42 The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate,
43 read, and write Zip archive files.
44 Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files.
46 Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings.
48 Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and
49 enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or
50 other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or
51 uncompressed as needed.
52 Members can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from
54 existing directories, files, or strings.
55 This module uses the Compress::Raw::Zlib library to read and write the
57 compressed streams inside the files.
58 One can use Archive::Zip::MemberRead to read the zip file archive
60 members as if they were files.
61 File Naming
63 Regardless of what your local file system uses for file naming, names
64 in a Zip file are in Unix format (forward slashes (/) separating
65 directory names, etc.).
66 "Archive::Zip" tries to be consistent with file naming conventions, and
68 will translate back and forth between native and Zip file names.
69 However, it can't guess which format names are in. So two rules control
71 what kind of file name you must pass various routines:
72 Names of files are in local format.
74 "File::Spec" and "File::Basename" are used for various file
75 operations. When you're referring to a file on your system, use its
76 file naming conventions.
77 Names of archive members are in Unix format.
79 This applies to every method that refers to an archive member, or
80 provides a name for new archive members. The "extract()" methods
81 that can take one or two names will convert from local to zip names
82 if you call them with a single name.
83 Archive::Zip Object Model
85 Overview
86 Archive::Zip::Archive objects are what you ordinarily deal with. These
87 maintain the structure of a zip file, without necessarily holding data.
88 When a zip is read from a disk file, the (possibly compressed) data
89 still lives in the file, not in memory. Archive members hold
90 information about the individual members, but not (usually) the actual
91 member data. When the zip is written to a (different) file, the member
92 data is compressed or copied as needed. It is possible to make archive
93 members whose data is held in a string in memory, but this is not done
94 when a zip file is read. Directory members don't have any data.

133 :ERROR_CODES
135 Explained below. Returned from most methods.
136 AZ_OK AZ_STREAM_END AZ_ERROR AZ_FORMAT_ERROR AZ_IO_ERROR
138
140 Many of the methods in Archive::Zip return error codes. These are
141 implemented as inline subroutines, using the "use constant" pragma.
142 They can be imported into your namespace using the ":ERROR_CODES" tag:
143 use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES );
145 ...
147 unless ( $zip->read( 'myfile.zip' ) == AZ_OK ) {
149 die "whoops!";
150 }
151 AZ_OK (0)
153 Everything is fine.
154 AZ_STREAM_END (1)
156 The read stream (or central directory) ended normally.
157 AZ_ERROR (2)
159 There was some generic kind of error.
160 AZ_FORMAT_ERROR (3)
162 There is a format error in a ZIP file being read.
163 AZ_IO_ERROR (4)
165 There was an IO error.
166 Compression
168 Archive::Zip allows each member of a ZIP file to be compressed (using
169 the Deflate algorithm) or uncompressed.
170 Other compression algorithms that some versions of ZIP have been able
172 to produce are not supported. Each member has two compression methods:
173 the one it's stored as (this is always COMPRESSION_STORED for string
174 and external file members), and the one you desire for the member in
175 the zip file.
176 These can be different, of course, so you can make a zip member that is
178 not compressed out of one that is, and vice versa.
179 You can inquire about the current compression and set the desired
181 compression method:
182 my $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
184 $member->compressionMethod(); # return current compression
185 # set to read uncompressed
187 $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
188 # set to read compressed
190 $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );
191 There are two different compression methods:
193 COMPRESSION_STORED
195 File is stored (no compression)
196 COMPRESSION_DEFLATED
198 File is Deflated
199 Compression Levels
201 If a member's desiredCompressionMethod is COMPRESSION_DEFLATED, you can
202 choose different compression levels. This choice may affect the speed
203 of compression and decompression, as well as the size of the compressed
204 member data.
205 $member->desiredCompressionLevel( 9 );
207 The levels given can be:
209 0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE
211 This is the same as saying
212 $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
214 1 .. 9
216 1 gives the best speed and worst compression, and 9 gives the best
217 compression and worst speed.
