Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

GZIPOutputStream

Synopsis

This class is a subclass of DeflaterOutputStream that compresses and writes data using the gzip file format. To create a GZIPOutputStream, specify the OutputStream to write to and, optionally, a size for the internal compression buffer. Once the GZIPOutputStream is created, you can use the write( ) and close( ) methods as you would any output stream.
