Finishes the stream and flushes output buffer. If a block is given each chunk is yielded to the block until the input buffer has been flushed to the output buffer.
Decompresses string. Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression.
This method is almost equivalent to the following code:
def inflate(string) zstream = Zlib::Inflate.new buf = zstream.inflate(string) zstream.finish zstream.close buf end
See also Zlib.deflate
Inputs deflate_string into the inflate stream and returns the output from the stream. Calling this method, both the input and the output buffer of the stream are flushed. If string is nil, this method finishes the stream, just like Zlib::ZStream#finish.
If a block is given consecutive inflated chunks from the deflate_string are yielded to the block and nil is returned.
If a :buffer keyword argument is given and not nil:
The :buffer keyword should be a String, and will used as the output buffer. Using this option can reuse the memory required during inflation.
When not passing a block, the return value will be the same object as the :buffer keyword argument.
When passing a block, the yielded chunks will be the same value as the :buffer keyword argument.
Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed to decompress. Set the dictionary by Zlib::Inflate#set_dictionary and then call this method again with an empty string to flush the stream:
inflater = Zlib::Inflate.new begin out = inflater.inflate compressed rescue Zlib::NeedDict # ensure the dictionary matches the stream's required dictionary raise unless inflater.adler == Zlib.adler32(dictionary) inflater.set_dictionary dictionary inflater.inflate '' end # ... inflater.close

Closes the GzipFile object. Unlike Zlib::GzipFile#close, this method never calls the close method of the associated IO object. Returns the associated IO object.
Same as IO.
The line number of the last row read from this file.
Specify line number of the last row read from this file.
Resets the position of the file pointer to the point created the GzipReader object. The associated IO object needs to respond to the seek method.

Returns the number of hard links to stat.
File.stat("testfile").nlink #=> 1 File.link("testfile", "testfile.bak") #=> 0 File.stat("testfile").nlink #=> 2
Produce a nicely formatted description of stat.
File.stat("/etc/passwd").inspect #=> "#<File::Stat dev=0xe000005, ino=1078078, mode=0100644, # nlink=1, uid=0, gid=0, rdev=0x0, size=1374, blksize=4096, # blocks=8, atime=Wed Dec 10 10:16:12 CST 2003, # mtime=Fri Sep 12 15:41:41 CDT 2003, # ctime=Mon Oct 27 11:20:27 CST 2003, # birthtime=Mon Aug 04 08:13:49 CDT 2003>"
Returns true if stat is writable by the effective user id of this process.
File.stat("testfile").writable? #=> true
Returns true if stat is a symbolic link, false if it isn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature. As File::stat automatically follows symbolic links, symlink? will always be false for an object returned by File::stat.
File.symlink("testfile", "alink") #=> 0 File.stat("alink").symlink? #=> false File.lstat("alink").symlink? #=> true
Returns true if stat has its sticky bit set, false if it doesn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature.
File.stat("testfile").sticky? #=> false
Returns true if key is registered
Returns the number of referenced objects
Transfers ownership to a new buffer, deallocating the current one.
buffer = IO::Buffer.new('test') other = buffer.transfer other # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x00007f136a15f7b0+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 74 65 73 74 test buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000000000000000+0 NULL> buffer.null? # => true
If the buffer is internal, meaning it references memory allocated by the buffer itself.
An internal buffer is not associated with any external memory (e.g. string) or file mapping.
Internal buffers are created using ::new and is the default when the requested size is less than the IO::Buffer::PAGE_SIZE and it was not requested to be mapped on creation.
Internal buffers can be resized, and such an operation will typically invalidate all slices, but not always.