218 COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST
220 This is a synonym for level 1.
221 COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION
223 This is a synonym for level 9.
224 COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT
226 This gives a good compromise between speed and compression, and is
227 currently equivalent to 6 (this is in the zlib code). This is the
228 level that will be used if not specified.
229
231 The Archive::Zip class (and its invisible subclass
232 Archive::Zip::Archive) implement generic zip file functionality.
233 Creating a new Archive::Zip object actually makes an
234 Archive::Zip::Archive object, but you don't have to worry about this
235 unless you're subclassing.
236 Constructor
238 new( [$fileName] )
239 Make a new, empty zip archive.
240 my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
242 If an additional argument is passed, new() will call read() to read
244 the contents of an archive:
245 my $zip = Archive::Zip->new( 'xyz.zip' );
247 If a filename argument is passed and the read fails for any reason,
249 new will return undef. For this reason, it may be better to call
250 read separately.
251 Zip Archive Utility Methods
253 These Archive::Zip methods may be called as functions or as object
254 methods. Do not call them as class methods:
255 $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
257 $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' ); # OK
258 $crc = $zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' ); # also OK
259 $crc = Archive::Zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' ); # NOT OK
260 Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string [, $crc] )
262 This is a utility function that uses the Compress::Raw::Zlib CRC
263 routine to compute a CRC-32. You can get the CRC of a string:
264 $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string );
266 Or you can compute the running CRC:
268 $crc = 0;
270 $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'abcdef', $crc );
271 $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl', $crc );
272 Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( $number )
274 Report or change chunk size used for reading and writing. This can
275 make big differences in dealing with large files. Currently, this
276 defaults to 32K. This also changes the chunk size used for
277 Compress::Raw::Zlib. You must call setChunkSize() before reading or
278 writing. This is not exportable, so you must call it like:
279 Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( 4096 );
281 or as a method on a zip (though this is a global setting). Returns
283 old chunk size.
284 Archive::Zip::chunkSize()
286 Returns the current chunk size:
287 my $chunkSize = Archive::Zip::chunkSize();
289 Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&subroutine )
291 Change the subroutine called with error strings. This defaults to
292 \&Carp::carp, but you may want to change it to get the error
293 strings. This is not exportable, so you must call it like:
294 Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&myErrorHandler );
296 If myErrorHandler is undef, resets handler to default. Returns old
298 error handler. Note that if you call Carp::carp or a similar
299 routine or if you're chaining to the default error handler from
300 your error handler, you may want to increment the number of caller
301 levels that are skipped (do not just set it to a number):
302 $Carp::CarpLevel++;
304 Archive::Zip::tempFile( [$tmpdir] )
306 Create a uniquely named temp file. It will be returned open for
307 read/write. If $tmpdir is given, it is used as the name of a
308 directory to create the file in. If not given, creates the file
309 using "File::Spec::tmpdir()". Generally, you can override this
310 choice using the
311 $ENV{TMPDIR}
313 environment variable. But see the File::Spec documentation for your
315 system. Note that on many systems, if you're running in taint mode,
316 then you must make sure that $ENV{TMPDIR} is untainted for it to be
317 used. Will NOT create $tmpdir if it doesn't exist (this is a
318 change from prior versions!). Returns file handle and name:
319 my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile();
321 my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile('myTempDir');
322 my $fh = Archive::Zip::tempFile(); # if you don't need the name
323 Zip Archive Accessors
325 members()
326 Return a copy of the members array
327 my @members = $zip->members();
329 numberOfMembers()
331 Return the number of members I have
332 memberNames()
334 Return a list of the (internal) file names of the zip members
335 memberNamed( $string )
337 Return ref to member whose filename equals given filename or undef.
338 $string must be in Zip (Unix) filename format.
339 membersMatching( $regex )
341 Return array of members whose filenames match given regular
342 expression in list context. Returns number of matching members in
343 scalar context.
