java.lang.Object
nom.tam.fits.compress.BasicCompressProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
ICompressProvider
@Deprecated public class BasicCompressProvider extends Object implements ICompressProvider
Deprecated.
Use ZCompressionProvider. or the more generic CompressionManager with a preference toward using the system command if possible. instead.
(for internal use) UNIX compressed (.Z) input stream decompression with a preference for using an external system command. You can use this class to decompress files that have been compressed with the UNIX compress tool (or via gzip) and have the characteristic .Z file name extension. It effectively provides the same functionality as ZCompressionProvider, but has a preference for calling on the system uncompress command first to do the lifting. If that fails it will call on CompressionManager to provide a suitable decompressor (which will give it ZCompressionProvider). Since the compress tool is UNIX-specific, it is not entirely portable. As a result, you are probably better off relying on those other classes directly.

      public InputStream decompress(InputStream in) throws IOException, FitsException
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: ICompressProvider
      Decompresses data from an input stream.
      Specified by:
      decompress in interface ICompressProvider
      Parameters:
      in - the input stream containing compressed data
      Returns:
      a new input stream containing the decompressed data
      Throws:
      IOException - if there was an IO error while accessing the input stream
      FitsException - if the decompression cannot be performed for some reason that is not related to the input per se.

    • priority

      public int priority()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: ICompressProvider
      Returns the priority of this method. CompressionManager will use this to select the 'best' compression class when multiple compression classes can provide decompression support for a given input stream. Claases that have a higher priority will be preferred.
      Specified by:
      priority in interface ICompressProvider
      Returns:
      the priority of this decompression method vs similar other compression methods that may be avaialble.

      public boolean provides(int mag1, int mag2)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: ICompressProvider
      Checks if this compression method can support the magic integer number that is used to identify the type of compression at the beginning of compressed files, and is stored as the first 2 bytes of compressed data.
      Specified by:
      provides in interface ICompressProvider
      Parameters:
      mag1 - the first byte of the compressed file
      mag2 - the second byte of the compressed file
      Returns:
      true if this class can be used to decompress the given file, or else false.
