          public InflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out)

      Creates a new output stream with a default decompressor and buffer size.
      Parameters:
        `out` - output stream to write the uncompressed data to
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `out` is null

    - #### InflaterOutputStream

          public InflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out,
                              Inflater infl)

      Creates a new output stream with the specified decompressor and a default buffer size.
      Parameters:
        `out` - output stream to write the uncompressed data to
        `infl` - decompressor ("inflater") for this stream
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `out` or `infl` is null

    - #### InflaterOutputStream

          public InflaterOutputStream(OutputStream out,
                              Inflater infl,
                              int bufLen)

      Creates a new output stream with the specified decompressor and buffer size.
      Parameters:
        `out` - output stream to write the uncompressed data to
        `infl` - decompressor ("inflater") for this stream
        `bufLen` - decompression buffer size
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `bufLen` is <= 0

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Writes any remaining uncompressed data to the output stream and closes the underlying output stream.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `FilterOutputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs
      See Also:
        `FilterOutputStream.flush()`, `FilterOutputStream.out`

    - #### flush

          public void flush()
                     throws IOException

      Flushes this output stream, forcing any pending buffered output bytes to be written.
      Specified by:
        `flush` in interface `Flushable`
      Overrides:
        `flush` in class `FilterOutputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or this stream is already closed
      See Also:
        `FilterOutputStream.out`

    - #### finish

          public void finish()
                      throws IOException

      Finishes writing uncompressed data to the output stream without closing the underlying stream. Use this method when applying multiple filters in succession to the same output stream.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or this stream is already closed

    - #### write

          public void write(int b)
                     throws IOException

      Writes a byte to the uncompressed output stream.
      Overrides:
        `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - a single byte of compressed data to decompress and write to the output stream
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or this stream is already closed
        `ZipException` - if a compression (ZIP) format error occurs

    - #### write

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

      Writes an array of bytes to the uncompressed output stream.
      Overrides:
        `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - buffer containing compressed data to decompress and write to the output stream
        `off` - starting offset of the compressed data within `b`
        `len` - number of bytes to decompress from `b`
      Throws:
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `off` < 0, or if `len` < 0, or if `len` > `b.length - off`
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs or this stream is already closed
        `NullPointerException` - if `b` is null
