Decompression objects support the following methods, and two attributes:
\begin{memberdesc}
{
unused
_
data
}
A string which contains any unused data from the last string fed to
this decompression object. If the whole string turned out to contain
compressed data, this is
\code
{
""
}
, the empty string.
A string which contains any bytes past the end of the compressed data.
That is, this remains
\code
{
""
}
until the last byte that contains
compression data is available. If the whole string turned out to
contain compressed data, this is
\code
{
""
}
, the empty string.
The only way to determine where a string of compressed data ends is by
actually decompressing it. This means that when compressed data is
contained part of a larger file, you can only find the end of it by
reading data and feeding it
into a decompression object's
\method
{
decompress
}
method until the
\member
{
unused
_
data
}
attribute is
no longer the empty string.
