Gzip (String function)

Compress a longstring with GZIP (String class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.4]

Syntax

%outString = string:Gzip[( [FixedCode= boolean], [LazyMatch= boolean], - [MaxChain= number], [Filename= string], - [LastModified= number])]

Syntax terms

%outString	The result of the GZIP operation, compressing the method object string.
string	The string to be compressed by the GZIP operation.
FixedCode	Boolean value. (This and other term descriptions are under construction).
LazyMatch	Boolean value
MaxChain	number
Filename	string
LastModified	The date/time stamp to be stored as a component of %outString, expressed as the number of milliseconds since 12:00 AM, Jan 1, 1900. The default is the current date and time (that is, %(System):CurrentTimeMilliseconds). After Gzip stores a value into %outString, the LastModified date/time stamp can be obtained with the GunzipDatetimeNS function, but note that its output is in seconds, not milliseconds.

Usage notes

• The inverse of Gzip is Gunzip.
