Items

Item	Signature	Description
encode	fn encode(data: Vec<u8>, level: i64) -> Result<Vec<u8>, errors::Error>	Compresses bytes at level, 0 (store only) to 9 (best); gzip(1) uses 6.
decode	fn decode(data: Vec<u8>) -> Result<Vec<u8>, errors::Error>	Decompresses a gzip payload; concatenated members decode as one stream. Output is unbounded - use decode_limited for untrusted input.
decode_limited	fn decode_limited(data: Vec<u8>, max_bytes: i64) -> Result<Vec<u8>, errors::Error>	decode(data), refusing output past max_bytes: an archive bomb answers Err instead of exhausting memory.
