compress #

Description

compress is a namespace for (multiple) compression algorithms supported by V.

At the moment, the following compression algorithms are implemented:

• compress.bzip2
• compress.brotli
• compress.deflate
• compress.gzip
• compress.lz supporting the following variations:
  • lz4
  • lz77
  • lz78
  • lzjb
  • lzma
  • lzma2
  • lzss
  • lzw
• compress.snappy
• compress.zlib
• compress.zstd

fn compress(data []u8, flags int) ![]u8

compresses an array of bytes based on providing flags and returns the compressed bytes in a new array NB: this is a low level api, a high level implementation like zlib/gzip should be preferred

fn decompress(data []u8, flags int) ![]u8

decompresses an array of bytes based on providing flags and returns the decompressed bytes in a new array NB: this is a low level api, a high level implementation like zlib/gzip should be preferred

fn decompress_with_callback(data []u8, cb ChunkCallback, userdata voidptr, flags int) !u64

decompress_with_callback decompresses an array of bytes, based on the provided flags, and a V fn callback to receive decompressed chunks, of at most 32 kilobytes each. It returns the total decompressed length, or a decompression error. NB: this is a low level api, a high level implementation like zlib/gzip should be preferred.

type ChunkCallback = fn (chunk []u8, userdata voidptr) int
