Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KArchive() [1/2]

KArchive::KArchive ( const QString & fileName )

protected

Base constructor (protected since this is a pure virtual class).

Parameters

fileName is a local path (e.g. "/tmp/myfile.ext"), from which the archive will be read from, or into which the archive will be written, depending on the mode given to open().

Definition at line 115 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ KArchive() [2/2]

KArchive::KArchive ( QIODevice * dev )

protected

Base constructor (protected since this is a pure virtual class).

Parameters

dev	the I/O device where the archive reads its data Note that this can be a file, but also a data buffer, a compression filter, etc. For a file in writing mode it is better to use the other constructor though, to benefit from the use of QSaveFile when saving.

Definition at line 126 of file karchive.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addLocalDirectory()

bool KArchive::addLocalDirectory	(	const QString &	path,
		const QString &	destName
	)

Writes a local directory into the archive, including all its contents, recursively.

Calls addLocalFile for each file to be added.

It will also add a path that is a symbolic link to a directory. The symbolic link will be dereferenced and the content of the directory it is pointing to added recursively. However, symbolic links under path will be stored as is.

Parameters

path	full path to an existing local directory, to be added to the archive.
destName	the resulting name (or relative path) of the file in the archive.

Definition at line 350 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ addLocalFile()

bool KArchive::addLocalFile	(	const QString &	fileName,
		const QString &	destName
	)

Writes a local file into the archive.

The main difference with writeFile, is that this method minimizes memory usage, by not loading the whole file into memory in one go.

If fileName is a symbolic link, it will be written as is, i. e. it will not be resolved before.

Parameters

fileName	full path to an existing local file, to be added to the archive.
destName	the resulting name (or relative path) of the file in the archive.

Definition at line 264 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ close()

bool KArchive::close ( )

virtual

Closes the archive.

Inherited classes might want to reimplement closeArchive instead.

Returns: true if close succeeded without problems

See also: open

Definition at line 214 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ closeArchive()

virtual bool KArchive::closeArchive ( )

protectedpure virtual

Closes the archive.

Called by close.

Implemented in KZip, KTar, KAr, KRcc, and K7Zip.

◆ createDevice()

bool KArchive::createDevice ( QIODevice::OpenMode mode )

protectedvirtual

Can be reimplemented in order to change the creation of the device (when using the fileName constructor).

By default this method uses QSaveFile when saving, and a simple QFile on reading. This method is called by open().

Reimplemented in KTar.

Definition at line 174 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ device()

QIODevice * KArchive::device ( ) const

The underlying device.

Returns: the underlying device.

Definition at line 618 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ directory()

const KArchiveDirectory * KArchive::directory ( ) const

If an archive is opened for reading, then the contents of the archive can be accessed via this function.

Returns: the directory of the archive

Definition at line 258 of file karchive.cpp.

Definition at line 628 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ findOrCreate()

KArchiveDirectory * KArchive::findOrCreate ( const QString & path )

protected

Ensures that path exists, create otherwise.

This handles e.g. tar files missing directory entries, like mico-2.3.0.tar.gz :)

Parameters

path	the path of the directory

Returns: the directory with the given path

Definition at line 521 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ finishWriting()

bool KArchive::finishWriting ( qint64 size )

Call finishWriting after writing the data.

Parameters

size	the size of the file

See also: prepareWriting()

Definition at line 469 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ isOpen()

bool KArchive::isOpen ( ) const

Checks whether the archive is open.

Returns: true if the archive is opened

Definition at line 623 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ mode()

QIODevice::OpenMode KArchive::mode ( ) const

Returns the mode in which the archive was opened.

Returns: the mode in which the archive was opened (QIODevice::ReadOnly or QIODevice::WriteOnly)

See also: open()

Definition at line 613 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ open()

bool KArchive::open ( QIODevice::OpenMode mode )

virtual

Opens the archive for reading or writing.

Inherited classes might want to reimplement openArchive instead.

Parameters

mode	may be QIODevice::ReadOnly or QIODevice::WriteOnly

See also: close

Definition at line 141 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ openArchive()

virtual bool KArchive::openArchive ( QIODevice::OpenMode mode )

protectedpure virtual

Opens an archive for reading or writing.

Called by open.

Parameters

mode	may be QIODevice::ReadOnly or QIODevice::WriteOnly

Implemented in KZip, KTar, KAr, K7Zip, and KRcc.

