zlib.ZStream.Flush

zlib.ZStream.Flush

Method Signature

 Private Sub Flush() Implements Writeable.Flush
 Sub Flush(Flushing As Integer)

Remarks

Flushes the compression stream according to the Flushing parameter. If called on the Writeable interface then Z_SYNC_FLUSH is used as the Flushing parameter.

The Flushing parameter may be one of the following:

Name	Comment
Z_NO_FLUSH	Allows zlib to decide how much data to accumulate before producing output.
Z_SYNC_FLUSH	All pending output is flushed to the output stream and the output is aligned on a byte boundary.
Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH	All pending output is flushed to the output stream but the output is not aligned to a byte boundary.
Z_BLOCK	A deflate block is completed and written to the output stream but the output is not aligned on a byte boundary.
Z_FULL_FLUSH	Like Z_SYNC_FLUSH, and the compression state is reset so that decompression can restart from this point with ZStream.Sync.
Z_FINISH	Processing is finished and all remaining output is written to the output stream. Equivalent to calling ZStream.Close.
