Functions

func DecompressByHeader

func DecompressByHeader(output io.Writer, input io.Reader) error

DecompressByHeader decodes compression header from the provided input and decompresses the remainder.

func RegisterCompressor

func RegisterCompressor(name Name, c Compressor)

RegisterCompressor registers the provided compressor implementation.

Types

type Compressor

type Compressor interface {
	HeaderID() HeaderID
	Compress(output io.Writer, input io.Reader) error
	Decompress(output io.Writer, input io.Reader, withHeader bool) error
}

Compressor implements compression and decompression of a byte slice.

type HeaderID

type HeaderID uint32

HeaderID is a unique identifier of the compressor stored in the compressed block header.

type Name

type Name string

Name is the name of the compressor to use.
