Name

GZIPInputStream

Synopsis

This class is a subclass of InflaterInputStream that reads and uncompresses data compressed in gzip format. To create a GZIPInputStream, simply specify the InputStream to read compressed data from and, optionally, a buffer size for the internal decompression buffer. Once a GZIPInputStream is created, you can use the read( ) and close( ) methods as you would with any input stream.
