This class is a subclass of
java.io.FilterOutputStream; it filters a stream of
data by compressing (deflating) it and then writing the compressed
data to another output stream. To create a
DeflaterOutputStream, you must specify both the
stream it is to write to and a Deflater object to
perform the compression. You can set various options on the
Deflater object to specify just what type of
compression is to be performed. Once a
DeflaterOutputStream is created, its
write( ) and close( ) methods
are the same as those of other output streams. The
InflaterInputStream class can read data written
with a DeflaterOutputStream. A
DeflaterOutputStream writes raw compressed data;
applications often prefer one of its subclasses,
GZIPOutputStream or
ZipOutputStream, that wraps the raw compressed
data within a standard file format.