344 my @textFileMembers = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );
346 # or
347 my $numberOfTextFiles = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );
348 diskNumber()
350 Return the disk that I start on. Not used for writing zips, but
351 might be interesting if you read a zip in. This should be 0, as
352 Archive::Zip does not handle multi-volume archives.
353 diskNumberWithStartOfCentralDirectory()
355 Return the disk number that holds the beginning of the central
356 directory. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if
357 you read a zip in. This should be 0, as Archive::Zip does not
358 handle multi-volume archives.
359 numberOfCentralDirectoriesOnThisDisk()
361 Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last read in.
362 Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a
363 zip in.
364 numberOfCentralDirectories()
366 Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last read in.
367 Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a
368 zip in.
369 centralDirectorySize()
371 Returns central directory size, as read from an external zip file.
372 Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a
373 zip in.
374 centralDirectoryOffsetWRTStartingDiskNumber()
376 Returns the offset into the zip file where the CD begins. Not used
377 for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.
378 zipfileComment( [$string] )
380 Get or set the zipfile comment. Returns the old comment.
381 print $zip->zipfileComment();
383 $zip->zipfileComment( 'New Comment' );
384 eocdOffset()
386 Returns the (unexpected) number of bytes between where the EOCD was
387 found and where it expected to be. This is normally 0, but would be
388 positive if something (a virus, perhaps) had added bytes somewhere
389 before the EOCD. Not used for writing zips, but might be
390 interesting if you read a zip in. Here is an example of how you can
391 diagnose this:
392 my $zip = Archive::Zip->new('somefile.zip');
394 if ($zip->eocdOffset())
395 {
396 warn "A virus has added ", $zip->eocdOffset, " bytes of garbage\n";
397 }
398 The "eocdOffset()" is used to adjust the starting position of
400 member headers, if necessary.
401 fileName()
403 Returns the name of the file last read from. If nothing has been
404 read yet, returns an empty string; if read from a file handle,
405 returns the handle in string form.
406 Zip Archive Member Operations
408 Various operations on a zip file modify members. When a member is
409 passed as an argument, you can either use a reference to the member
410 itself, or the name of a member. Of course, using the name requires
411 that names be unique within a zip (this is not enforced).
412 removeMember( $memberOrName )
414 Remove and return the given member, or match its name and remove
415 it. Returns undef if member or name doesn't exist in this Zip. No-
416 op if member does not belong to this zip.
417 replaceMember( $memberOrName, $newMember )
419 Remove and return the given member, or match its name and remove
420 it. Replace with new member. Returns undef if member or name
421 doesn't exist in this Zip, or if $newMember is undefined.
422 It is an (undiagnosed) error to provide a $newMember that is a
424 member of the zip being modified.
425 my $member1 = $zip->removeMember( 'xyz' );
427 my $member2 = $zip->replaceMember( 'abc', $member1 );
428 # now, $member2 (named 'abc') is not in $zip,
429 # and $member1 (named 'xyz') is, having taken $member2's place.
430 extractMember( $memberOrName [, $extractedName ] )
432 Extract the given member, or match its name and extract it.
433 Returns undef if member doesn't exist in this Zip. If optional
434 second arg is given, use it as the name of the extracted member.
435 Otherwise, the internal filename of the member is used as the name
436 of the extracted file or directory. If you pass $extractedName, it
437 should be in the local file system's format. All necessary
438 directories will be created. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.
439 extractMemberWithoutPaths( $memberOrName [, $extractedName ] )
441 Extract the given member, or match its name and extract it. Does
442 not use path information (extracts into the current directory).
443 Returns undef if member doesn't exist in this Zip. If optional
444 second arg is given, use it as the name of the extracted member
445 (its paths will be deleted too). Otherwise, the internal filename
446 of the member (minus paths) is used as the name of the extracted
447 file or directory. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.
448 addMember( $member )
450 Append a member (possibly from another zip file) to the zip file.
451 Returns the new member. Generally, you will use addFile(),
452 addDirectory(), addFileOrDirectory(), addString(), or read() to add
453 members.
