Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Finishes the deflater with the current input block. It is an error to give more input after this method was called. This method must be called to force all bytes to be flushed.

Flushes the current input block. Further calls to deflate() will produce enough output to inflate everything in the current input block. This is not part of Sun's JDK so I have made it package private. It is used by DeflaterOutputStream to implement flush().

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Get current compression level

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Resets the deflater. The deflater acts afterwards as if it was just created with the same compression level and strategy as it had before.

Sets the compression level. There is no guarantee of the exact position of the change, but if you call this when needsInput is true the change of compression level will occur somewhere near before the end of the so far given input.

Sets the compression strategy. Strategy is one of DEFAULT_STRATEGY, HUFFMAN_ONLY and FILTERED. For the exact position where the strategy is changed, the same as for SetLevel() applies.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

The best and slowest compression level. This tries to find very long and distant string repetitions.

The worst but fastest compression level.

The default compression level.

The compression method. This is the only method supported so far. There is no need to use this constant at all.

This level won't compress at all but output uncompressed blocks.

Gets the current adler checksum of the data that was processed so far.

Returns true if the stream was finished and no more output bytes are available.

Returns true, if the input buffer is empty. You should then call setInput(). NOTE: This method can also return true when the stream was finished.

Gets the number of input bytes processed so far.

Gets the number of output bytes so far.
