Values defined using this time represent the compression level to be used when compressing an entry.

If unchanged, use the DEFAULT_COMPRESSION value.

It is possible to change the compression level to NO_COMPRESSION or use the setMethod() with STORED to avoid any compression (i.e. create a zip file which awfully looks like a tarball).

Todo

These values are one to one mapped to zlib compression values. This is likely to change once we start offering other compression scheme for a number defined between 0 and 100 instead.

This constructor initializes a DirectoryEntry which represents a file on disk. If the basepath + filename does not exist or is neither a regular file or a directory, then this entry is created but marked as invalid.

Parameters

filename The filename of the entry.
comment A comment for the entry.

The destructor is defined as it has to be virtual.

It will eventually clean up resources used by the DirectoryEntry class.

Definition at line 92 of file directoryentry.cpp.

The clone function creates a copy of this DirectoryEntry object.

In most cases, when a collection is copied, a clone of each entry is created to avoid potential problems with sharing the same object between various lists.

Returns

A shared pointer of the new DirectoryEntry object.

Implements zipios::FileEntry.

This function returns the comment of this entry.

If the entry was not assigned a comment, this function returns an empty string. All entries can be given a comment, although for most it will be ignored unless you save the file to a Zip archive.

Returns

The comment associated with this entry, if there is one.

Definition at line 149 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::FileEntry::m_comment.

This function returns the compressed size of the entry. If the entry is not stored in a compressed format, the uncompressed size is returned.

Returns

The compressed size of the entry.

This function returns the CRC 32 of this entry, if it has one.

The CRC is set only after the file is compressed so it may not always be available. The hasCrc() function can be used to know whether it was set before.

Returns

The CRC32 for the entry, if it has one.

Todo

Should we throw if m_has_crc_32 is false?

This function retrieves the offset at which this FileEntry resides in the Zip archive it is attached to.

Note that in case of a Zip archive embedded in another file, the offset is virtual (relative to the start of the Zip archive in the larger file.)

Returns

The position in the Zip archive.

Definition at line 201 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::FileEntry::m_entry_offset.

This function returns a copy of the vector of bytes of extra data that are stored with the entry.

This buffer should be generated using the still non-existent ZipExtra class. This includes definitions of additional meta data necessary on various operating systems. For example, Linux makes use of the 'UT' (Universal Time) to save the atime, ctime, and mtime parameters, and 'ux' (Unix) to save the Unix permissions and user identifier (uid) and group identifier (gid).

Returns

A buffer_t of extra bytes that are associated with this entry.

Definition at line 221 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::FileEntry::m_extra_field.

This function returns the filename only of the entry.

Warning

The function returns the last segment of the filename whether it is a regular file or a directory so one can search for a directory with the MATCH or IGNORE search options.

Returns

The filename of the entry.

Definition at line 319 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::FilePath::filename(), and zipios::FileEntry::m_filename.

This function determines the size of the Zip archive header necessary for that file.

By default the function returns zero meaning that no header is defined.

Returns

The size of the header in bytes.

Definition at line 236 of file fileentry.cpp.

Use this function to read the compression level to use to compress a file.

Note that the compression level is rarely saved in the destination file, so after reading a file from a Zip archive this parameter is set to the default compression level which does not represent the level used to create the file.

The compression level is a number between 1 and 100 if compression is wanted. 0 for no compression. A few negative numbers represent various default compression levels.

Returns

The compression level to use to write this entry to a Zip archive.

This function returns the date and time of the entry in MS-DOS date/time format.

Note

An MS-DOS date is limited to 127 years starting on 1980. So it will be over after Dec 31, 2107.

Returns

The date and time of the entry in MS-DOS format.

Definition at line 348 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::DOSDateTime::getDOSDateTime(), zipios::FileEntry::m_unix_time, and zipios::DOSDateTime::setUnixTimestamp().

This function returns the date and time of the entry in Unix date/time format (see time()).

Note

The FileEntry object saves the time as a Unix time_t value, however, the Zip file format uses the DOS time format. So for a Zip file, the precision of the date is to the next even second. Yet, this function may return a value which is odd when the time comes from a file on disk.

Unless you have an old 32 bit system that defines time_t as a 32 bit value, a Unix date can be considered infinite. Otherwise it is limited to some time in 2068.

Returns

The date and time of the entry as a time_t value.

This function returns true if the setCrc() function was called earlier with a valid CRC32 and the FileEntry implementation supports a CRC (i.e. a DirectoryEntry does not have a CRC).

Returns

true if a CRC32 is defined in this class.

Definition at line 394 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::FileEntry::m_has_crc_32.

This function checks the last character of the filename, if it is a separator ('/') then the function returns true meaning that the file represents a directory.

Returns

true if the entry represents a directory.

This function compares most of the fields between two file entries to see whether they are equal or not.

Note

This function calls the base class isEqual() and also verifies that the object comments are equal.

Parameters

file_entry The file entry to compare this against.

Returns

true if both FileEntry objects are considered equal.

This function saves the compressed size of the entry in this object.

By default the compressed size is viewed as the same as the uncompressed size (i.e. as if STORED was used for the compression method.)

Parameters

size Value to set the compressed size field of the entry to.

Reimplemented in zipios::ZipLocalEntry.

Definition at line 486 of file fileentry.cpp.

This function saves the CRC field in this FileEntry field.

Parameters

crc value to set the crc field to.

Reimplemented in zipios::ZipLocalEntry.

Definition at line 498 of file fileentry.cpp.

This function defines the position of the FileEntry in a Zip archive. By default the position is set to zero.

The offset is generally read from a Zip directory entry.

When used to seek in a file, the FileCollection will add the start offset defined in the VirtualSeeker. In other words this is the position in the Zip archive itself, not the final position in the file you are reading the archive from.

Parameters

offset The new archive entry offset.

Definition at line 518 of file fileentry.cpp.

References zipios::FileEntry::m_entry_offset.

This function is used to set the extra field.

Only one type of file entry supports an extra field buffer. The others do nothing when this function is called.

Parameters

extra The extra field is set to this value.

This function saves the level of compression the library should use to compress the file before saving it in the output file.

Note

If the StorageMethod is set to STORED, then the compression level is ignored, but it is left unchanged.

Exceptions

InvalidStateException This function raises this exception if the specified level is out of the allowed range.

Parameters

level The compression level to use to compress the file data.

References zipios::FileEntry::COMPRESSION_LEVEL_MAXIMUM, zipios::FileEntry::COMPRESSION_LEVEL_MINIMUM, zipios::FileEntry::COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE, zipios::FileEntry::isDirectory(), and zipios::FileEntry::m_compression_level.

This function sets the method with which the file data is to be compressed.

The method is ignored in a file entry which cannot be compressed. (or more precisely, the method is forced as STORED.)

Exceptions

InvalidStateException This exception is raised if the method parameter does not represent a supported method. At this time the library only supports STORED and DEFLATED. The getMethod() may return more types as read from a Zip archive, but it is not possible to set such types using this function.

Parameters

method The method field is set to the specified value.

References zipios::FileEntry::m_uncompressed_size.

This function saves the specified dosdatetime value as the last modification date and time of this entry. This is generally used when reading that information * from a Zip archive. Otherwise you probably want to use the setUnixTime() instead since it is one to one compatible with the value handle by time(), stat(), and other OS functions.

Parameters

dosdatetime Set time field as is using this MS-DOS date/time value.
