## Constructor Details

### DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, Deflater def, int size, boolean syncFlush)
Creates a new output stream with the specified compressor, buffer size and flush mode.

Parameters:
  `out` - the output stream
  `def` - the compressor ("deflater")
  `size` - the output buffer size
  `syncFlush` - if `true` the `flush()` method of this instance flushes the compressor with flush mode `Deflater.SYNC_FLUSH` before flushing the output stream, otherwise only flushes the output stream
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if `size <= 0`
Since:
  1.7

### DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, Deflater def, int size)
Creates a new output stream with the specified compressor and buffer size.

The new output stream instance is created as if by invoking the 4-argument constructor DeflaterOutputStream(out, def, size, false).

Parameters:
  `out` - the output stream
  `def` - the compressor ("deflater")
  `size` - the output buffer size
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if `size <= 0`

### DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, Deflater def, boolean syncFlush)
Creates a new output stream with the specified compressor, flush mode and a default buffer size.

Parameters:
  `out` - the output stream
  `def` - the compressor ("deflater")
  `syncFlush` - if `true` the `flush()` method of this instance flushes the compressor with flush mode `Deflater.SYNC_FLUSH` before flushing the output stream, otherwise only flushes the output stream
Since:
  1.7

### DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, Deflater def)
Creates a new output stream with the specified compressor and a default buffer size.

The new output stream instance is created as if by invoking the 3-argument constructor DeflaterOutputStream(out, def, false).

Parameters:
  `out` - the output stream
  `def` - the compressor ("deflater")

### DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, boolean syncFlush)
Creates a new output stream with a default compressor, a default buffer size and the specified flush mode.

Parameters:
  `out` - the output stream
  `syncFlush` - if `true` the `flush()` method of this instance flushes the compressor with flush mode `Deflater.SYNC_FLUSH` before flushing the output stream, otherwise only flushes the output stream
Since:
  1.7

### DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Creates a new output stream with a default compressor and buffer size.

The new output stream instance is created as if by invoking the 2-argument constructor DeflaterOutputStream(out, false).

Parameters:
  `out` - the output stream

## Method Details

### write

public void write(int b) throws IOException
Writes a byte to the compressed output stream. This method will block until the byte can be written.

Overrides:
  `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
Parameters:
  `b` - the byte to be written
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

### write

public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
Writes an array of bytes to the compressed output stream. This method will block until all the bytes are written.

Overrides:
  `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
Parameters:
  `b` - the data to be written
  `off` - the start offset of the data
  `len` - the length of the data
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
See Also:
  - `FilterOutputStream.write(int)`

### finish

public void finish() throws IOException
Finishes writing compressed data to the output stream without closing the underlying stream. Use this method when applying multiple filters in succession to the same output stream.

Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

### close

public void close() throws IOException
Writes remaining compressed data to the output stream and closes the underlying stream.

Specified by:
  `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
Specified by:
  `close` in interface `Closeable`
Overrides:
  `close` in class `FilterOutputStream`
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
See Also:
  - `FilterOutputStream.flush()`
  - `FilterOutputStream.out`

### deflate

protected void deflate() throws IOException
Writes next block of compressed data to the output stream.

Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

### flush

public void flush() throws IOException
Flushes the compressed output stream. If `syncFlush` is `true` when this compressed output stream is constructed, this method first flushes the underlying `compressor` with the flush mode `Deflater.SYNC_FLUSH` to force all pending data to be flushed out to the output stream and then flushes the output stream. Otherwise this method only flushes the output stream without flushing the `compressor`.

Specified by:
  `flush` in interface `Flushable`
Overrides:
  `flush` in class `FilterOutputStream`
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
Since:
  1.7

  - `FilterOutputStream.out`