454 # Move member named 'abc' to end of zip:
456 my $member = $zip->removeMember( 'abc' );
457 $zip->addMember( $member );
458 updateMember( $memberOrName, $fileName )
460 Update a single member from the file or directory named $fileName.
461 Returns the (possibly added or updated) member, if any; "undef" on
462 errors. The comparison is based on "lastModTime()" and (in the
463 case of a non-directory) the size of the file.
464 addFile( $fileName [, $newName ] )
466 Append a member whose data comes from an external file, returning
467 the member or undef. The member will have its file name set to the
468 name of the external file, and its desiredCompressionMethod set to
469 COMPRESSION_DEFLATED. The file attributes and last modification
470 time will be set from the file. If the name given does not
471 represent a readable plain file or symbolic link, undef will be
472 returned. $fileName must be in the format required for the local
473 file system. The optional $newName argument sets the internal file
474 name to something different than the given $fileName. $newName, if
475 given, must be in Zip name format (i.e. Unix). The text mode bit
476 will be set if the contents appears to be text (as returned by the
477 "-T" perl operator).
478 NOTE that you shouldn't (generally) use absolute path names in zip
480 member names, as this will cause problems with some zip tools as
481 well as introduce a security hole and make the zip harder to use.
482 addDirectory( $directoryName [, $fileName ] )
484 Append a member created from the given directory name. The
485 directory name does not have to name an existing directory. If the
486 named directory exists, the file modification time and permissions
487 are set from the existing directory, otherwise they are set to now
488 and permissive default permissions. $directoryName must be in
489 local file system format. The optional second argument sets the
490 name of the archive member (which defaults to $directoryName). If
491 given, it must be in Zip (Unix) format. Returns the new member.
492 addFileOrDirectory( $name [, $newName ] )
494 Append a member from the file or directory named $name. If $newName
495 is given, use it for the name of the new member. Will add or
496 remove trailing slashes from $newName as needed. $name must be in
497 local file system format. The optional second argument sets the
498 name of the archive member (which defaults to $name). If given, it
499 must be in Zip (Unix) format.
500 addString( $stringOrStringRef, $name )
502 Append a member created from the given string or string reference.
503 The name is given by the second argument. Returns the new member.
504 The last modification time will be set to now, and the file
505 attributes will be set to permissive defaults.
506 my $member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'test.txt' );
508 contents( $memberOrMemberName [, $newContents ] )
510 Returns the uncompressed data for a particular member, or undef.
511 print "xyz.txt contains " . $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt' );
513 Also can change the contents of a member:
515 $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt', 'This is the new contents' );
517 If called expecting an array as the return value, it will include
519 the status as the second value in the array.
520 ($content, $status) = $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt');
522 Zip Archive I/O operations
524 A Zip archive can be written to a file or file handle, or read from
525 one.
526 writeToFileNamed( $fileName )
528 Write a zip archive to named file. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.
529 my $status = $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'xx.zip' );
531 die "error somewhere" if $status != AZ_OK;
532 Note that if you use the same name as an existing zip file that you
534 read in, you will clobber ZipFileMembers. So instead, write to a
535 different file name, then delete the original. If you use the
536 "overwrite()" or "overwriteAs()" methods, you can re-write the
537 original zip in this way. $fileName should be a valid file name on
538 your system.
539 writeToFileHandle( $fileHandle [, $seekable] )
541 Write a zip archive to a file handle. Return AZ_OK on success. The
542 optional second arg tells whether or not to try to seek backwards
543 to re-write headers. If not provided, it is set if the Perl "-f"
544 test returns true. This could fail on some operating systems,
545 though.
546 my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
548 unless ( $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh ) == AZ_OK ) {
549 # error handling
550 }
551 If you pass a file handle that is not seekable (like if you're
553 writing to a pipe or a socket), pass a false second argument:
554 my $fh = IO::File->new( '| cat > somefile.zip', 'w' );
556 $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh, 0 ); # fh is not seekable
557 If this method fails during the write of a member, that member and
559 all following it will return false from "wasWritten()". See
560 writeCentralDirectory() for a way to deal with this. If you want,
561 you can write data to the file handle before passing it to
562 writeToFileHandle(); this could be used (for instance) for making
563 self-extracting archives. However, this only works reliably when
564 writing to a real file (as opposed to STDOUT or some other possible
565 non-file).
