Constructors

	Name	Description
	RunLength	Uses file names to direct input and output

Methods

	Name	Description
	Compress	Reads a sequence of bits from standard input; compresses them using run-length coding with 8-bit run lengths; and writes the results to standard output.
	Expand	Reads a sequence of bits from standard input (that are encoded using run-length encoding with 8-bit run lengths); decodes them; and writes the results to standard output.
	MainTest	Sample client that calls compress() if the command-line argument is "-" an expand() if it is "+".
