All Implemented Interfaces:

TarConstants

public class TarEntry

extends java.lang.Object

implements TarConstants

This class represents an entry in a Tar archive. It consists of the entry's header, as well as the entry's File. Entries can be instantiated in one of three ways, depending on how they are to be used.

TarEntries that are created from the header bytes read from an archive are instantiated with the TarEntry( byte[] ) constructor. These entries will be used when extracting from or listing the contents of an archive. These entries have their header filled in using the header bytes. They also set the File to null, since they reference an archive entry not a file.

TarEntries that are created from Files that are to be written into an archive are instantiated with the TarEntry( File ) constructor. These entries have their header filled in using the File's information. They also keep a reference to the File for convenience when writing entries.

Finally, TarEntries can be constructed from nothing but a name. This allows the programmer to construct the entry by hand, for instance when only an InputStream is available for writing to the archive, and the header information is constructed from other information. In this case the header fields are set to defaults and the File is set to null.

The C structure for a Tar Entry's header is:

 struct header {
 char name[NAMSIZ];
 char mode[8];
 char uid[8];
 char gid[8];
 char size[12];
 char mtime[12];
 char chksum[8];
 char linkflag;
 char linkname[NAMSIZ];
 char magic[8];
 char uname[TUNMLEN];
 char gname[TGNMLEN];
 char devmajor[8];
 char devminor[8];
 } header;

Constructor Detail

TarEntry

public TarEntry(java.lang.String name)

Construct an entry with only a name. This allows the programmer to construct the entry's header "by hand". File is set to null.

TarEntry

public TarEntry(java.lang.String name,
                byte linkFlag)

Construct an entry with a name an a link flag.

TarEntry

public TarEntry(java.io.File file)

Construct an entry for a file. File is set to file, and the header is constructed from information from the file.

Parameters:

file - The file that the entry represents.

TarEntry

public TarEntry(byte[] headerBuf)

Construct an entry from an archive's header bytes. File is set to null.

Parameters:

headerBuf - The header bytes from a tar archive entry.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(TarEntry it)

Determine if the two entries are equal. Equality is determined by the header names being equal.

Returns:

it Entry to be checked for equality.

isDescendent

public boolean isDescendent(TarEntry desc)

Determine if the given entry is a descendant of this entry. Descendancy is determined by the name of the descendant starting with this entry's name.

Parameters:

desc - Entry to be checked as a descendent of this.

Returns:

True if entry is a descendant of this.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Get this entry's name.

Returns:

This entry's name.

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

Set this entry's name.
