compress

Package provides a generic interface to compress and un-compress

Example

package main
  
import (
        "flag"
        "fmt"
        "io/ioutil"
        "log"
        "os"
        "strings"

        "github.com/mickep76/compress"
        _ "github.com/mickep76/compress/gzip"
        _ "github.com/mickep76/compress/lzw"
        _ "github.com/mickep76/compress/snappy"
        _ "github.com/mickep76/compress/xz"
        _ "github.com/mickep76/compress/zlib"
)

func usage() {
        fmt.Printf("Usage: example [options] file\n\nOptions:\n")
        flag.PrintDefaults()
        os.Exit(0)
}

        out := flag.String("out", "example", "Output.")
        algo := flag.String("algo", "gzip", fmt.Sprintf("Algorithms: [%s].", strings.Join(compress.Algorithms(), ", ")))
        dec := flag.Bool("dec", false, "Decode.")

        flag.Parse()

        if len(flag.Args()) < 1 {
                usage()
        }
        file := flag.Args()[0]

        if *dec {
                encoded, err := ioutil.ReadFile(file)

                        log.Fatal(err)
                }

                b, err := compress.Decode(*algo, encoded)
                if err != nil {
                        log.Fatal(err)
                }

                }

                encoded, err := compress.Encode(*algo, b)
                if err != nil {
                        log.Fatal(err)
                }

                if err := ioutil.WriteFile(*out+"."+*algo, encoded, 0644); err != nil {
                        log.Fatal(err)
                }
        }