566 See examples/selfex.pl for how to write a self-extracting archive.
568 writeCentralDirectory( $fileHandle [, $offset ] )
570 Writes the central directory structure to the given file handle.
571 Returns AZ_OK on success. If given an $offset, will seek to that
573 point before writing. This can be used for recovery in cases where
574 writeToFileHandle or writeToFileNamed returns an IO error because
575 of running out of space on the destination file.
576 You can truncate the zip by seeking backwards and then writing the
578 directory:
579 my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
581 my $retval = $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh );
582 if ( $retval == AZ_IO_ERROR ) {
583 my @unwritten = grep { not $_->wasWritten() } $zip->members();
584 if (@unwritten) {
585 $zip->removeMember( $member ) foreach my $member ( @unwritten );
586 $zip->writeCentralDirectory( $fh,
587 $unwritten[0]->writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset());
588 }
589 }
590 overwriteAs( $newName )
592 Write the zip to the specified file, as safely as possible. This
593 is done by first writing to a temp file, then renaming the original
594 if it exists, then renaming the temp file, then deleting the
595 renamed original if it exists. Returns AZ_OK if successful.
596 overwrite()
598 Write back to the original zip file. See overwriteAs() above. If
599 the zip was not ever read from a file, this generates an error.
600 read( $fileName )
602 Read zipfile headers from a zip file, appending new members.
603 Returns "AZ_OK" or error code.
604 my $zipFile = Archive::Zip->new();
606 my $status = $zipFile->read( '/some/FileName.zip' );
607 readFromFileHandle( $fileHandle, $filename )
609 Read zipfile headers from an already-opened file handle, appending
610 new members. Does not close the file handle. Returns "AZ_OK" or
611 error code. Note that this requires a seekable file handle; reading
612 from a stream is not yet supported.
613 my $fh = IO::File->new( '/some/FileName.zip', 'r' );
615 my $zip1 = Archive::Zip->new();
616 my $status = $zip1->readFromFileHandle( $fh );
617 my $zip2 = Archive::Zip->new();
618 $status = $zip2->readFromFileHandle( $fh );
619 Zip Archive Tree operations
621 These used to be in Archive::Zip::Tree but got moved into Archive::Zip.
622 They enable operation on an entire tree of members or files. A usage
623 example:
624 use Archive::Zip;
626 my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
627 # add all readable files and directories below . as xyz/*
629 $zip->addTree( '.', 'xyz' );
630 # add all readable plain files below /abc as def/*
632 $zip->addTree( '/abc', 'def', sub { -f && -r } );
633 # add all .c files below /tmp as stuff/*
635 $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.c$' );
636 # add all .o files below /tmp as stuff/* if they aren't writable
638 $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { ! -w } );
639 # add all .so files below /tmp that are smaller than 200 bytes as stuff/*
641 $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { -s < 200 } );
642 # and write them into a file
644 $zip->writeToFileNamed('xxx.zip');
645 # now extract the same files into /tmpx
647 $zip->extractTree( 'stuff', '/tmpx' );
648 $zip->addTree( $root, $dest [,$pred] ) -- Add tree of files to a zip
650 $root is the root of the tree of files and directories to be added.
