- - ### Field Detail

    - #### crc

          protected CRC32 crc

      CRC-32 for uncompressed data.

    - #### eos

          protected boolean eos

      Indicates end of input stream.

    - #### GZIP_MAGIC

          public static final int GZIP_MAGIC

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### GZIPInputStream

          public GZIPInputStream(InputStream in,
                         int size)
                          throws IOException

      Creates a new input stream with the specified buffer size.
      Parameters:
        `in` - the input stream
        `size` - the input buffer size
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if size is <= 0

    - #### GZIPInputStream

          public GZIPInputStream(InputStream in)
                          throws IOException

      Creates a new input stream with a default buffer size.
      Parameters:
        `in` - the input stream
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] buf,
                 int off,
                 int len)
                   throws IOException

      Reads uncompressed data into an array of bytes. If `len` is not zero, the method will block until some input can be decompressed; otherwise, no bytes are read and `0` is returned.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `InflaterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `buf` - the buffer into which the data is read
        `off` - the start offset in the destination array `b`
        `len` - the maximum number of bytes read
      Returns:
        the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the compressed input stream is reached
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - If `buf` is `null`.
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - If `off` is negative, `len` is negative, or `len` is greater than `buf.length - off`
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred or the compressed input data is corrupt
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `InflaterInputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`
