Ocamlnet 3 Reference Manual : Netcompression

# Module Netcompression

    module Netcompression: sig .. end

Registry for compression algorithms

This registry is initially empty. The `Netgzip` module can be used to register the `gzip` algorithm, just run

     Netgzip.init()

to get this effect.

    val register : iana_name:string ->
           ?encoder:(unit -> Netchannels.io_obj_channel) ->
           ?decoder:(unit -> Netchannels.io_obj_channel) -> unit -> unit

Registers a compression algorithm. The algorithm is given as a pair of functions returning `Netchannels.io_obj_channel`.

    val lookup_encoder : iana_name:string -> unit -> Netchannels.io_obj_channel

Returns the encoder, or raises `Not_found`

    val lookup_decoder : iana_name:string -> unit -> Netchannels.io_obj_channel

Returns the decoder, or raises `Not_found`

    val all_encoders : unit -> string list

    val all_decoders : unit -> string list

The iana names of all encoders and decoders, resp.
