Inherited Members
object.GetType(), object.MemberwiseClone(), object.ToString(), object.Equals(object?), object.Equals(object?, object?), object.ReferenceEquals(object?, object?), object.GetHashCode()

Constructors
GzipArchive()
Initializes a new instance of the Aspose.Zip.Gzip.GzipArchive class prepared for compressing.
public GzipArchive()Examples
The following example shows how to compress a file.
using (GzipArchive archive = new GzipArchive())
{
archive.SetSource("data.bin");
archive.Save("archive.gz");
}GzipArchive(Stream, bool)
Initializes a new instance of the Aspose.Zip.Gzip.GzipArchive class prepared for decompressing.
public GzipArchive(Stream sourceStream, bool parseHeader = false)Parameters
sourceStream Stream
The source of the archive.
parseHeader bool
Whether to parse stream header to figure out properties, including name. Makes sense for seekable stream only.
Examples
Open an archive from a stream and extract it to a MemoryStream
var ms = new MemoryStream();
using (GzipArchive archive = new GzipArchive(File.OpenRead("archive.gz")))
archive.Open().CopyTo(ms);Remarks
This constructor does not decompress. See Aspose.Zip.Gzip.GzipArchive.Open method for decompressing.
Exceptions
sourceStream is null.
sourceStream is too short.
The sourceStream has wrong signature.
GzipArchive(string, bool)
Initializes a new instance of the Aspose.Zip.Gzip.GzipArchive class.
public GzipArchive(string path, bool parseHeader = false)Parameters
path string
The path to the archive file.
parseHeader bool
Whether to parse stream header to figure out properties, including name. Makes sense for seekable stream only.
Examples
Open an archive from file by path and extract it to a MemoryStream
var ms = new MemoryStream();
using (GzipArchive archive = new GzipArchive("archive.gz"))
archive.Open().CopyTo(ms);Remarks
This constructor does not decompress. See Aspose.Zip.Gzip.GzipArchive.Open method for decompressing.
Exceptions
path is null.
The caller does not have the required permission to access.
The path is empty, contains only white spaces, or contains invalid characters.
Access to file path is denied.
The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters.
File at path contains a colon (:) in the middle of the string.
File is too short.
Data in the file has wrong signature.
Properties
Name
Name of original file.
public string Name { get; }Property Value
Methods
Dispose()
Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
public void Dispose()Dispose(bool)
Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)Parameters
disposing bool
Whether managed resources should be disposed.
Extract(Stream)
Extracts the archive to the stream provided.
public void Extract(Stream destination)Parameters
destination Stream
Destination stream. Must be writable.
Examples
using (var archive = new GzipArchive("archive.gz"))
{
archive.Extract(httpResponseStream);
}Exceptions
destination does not support writing.
Stream is corrupted and does not contain valid data.
Extract(string)
Extracts the archive to the file by path.
public FileInfo Extract(string path)Parameters
path string
The path to destination file. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
Returns
Info of extracted file.
Exceptions
path is null.
The caller does not have the required permission to access.
The path is empty, contains only white spaces, or contains invalid characters.
Access to file path is denied.
The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters.
File at path contains a colon (:) in the middle of the string.
Stream is corrupted and does not contain valid data.
ExtractToDirectory(string)
Extracts content of the archive to the directory provided.
public void ExtractToDirectory(string destinationDirectory)Parameters
destinationDirectory string
The path to the directory to place the extracted files in.
Remarks
If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
Exceptions
destinationDirectory is null.
The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters and file names must be less than 260 characters.
The caller does not have the required permission to access existing directory.
If directory does not exist, path contains a colon character (:) that is not part of a drive label (“C:").
destinationDirectory is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one or more invalid characters. You can query for invalid characters by using the System.IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars method.
-or- path is prefixed with, or contains, only a colon character (:).
The directory specified by path is a file. -or- The network name is not known.
Open()
Opens the archive for extraction and provides a stream with archive content.
public Stream Open()Returns
The stream that represents the contents of the archive.
Examples
Extracts the archive and copies extracted content to file stream.
using (var archive = new GzipArchive("archive.gz"))
{
using (var extracted = File.Create("data.bin"))
{
var unpacked = archive.Open();
byte[] b = new byte[8192];
int bytesRead;
while (0 < (bytesRead = unpacked.Read(b, 0, b.Length)))
extracted.Write(b, 0, bytesRead);
}
}You may use Stream.CopyTo method for .NET 4.0 and higher: `unpacked.CopyTo(extracted);`
Remarks
Read from the stream to get original content of file. See examples section.

}Exceptions
destinationFileName is null.
The caller does not have the required permission to access.
The destinationFileName is empty, contains only white spaces, or contains invalid characters.
Access to file destinationFileName is denied.
The specified destinationFileName, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters.
File at destinationFileName contains a colon (:) in the middle of the string.

Examples
Open an archive from file by path and extract it to a MemoryStream
using (var archive = new GzipArchive())
{
archive.SetSource("data.bin");

}Exceptions
path is null.
The caller does not have the required permission to access.
