All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`, `InputStreamStatistics`

public class GzipCompressorInputStream extends CompressorInputStream implements InputStreamStatistics
Input stream that decompresses .gz files.

This supports decompressing concatenated .gz files which is important when decompressing standalone .gz files.

`GZIPInputStream` doesn't decompress concatenated .gz files: it stops after the first member and silently ignores the rest. It doesn't leave the read position to point to the beginning of the next member, which makes it difficult workaround the lack of concatenation support.

Instead of using `GZIPInputStream`, this class has its own .gz container format decoder. The actual decompression is done with `Inflater`.

If you use the constructor `GzipCompressorInputStream(in)` or `GzipCompressorInputStream(in, false)` with some `InputStream` `in` then `read()` will return -1 as soon as the first internal member has been read completely. The stream `in` will be positioned at the start of the second gzip member if there is one.

If you use the constructor `GzipCompressorInputStream(in, true)` with some `InputStream` `in` then `read()` will return -1 once the stream `in` has been exhausted. The data read from a stream constructed this way will consist of the concatenated data of all gzip members contained inside `in`.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### GzipCompressorInputStream

    public GzipCompressorInputStream(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException
    Constructs a new input stream that decompresses gzip-compressed data from the specified input stream.

    This is equivalent to `GzipCompressorInputStream(inputStream, false)` and thus will not decompress concatenated .gz files.

    Parameters:
      `inputStream` - the InputStream from which this object should be created of
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if the stream could not be created

  - ### GzipCompressorInputStream

    public GzipCompressorInputStream(InputStream inputStream, boolean decompressConcatenated) throws IOException
    Constructs a new input stream that decompresses gzip-compressed data from the specified input stream.

    If `decompressConcatenated` is `false`: This decompressor might read more input than it will actually use. If `inputStream` supports `mark` and `reset`, then the input position will be adjusted so that it is right after the last byte of the compressed stream. If `mark` isn't supported, the input position will be undefined.

    Parameters:
      `inputStream` - the InputStream from which this object should be created of
      `decompressConcatenated` - if true, decompress until the end of the input; if false, stop after the first .gz member
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if the stream could not be created

- ## Method Details

  - ### matches

    public static boolean matches(byte[] signature, int length)
    Checks if the signature matches what is expected for a .gz file.
    Parameters:
      `signature` - the bytes to check
      `length` - the number of bytes to check
    Returns:
      true if this is a .gz stream, false otherwise
    Since:
      1.1

  - ### close

    public void close() throws IOException
    Closes the input stream (unless it is System.in).
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `Closeable`
    Overrides:
      `close` in class `InputStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException`
    Since:
      1.2

  - ### getCompressedCount

    public long getCompressedCount()
    Specified by:
      `getCompressedCount` in interface `InputStreamStatistics`
    Returns:
      the amount of raw or compressed bytes read by the stream
    Since:
      1.17

  - ### getMetaData

    public GzipParameters getMetaData()
    Provides the stream's meta data - may change with each stream when decompressing concatenated streams.
    Returns:
      the stream's meta data
    Since:
      1.8

  - ### read

    public int read() throws IOException
    Specified by:
      `read` in class `InputStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### read

    public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
    Overrides:
      `read` in class `InputStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException`
    Since:
      1.1
