## Class GzipCompressorOutputStream

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.OutputStream
  - - org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.CompressorOutputStream
    - - org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.gzip.GzipCompressorOutputStream

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

      public class GzipCompressorOutputStream
      extends CompressorOutputStream

  Compressed output stream using the gzip format. This implementation improves over the standard `GZIPOutputStream` class by allowing the configuration of the compression level and the header metadata (filename, comment, modification time, operating system and extra flags).
