G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_RAW` | deflate compression with no header

Since 2.24

### g_zlib_compressor_new ()

    GZlibCompressor *   g_zlib_compressor_new               (GZlibCompressorFormat format,
                                                             int level);

Creates a new GZlibCompressor.

`format` : | The format to use for the compressed data
`level` : | compression level (0-9), -1 for default
Returns : | a new GZlibCompressor

Since 2.24

### g_zlib_compressor_get_file_info ()

    GFileInfo *         g_zlib_compressor_get_file_info     (GZlibCompressor *compressor);

Returns the "file-info" property.

`compressor` : | a GZlibCompressor
Returns : | a GFileInfo, or `NULL`. [transfer none]

Since 2.26

### g_zlib_compressor_set_file_info ()

    void                g_zlib_compressor_set_file_info     (GZlibCompressor *compressor,
                                                             GFileInfo *file_info);

Sets `file_info` in `compressor`. If non-`NULL`, and `compressor`'s "format" property is `G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_GZIP`, it will be used to set the file name and modification time in the GZIP header of the compressed data.

Note: it is an error to call this function while a compression is in progress; it may only be called immediately after creation of `compressor`, or after resetting it with `g_converter_reset()`.

`compressor` : | a GZlibCompressor
`file_info` : | a GFileInfo. [allow-none]

Since 2.26

## Property Details

### The `"file-info"` property

      "file-info"                GFileInfo*            : Read / Write

If set to a non-`NULL` GFileInfo object, and "format" is `G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_GZIP`, the compressor will write the file name and modification time from the file info to the GZIP header.

Since 2.26

### The `"format"` property

      "format"                   GZlibCompressorFormat  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The format of the compressed data.

Default value: G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_ZLIB

### The `"level"` property

      "level"                    gint                  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The level of compression from 0 (no compression) to 9 (most compression), -1 for the default level.

Allowed values: [-1,9]

Default value: -1
