TarFile

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
protected boolean	read True after we've done the expensive read.
protected Vector	list The list of entries found in the archive
public static final int	RECORDSIZE Size of header block.
protected int	blocking
protected int	blocksize
protected String	fileName File containing archive
protected RandomAccessFile	is The main datastream.

Constructors Summary
public TarFile(String name) Construct (open) a Tar file by name fileName = name; list = new Vector();
public TarFile(File name) Construct (open) a Tar file by File this(name.getCanonicalPath());

Methods Summary
public void	close() try { is.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // nothing to do }
public java.util.Enumeration	entries() if (!read) { readFile(); } return list.elements();
public TarEntry	getEntry(java.lang.String name) Returns the Tar entry for the specified name, or null if not found. for (int i=0; i<list.size(); i++) { TarEntry e = (TarEntry)list.elementAt(i); if (name.equals(e.getName())) return e; } return null;
public java.io.InputStream	getInputStream(TarEntry entry) Returns an InputStream for reading the contents of the specified entry from the archive. May cause the entire file to be read. return null;
public java.lang.String	getName() Returns the path name of the Tar file. return fileName;
protected void	readFile() Read the Tar archive in its entirety. This is semi-lazy evaluation, in that we don't read the file until we need to. A future revision may use even lazier evaluation: in getEntry, scan the list and, if not found, continue reading! For now, just read the whole file. is = new RandomAccessFile(fileName, "r"); TarEntry hdr; try { do { hdr = new TarEntry(is); if (hdr.getSize() < 0) { System.out.println("Size < 0"); break; } // System.out.println(hdr.toString()); list.addElement(hdr); // Get the size of the entry int nbytes = hdr.getSize(), diff; // Round it up to blocksize. if ((diff = (nbytes % RECORDSIZE)) != 0) { nbytes += RECORDSIZE - diff; } // And skip over the data portion. // System.out.println("Skipping " + nbytes + " bytes"); is.skipBytes(nbytes); } while (true); } catch (EOFException e) { // OK, just stop reading. } // All done, say we've read the contents. read = true;
public int	size() Returns the number of entries in the Tar archive. May cause the entire file to be read. XXX Obviously not written yet, sorry. return 0;
