This filter stream is used to compress a stream into a "GZIP" stream. The "GZIP" format is described in RFC 1952. author of the original java version : John Leuner

Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Example

This sample shows how to gzip a file

using System;
using System.IO;

using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.GZip;
using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Core;

class MainClass
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
            using (Stream s = new GZipOutputStream(File.Create(args[0] + ".gz")))
            using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(args[0])) {
                byte[] writeData = new byte[4096];
                Streamutils.Copy(s, fs, writeData);
            }
        }
    }
}
