The methods of the Deflater class are listed below. For a complete list of Deflater class members, see the Deflater Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 Deflate | Overloaded. Deflates the current input block with to the given array. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| Finish | 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. |
| Flush | 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(). |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetLevel | Get current compression level |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| Reset | Resets the deflater. The deflater acts afterwards as if it was just created with the same compression level and strategy as it had before. |
| SetDictionary | Overloaded. Sets the dictionary which should be used in the deflate process. This call is equivalent to setDictionary(dict, 0, dict.Length). |
| SetInput | Overloaded. Sets the data which should be compressed next. This should be only called when needsInput indicates that more input is needed. If you call setInput when needsInput() returns false, the previous input that is still pending will be thrown away. The given byte array should not be changed, before needsInput() returns true again. This call is equivalent to setInput(input, 0, input.length). |
| SetLevel | 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. |
| SetStrategy | 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. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Protected Instance Methods
 Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
