## Object Hierarchy

        ╰── GZlibCompressor

## Implemented Interfaces

GZlibCompressor implements GConverter.

## Includes

    #include <gio/gio.h>

## Description

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

## Functions

### g_zlib_compressor_new ()

    GZlibCompressor *
    g_zlib_compressor_new (GZlibCompressorFormat format,
                           int level);

Creates a new GZlibCompressor.

#### Parameters

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.

#### Parameters

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()`.

#### Parameters

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

Since 2.26

## Types and Values

### GZlibCompressor

    typedef struct _GZlibCompressor GZlibCompressor;

Zlib decompression

### enum GZlibCompressorFormat

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

#### Members

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

## Property Details

### The `“file-info”` property

      “file-info”                GFileInfo *

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.

Flags: Read / Write

Since 2.26

### The `“format”` property

      “format”                   GZlibCompressorFormat

The format of the compressed data.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: G_ZLIB_COMPRESSOR_FORMAT_ZLIB

### The `“level”` property

      “level”                    gint

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

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Allowed values: [-1,9]

Default value: -1
