ZCompressData Property

(Decompression only) The LZC compressed file contents as a byte array.

Syntax

 zcompress.setZCompressData( ZCompressData_Buffer, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getZCompressData([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, buffer){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'buffer' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setZCompressData([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Normally you should set ArchiveFile before invoking Extract. If you prefer to read the LZC compressed file from memory you may set ZCompressData instead. ZCompressData should be set to the entire contents of the LZC compressed file; this will allow you to read from the archive without writing any temporary files to disk.

If you would like to extract data from the archive without ever writing to disk you should also set WriteToProgressEvent to true, and you should set the value of FileDecompressedName to an empty string. Then, when you invoke Extract the data will be provided in the Progress event.

This property is write-only. Note that modifying a LZC compressed file stored in ZCompressData is not supported.

This property is write-only and not available at design time.
