Source position: zstream.pp line 71

public 
constructor Tcompressionstream.create(level: Tcompressionlevel; 
                                     dest: TStream; 
                                     Askipheader: Boolean=False);

Description

Create creates a new instance of the compression stream. It merely calls the inherited constructor with the destination stream Dest and stores the compression level.

If ASkipHeader is set to True, the method will not write the block header to the stream. This is required for deflated data in a zip file.

Note that the compressed data is only completely written after the compression stream is destroyed.
