Types

type Reader

type Reader struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Reader does decompression using xz utility

func NewReader

func NewReader(src io.Reader) (*Reader, error)

NewReader creates .xz decompression reader

Internally it starts xz program, sets up input and output pipes

func (*Reader) Close

func (rd *Reader) Close() error

func (*Reader) Read

func (rd *Reader) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