651 It is a valid directory name on your system. $dest is the name for
652 the root in the zip file (undef or blank means to use relative
653 pathnames). It is a valid ZIP directory name (that is, it uses
654 forward slashes (/) for separating directory components). $pred is
655 an optional subroutine reference to select files: it is passed the
656 name of the prospective file or directory using $_, and if it
657 returns true, the file or directory will be included. The default
658 is to add all readable files and directories. For instance, using
659 my $pred = sub { /\.txt/ };
661 $zip->addTree( '.', '', $pred );
662 will add all the .txt files in and below the current directory,
664 using relative names, and making the names identical in the
665 zipfile:
666 original name zip member name
668 ./xyz xyz
669 ./a/ a/
670 ./a/b a/b
671 To translate absolute to relative pathnames, just pass them in:
673 $zip->addTree( '/c/d', 'a' );
674 original name zip member name
676 /c/d/xyz a/xyz
677 /c/d/a/ a/a/
678 /c/d/a/b a/a/b
679 Returns AZ_OK on success. Note that this will not follow symbolic
681 links to directories. Note also that this does not check for the
682 validity of filenames.
683 Note that you generally don't want to make zip archive member names
685 absolute.
686 $zip->addTreeMatching( $root, $dest, $pattern [,$pred] )
688 $root is the root of the tree of files and directories to be added
689 $dest is the name for the root in the zip file (undef means to use
690 relative pathnames) $pattern is a (non-anchored) regular expression
691 for filenames to match $pred is an optional subroutine reference to
692 select files: it is passed the name of the prospective file or
693 directory in $_, and if it returns true, the file or directory will
694 be included. The default is to add all readable files and
695 directories. To add all files in and below the current dirctory
696 whose names end in ".pl", and make them extract into a subdirectory
697 named "xyz", do this:
698 $zip->addTreeMatching( '.', 'xyz', '\.pl$' )
700 To add all writable files in and below the dirctory named "/abc"
702 whose names end in ".pl", and make them extract into a subdirectory
703 named "xyz", do this:
704 $zip->addTreeMatching( '/abc', 'xyz', '\.pl$', sub { -w } )
706 Returns AZ_OK on success. Note that this will not follow symbolic
708 links to directories.
709 $zip->updateTree( $root, [ $dest, [ $pred [, $mirror]]] );
711 Update a zip file from a directory tree.
712 "updateTree()" takes the same arguments as "addTree()", but first
714 checks to see whether the file or directory already exists in the
715 zip file, and whether it has been changed.
716 If the fourth argument $mirror is true, then delete all my members
718 if corresponding files weren't found.
719 Returns an error code or AZ_OK if all is well.
721 $zip->extractTree()
723 $zip->extractTree( $root )
724 $zip->extractTree( $root, $dest )
725 $zip->extractTree( $root, $dest, $volume )
726 If you don't give any arguments at all, will extract all the files
727 in the zip with their original names.
728 If you supply one argument for $root, "extractTree" will extract
730 all the members whose names start with $root into the current
731 directory, stripping off $root first. $root is in Zip (Unix)
732 format. For instance,
733 $zip->extractTree( 'a' );
735 when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e
737 will extract:
738 a/x as ./x
740 a/b/c as ./b/c
742 If you give two arguments, "extractTree" extracts all the members
744 whose names start with $root. It will translate $root into $dest to
745 construct the destination file name. $root and $dest are in Zip
746 (Unix) format. For instance,
747 $zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e' );
749 when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e
751 will extract:
752 a/x to d/e/x
754 a/b/c to d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e
756 If you give three arguments, "extractTree" extracts all the members
758 whose names start with $root. It will translate $root into $dest to
759 construct the destination file name, and then it will convert to
760 local file system format, using $volume as the name of the
761 destination volume.
762 $root and $dest are in Zip (Unix) format.
764 $volume is in local file system format.
766 For instance, under Windows,
768 $zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e', 'f:' );
770 when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e
772 will extract:
773 a/x to f:d/e/x
775 a/b/c to f:d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e
777 If you want absolute paths (the prior example used paths relative
779 to the current directory on the destination volume, you can specify
780 these in $dest:
781 $zip->extractTree( 'a', '/d/e', 'f:' );
783 when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e
785 will extract:
786 a/x to f:\d\e\x
788 a/b/c to f:\d\e\b\c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e
790 Returns an error code or AZ_OK if everything worked OK.
792
794 Member Class Methods
795 Several constructors allow you to construct members without adding them
796 to a zip archive. These work the same as the addFile(), addDirectory(),
797 and addString() zip instance methods described above, but they don't
798 add the new members to a zip.
