      Parameters:
        `in` - input stream to read the uncompressed data to
        `defl` - compressor ("deflater") for this stream
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `in` or `defl` is null

    - #### DeflaterInputStream

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Closes this input stream and its underlying input stream, discarding any pending uncompressed data.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws IOException

      Reads a single byte of compressed data from the input stream. This method will block until some input can be read and compressed.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        a single byte of compressed data, or -1 if the end of the uncompressed input stream is reached
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or if this stream is already closed
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b,
                          int off,
                          int len)
                   throws IOException

      Reads compressed data into a byte array. This method will block until some input can be read and compressed.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - buffer into which the data is read
        `off` - starting offset of the data within `b`
        `len` - maximum number of compressed bytes to read into `b`
      Returns:
        the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the uncompressed input stream is reached
      Throws:
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `len > b.length - off`
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or if this input stream is already closed
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### skip

          public long skip(long n)
                    throws IOException

      Skips over and discards data from the input stream. This method may block until the specified number of bytes are read and skipped. Note: While `n` is given as a `long`, the maximum number of bytes which can be skipped is `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.
      Overrides:
        `skip` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `n` - number of bytes to be skipped
      Returns:
        the actual number of bytes skipped
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or if this stream is already closed

    - #### available

          public int available()
                        throws IOException

      Returns 0 after EOF has been reached, otherwise always return 1.

      Programs should not count on this method to return the actual number of bytes that could be read without blocking

      Overrides:
        `available` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        zero after the end of the underlying input stream has been reached, otherwise always returns 1
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or if this stream is already closed

    - #### markSupported

          public boolean markSupported()

      Always returns `false` because this input stream does not support the `mark()` and `reset()` methods.
      Overrides:
        `markSupported` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        false, always
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`, `InputStream.mark(int)`, `InputStream.reset()`

    - #### mark

          public void mark(int limit)

      This operation is not supported.
      Overrides:
        `mark` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `limit` - maximum bytes that can be read before invalidating the position marker
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`, `FilterInputStream.reset()`

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws IOException

      This operation is not supported.
      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Throws:
