Overview ¶
Package snappy implements the snappy block-based compression format. It aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression.
The C++ snappy implementation is at https://github.com/google/snappy
Index ¶
Constants ¶
This section is empty.
Variables ¶
var ( // ErrCorrupt reports that the input is invalid. ErrCorrupt = errors.New("snappy: corrupt input") // ErrTooLarge reports that the uncompressed length is too large. ErrTooLarge = errors.New("snappy: decoded block is too large") // ErrUnsupported reports that the input isn't supported. ErrUnsupported = errors.New("snappy: unsupported input") )
Functions ¶
func Decode ¶
Decode returns the decoded form of src. The returned slice may be a sub- slice of dst if dst was large enough to hold the entire decoded block. Otherwise, a newly allocated slice will be returned.
The dst and src must not overlap. It is valid to pass a nil dst.
func DecodedLen ¶
DecodedLen returns the length of the decoded block.
func Encode ¶
Encode returns the encoded form of src. The returned slice may be a sub- slice of dst if dst was large enough to hold the entire encoded block. Otherwise, a newly allocated slice will be returned.
The dst and src must not overlap. It is valid to pass a nil dst.
func MaxEncodedLen ¶
MaxEncodedLen returns the maximum length of a snappy block, given its uncompressed length.
It will return a negative value if srcLen is too large to encode.
Types ¶
type Reader ¶
type Reader struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Reader is an io.Reader that can read Snappy-compressed bytes.
func NewReader ¶
NewReader returns a new Reader that decompresses from r, using the framing format described at https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/framing_format.txt
type Writer ¶
type Writer struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Writer is an io.Writer that can write Snappy-compressed bytes.
func NewBufferedWriter ¶
NewBufferedWriter returns a new Writer that compresses to w, using the framing format described at https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/framing_format.txt
The Writer returned buffers writes. Users must call Close to guarantee all data has been forwarded to the underlying io.Writer. They may also call Flush zero or more times before calling Close.
func NewWriter
deprecated
NewWriter returns a new Writer that compresses to w.
The Writer returned does not buffer writes. There is no need to Flush or Close such a Writer.
Deprecated: the Writer returned is not suitable for many small writes, only for few large writes. Use NewBufferedWriter instead, which is efficient regardless of the frequency and shape of the writes, and remember to Close that Writer when done.
