Truncated output of gunzip if SIZE footer is incorrect about fflate HOT 5 CLOSED

Added this to the docs. This will be in the TypeScript IntelliSense in v0.8.1.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this! If I understand your changes correctly, they document the case where a too-small out buffer is supplied. What about the repro code above, where the input data contains an incorrect size footer?

You're right, I forgot to add that to the docs. Will fix soon.

Bummer, I was hoping for a "real" fix ;) But thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it!

If you really want to, you can ignore the size in the GZIP header by using the streaming API:

import { Gunzip } from 'fflate';

const out = [];

new Gunzip(c => out.push(c)).push(gzipData, true);

const result = out.length !== 1
  ? new Uint8Array(out.reduce((a, b) => a + b.byteLength, 0))
  : out[0];

if (out.length !== 1) {
  let offset = 0;
  for (const chunk of out) {
    result.set(chunk, offset);
    offset += chunk.byteLength;
  }
}

You can do something similar with AsyncGunzip but you need to do the concatenation in the callback instead of outside.
