Constructors

Sr.No.	Constructor & Description
1	InflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out)Creates a new output stream with a default decompressor and buffer size.
2	InflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, Inflater infl)Creates a new output stream with the specified decompressor and a default buffer size.
3	InflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out, Inflater infl, int bufLen)Creates a new output stream with the specified decompressor and buffer size.

Class Methods

Sr.No.	Method & Description
1	void close()Writes remaining compressed data to the output stream and closes the underlying stream.
2	void finish()Finishes writing uncompressed data to the output stream without closing the underlying stream.
3	void flush()Flushes this output stream, forcing any pending buffered output bytes to be written.
4	void write(byte[] b, int off, int len)Writes an array of bytes to the compressed output stream.
5	void write(int b)Writes a byte to the compressed output stream.
