Class CBZip2InputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public class CBZip2InputStream
    extends InputStream
    An input stream that decompresses from the BZip2 format (without the file header chars) to be read as any other stream.

    The decompression requires large amounts of memory. Thus you should call the close() method as soon as possible, to force CBZip2InputStream to release the allocated memory. See CBZip2OutputStream for information about memory usage.

    CBZip2InputStream reads bytes from the compressed source stream via the single byte read() method exclusively. Thus you should consider using a buffered source stream.

    Instances of this class are not threadsafe.

    • Constructor Detail

      • CBZip2InputStream

        public CBZip2InputStream​(InputStream in)
                          throws IOException
        Constructs a new CBZip2InputStream which decompresses bytes read from the specified stream.

        Although BZip2 headers are marked with the magic "Bz" this constructor expects the next byte in the stream to be the first one after the magic. Thus callers have to skip the first two bytes. Otherwise this constructor will throw an exception.

        Parameters:
        in - stream from which to read BZip2 data; expected to be set to the first byte past the 2 byte magic marker
        Throws:
        IOException - if the stream content is malformed or an I/O error occurs.
        NullPointerException - if in == null
