Zlib::GzipReader
is the class for reading a gzipped file. GzipReader
should be used as an IO
, or -IO-like, object.
Zlib::GzipReader.open('hoge.gz') {|gz| print gz.read } File.open('hoge.gz') do |f| gz = Zlib::GzipReader.new(f) print gz.read gz.close end
Method
Catalogue The following methods in Zlib::GzipReader
are just like their counterparts in IO
, but they raise Zlib::Error
or Zlib::GzipFile::Error
exception if an error was found in the gzip file.
Be careful of the footer of the gzip file. A gzip file has the checksum of pre-compressed data in its footer. GzipReader
checks all uncompressed data against that checksum at the following cases, and if it fails, raises Zlib::GzipFile::NoFooter
, Zlib::GzipFile::CRCError
, or Zlib::GzipFile::LengthError
exception.
When an reading request is received beyond the end of file (the end of compressed data). That is, when Zlib::GzipReader#read
, Zlib::GzipReader#gets
, or some other methods for reading returns nil.
When Zlib::GzipFile#close
method is called after the object reaches the end of file.
When Zlib::GzipReader#unused
method is called after the object reaches the end of file.
The rest of the methods are adequately described in their own documentation.
Objects of class File::Stat
encapsulate common status information for File
objects. The information is recorded at the moment the File::Stat
object is created; changes made to the file after that point will not be reflected. File::Stat
objects are returned by IO#stat
, File::stat
, File#lstat
, and File::lstat
. Many of these methods return platform-specific values, and not all values are meaningful on all systems. See also Kernel#test

Timer id conversion keeps objects alive for a certain amount of time after their last access. The default time period is 600 seconds and can be changed upon initialization.
To use TimerIdConv:
DRb.install_id_conv TimerIdConv.new 60 # one minute
FIXME: This isn’t documented in Nutshell.
Since MonitorMixin.new_cond
returns a ConditionVariable
, and the example above calls while_wait and signal, this class should be documented.
HTTP request class. This class wraps together the request header and the request path. You cannot use this class directly. Instead, you should use one of its subclasses: Net::HTTP::Get
, Net::HTTP::Post
, Net::HTTP::Head