799 Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( $stringOrStringRef [, $fileName] )
801 Construct a new member from the given string. Returns undef on
802 error.
803 my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( 'This is a test',
805 'xyz.txt' );
806 newFromFile( $fileName )
808 Construct a new member from the given file. Returns undef on error.
809 my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromFile( 'xyz.txt' );
811 newDirectoryNamed( $directoryName [, $zipname ] )
813 Construct a new member from the given directory. $directoryName
814 must be a valid name on your file system; it doesn't have to exist.
815 If given, $zipname will be the name of the zip member; it must be a
817 valid Zip (Unix) name. If not given, it will be converted from
818 $directoryName.
819 Returns undef on error.
821 my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newDirectoryNamed( 'CVS/' );
823 Member Simple accessors
825 These methods get (and/or set) member attribute values.
826 versionMadeBy()
828 Gets the field from the member header.
829 fileAttributeFormat( [$format] )
831 Gets or sets the field from the member header. These are "FA_*"
832 values.
833 versionNeededToExtract()
835 Gets the field from the member header.
836 bitFlag()
838 Gets the general purpose bit field from the member header. This is
839 where the "GPBF_*" bits live.
840 compressionMethod()
842 Returns the member compression method. This is the method that is
843 currently being used to compress the member data. This will be
844 COMPRESSION_STORED for added string or file members, or any of the
845 "COMPRESSION_*" values for members from a zip file. However, this
846 module can only handle members whose data is in COMPRESSION_STORED
847 or COMPRESSION_DEFLATED format.
848 desiredCompressionMethod( [$method] )
850 Get or set the member's "desiredCompressionMethod". This is the
851 compression method that will be used when the member is written.
852 Returns prior desiredCompressionMethod. Only COMPRESSION_DEFLATED
853 or COMPRESSION_STORED are valid arguments. Changing to
854 COMPRESSION_STORED will change the member desiredCompressionLevel
855 to 0; changing to COMPRESSION_DEFLATED will change the member
856 desiredCompressionLevel to COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT.
857 desiredCompressionLevel( [$method] )
859 Get or set the member's desiredCompressionLevel This is the method
860 that will be used to write. Returns prior desiredCompressionLevel.
861 Valid arguments are 0 through 9, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE,
862 COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION, and
863 COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST. 0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE will change
864 the desiredCompressionMethod to COMPRESSION_STORED. All other
865 arguments will change the desiredCompressionMethod to
866 COMPRESSION_DEFLATED.
867 externalFileName()
869 Return the member's external file name, if any, or undef.
870 fileName()
872 Get or set the member's internal filename. Returns the (possibly
873 new) filename. Names will have backslashes converted to forward
874 slashes, and will have multiple consecutive slashes converted to
875 single ones.
876 lastModFileDateTime()
878 Return the member's last modification date/time stamp in MS-DOS
879 format.
880 lastModTime()
882 Return the member's last modification date/time stamp, converted to
883 unix localtime format.
884 print "Mod Time: " . scalar( localtime( $member->lastModTime() ) );
886 setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix()
888 Set the member's lastModFileDateTime from the given unix time.
889 $member->setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix( time() );
891 internalFileAttributes()
893 Return the internal file attributes field from the zip header. This
894 is only set for members read from a zip file.
895 externalFileAttributes()
897 Return member attributes as read from the ZIP file. Note that these
898 are NOT UNIX!
899 unixFileAttributes( [$newAttributes] )
901 Get or set the member's file attributes using UNIX file attributes.
902 Returns old attributes.
903 my $oldAttribs = $member->unixFileAttributes( 0666 );
905 Note that the return value has more than just the file permissions,
907 so you will have to mask off the lowest bits for comparisions.
908 localExtraField( [$newField] )
910 Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the local header.
911 This is not set for a member from a zip file until after the member
912 has been written out. The extra field must be in the proper format.