◆ prepareWriting()

bool KArchive::prepareWriting	(	const QString &	name,
		const QString &	user,
		const QString &	group,
		qint64	size,
		mode_t	perm = `0100644`,
		const QDateTime &	atime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	mtime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	ctime = `QDateTime()`
	)

Here's another way of writing a file into an archive: Call prepareWriting(), then call writeData() as many times as wanted then call finishWriting( totalSize ).

For tar.gz files, you need to know the size before hand, it is needed in the header! For zip files, size isn't used.

This method also allows some file metadata to be set. However, depending on the archive type not all metadata might be regarded.

Parameters

name	the name of the file
user	the user that owns the file
group	the group that owns the file
size	the size of the file
perm	permissions of the file
atime	time the file was last accessed
mtime	modification time of the file
ctime	time of last status change

Definition at line 453 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ rootDir()

KArchiveDirectory * KArchive::rootDir ( )

protectedvirtual

Retrieves or create the root directory.

The default implementation assumes that openArchive() did the parsing, so it creates a dummy rootdir if none was set (write mode, or no '/' in the archive). Reimplement this to provide parsing/listing on demand.

Returns: the root directory

Definition at line 509 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ setDevice()

void KArchive::setDevice ( QIODevice * dev )

protected

Can be called by derived classes in order to set the underlying device.

Note that KArchive will -not- own the device, it must be deleted by the derived class.

Definition at line 597 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ setErrorString()

void KArchive::setErrorString ( const QString & errorStr )

protected

Sets error description.

Parameters

errorStr error description

Since: 5.29

Definition at line 474 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ setRootDir()

void KArchive::setRootDir ( KArchiveDirectory * rootDir )

protected

Derived classes call setRootDir from openArchive, to set the root directory after parsing an existing archive.

Definition at line 606 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ writeData()

bool KArchive::writeData	(	const char *	data,
		qint64	size
	)

virtual

Write data into the current file - to be called after calling prepareWriting.

Reimplemented in KZip, and K7Zip.

Definition at line 414 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ writeDir()

bool KArchive::writeDir	(	const QString &	name,
		const QString &	user = `QString()`,
		const QString &	group = `QString()`,
		mode_t	perm = `040755`,
		const QDateTime &	atime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	mtime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	ctime = `QDateTime()`
	)

If an archive is opened for writing then you can add new directories using this function.

KArchive won't write one directory twice.

This method also allows some file metadata to be set. However, depending on the archive type not all metadata might be regarded.

Parameters

name	the name of the directory
user	the user that owns the directory
group	the group that owns the directory
perm	permissions of the directory
atime	time the file was last accessed
mtime	modification time of the file
ctime	time of last status change

Definition at line 430 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ writeFile() [1/2]

bool KArchive::writeFile	(	const QString &	name,
		const QByteArray &	data,
		mode_t	perm = `0100644`,
		const QString &	user = `QString()`,
		const QString &	group = `QString()`,
		const QDateTime &	atime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	mtime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	ctime = `QDateTime()`
	)

Writes a new file into the archive.

The archive must be opened for writing first.

The necessary parent directories are created automatically if needed. For instance, writing "mydir/test1" does not require creating the directory "mydir" first.

This method also allows some file metadata to be set. However, depending on the archive type not all metadata might be written out.

Parameters

name	the name of the file
data	the data to write
perm	permissions of the file
user	the user that owns the file
group	the group that owns the file
atime	time the file was last accessed
mtime	modification time of the file
ctime	time of last status change

Definition at line 385 of file karchive.cpp.

◆ writeFile() [2/2]

bool KArchive::writeFile	(	const QString &	name,
		const QString &	user,
		const QString &	group,
		const char *	data,
		qint64	size,
		mode_t	perm = `0100644`,
		const QDateTime &	atime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	mtime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	ctime = `QDateTime()`
	)

inline

Deprecated:: since 5.0, use writeFile(const QString&, const QByteArray&, mode_t, const QString&, const QString&, const QDateTime&, const QDateTime&, const QDateTime&)

Definition at line 199 of file karchive.h.

◆ writeSymLink()

bool KArchive::writeSymLink	(	const QString &	name,
		const QString &	target,
		const QString &	user = `QString()`,
		const QString &	group = `QString()`,
		mode_t	perm = `0120755`,
		const QDateTime &	atime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	mtime = `QDateTime()`,
		const QDateTime &	ctime = `QDateTime()`
	)

Writes a symbolic link to the archive if supported.

The archive must be opened for writing.

Parameters

name	name of symbolic link
target	target of symbolic link
user	the user that owns the directory
group	the group that owns the directory
perm	permissions of the directory
atime	time the file was last accessed
