datamemoryview

compressedbytes-like

A block of compressed data

decompress(data: Iterable[bytes], out: memoryview, **kwargs) → int

Decompress data, writing the result into out.

dataIterable of bytes-like

An Iterable of bytes-like objects containing chunks of compressed data.

outread-write bytes-like

A contiguous, 1D output array, of equal or greater length than the decompressed data.
