zlib.ZStream.CreatePipe (Deprecated)

Method Signature

 Shared Function CreatePipe(InputStream As Readable, OutputStream As Writeable, CompressionLevel As Integer = zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, CompressionStrategy As Integer = zlib.Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY, Encoding As Integer = zlib.DEFLATE_ENCODING, MemoryLevel As Integer = zlib.DEFAULT_MEM_LVL) As zlib.ZStream

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
InputStream	Readable	Compressed input will be read from this object
OutputStream	Writeable	Compressed output will be written to this object
CompressionLevel	Integer	Optional. The compression level for the stream. Valid levels are 1(fast) to 9(best)
CompressionStrategy	Integer	Optional. The compression strategy for the stream.
Encoding	Integer	Optional. The type of compression.
MemoryLevel	Integer	Optional. The memory level.

Return value

A new instance of ZStream, or Nil on error

Remarks

This method has been deprecated; do not use. Users needing equivalent functionality should create a custom subclass of ZStream and call its protected constructors instead.

Creates a compressed pipe from two endpoints, or a readable and writeable stream if both endpoints represent the same stream.
