Crate bzip2

Bzip compression for Rust

This library contains bindings to libbz2 to support bzip compression and decompression for Rust. The streams offered in this library are primarily found in the reader and writer modules. Both compressors and decompressors are available in each module depending on what operation you need.

Access to the raw decompression/compression stream is also provided through the raw module which has a much closer interfact to libbz2.

Example

use std::io::prelude::*;
use bzip2::Compression;
use bzip2::read::{BzEncoder, BzDecoder};

// Round trip some bytes from a byte source, into a compressor, into a
// decompressor, and finally into a vector.
let data = "Hello, World!".as_bytes();
let compressor = BzEncoder::new(data, Compression::Best);
let mut decompressor = BzDecoder::new(compressor);

let mut contents = String::new();
decompressor.read_to_string(&mut contents).unwrap();
assert_eq!(contents, "Hello, World!");

Modules

bufread	I/O streams for wrapping BufRead types as encoders/decoders
read	Reader-based compression/decompression streams
write	Writer-based compression/decompression streams

Structs

Compress	Representation of an in-memory compression stream.
Decompress	Representation of an in-memory decompression stream.

Enums

Action	Possible actions to take on compression.
Compression	When compressing data, the compression level can be specified by a value in this enum.
Error	Fatal errors encountered when compressing/decompressing bytes.
Status	Result of compression or decompression