913 cdExtraField( [$newField] )
915 Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the central
916 directory header. The extra field must be in the proper format.
917 extraFields()
919 Return both local and CD extra fields, concatenated.
920 fileComment( [$newComment] )
922 Get or set the member's file comment.
923 hasDataDescriptor()
925 Get or set the data descriptor flag. If this is set, the local
926 header will not necessarily have the correct data sizes. Instead, a
927 small structure will be stored at the end of the member data with
928 these values. This should be transparent in normal operation.
929 crc32()
931 Return the CRC-32 value for this member. This will not be set for
932 members that were constructed from strings or external files until
933 after the member has been written.
934 crc32String()
936 Return the CRC-32 value for this member as an 8 character printable
937 hex string. This will not be set for members that were constructed
938 from strings or external files until after the member has been
939 written.
940 compressedSize()
942 Return the compressed size for this member. This will not be set
943 for members that were constructed from strings or external files
944 until after the member has been written.
945 uncompressedSize()
947 Return the uncompressed size for this member.
948 isEncrypted()
950 Return true if this member is encrypted. The Archive::Zip module
951 does not currently create or extract encrypted members.
952 isTextFile( [$flag] )
954 Returns true if I am a text file. Also can set the status if given
955 an argument (then returns old state). Note that this module does
956 not currently do anything with this flag upon extraction or
957 storage. That is, bytes are stored in native format whether or not
958 they came from a text file.
959 isBinaryFile()
961 Returns true if I am a binary file. Also can set the status if
962 given an argument (then returns old state). Note that this module
963 does not currently do anything with this flag upon extraction or
964 storage. That is, bytes are stored in native format whether or not
965 they came from a text file.
966 extractToFileNamed( $fileName )
968 Extract me to a file with the given name. The file will be created
969 with default modes. Directories will be created as needed. The
970 $fileName argument should be a valid file name on your file system.
971 Returns AZ_OK on success.
972 isDirectory()
974 Returns true if I am a directory.
975 writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset()
977 Returns the file offset in bytes the last time I was written.
978 wasWritten()
980 Returns true if I was successfully written. Reset at the beginning
981 of a write attempt.
982 Low-level member data reading
984 It is possible to use lower-level routines to access member data
985 streams, rather than the extract* methods and contents(). For instance,
986 here is how to print the uncompressed contents of a member in chunks
987 using these methods:
988 my ( $member, $status, $bufferRef );
990 $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
991 $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
992 $status = $member->rewindData();
993 die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;
994 while ( ! $member->readIsDone() )
995 {
996 ( $bufferRef, $status ) = $member->readChunk();
997 die "error $status"
998 if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;
999 # do something with $bufferRef:
1000 print $$bufferRef;
1001 }
1002 $member->endRead();
1003 readChunk( [$chunkSize] )
1005 This reads the next chunk of given size from the member's data
1006 stream and compresses or uncompresses it as necessary, returning a
1007 reference to the bytes read and a status. If size argument is not
1008 given, defaults to global set by Archive::Zip::setChunkSize. Status
1009 is AZ_OK on success until the last chunk, where it returns
1010 AZ_STREAM_END. Returns "( \$bytes, $status)".
1011 my ( $outRef, $status ) = $self->readChunk();
1013 print $$outRef if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;
1014 rewindData()
1016 Rewind data and set up for reading data streams or writing zip
1017 files. Can take options for "inflateInit()" or "deflateInit()", but
1018 this isn't likely to be necessary. Subclass overrides should call
1019 this method. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.
1020 endRead()
1022 Reset the read variables and free the inflater or deflater. Must
1023 be called to close files, etc. Returns AZ_OK on success.
1024 readIsDone()
1026 Return true if the read has run out of data or errored out.
1027 contents()
1029 Return the entire uncompressed member data or undef in scalar
1030 context. When called in array context, returns "( $string, $status
1031 )"; status will be AZ_OK on success:
1032 my $string = $member->contents();
1034 # or
1035 my ( $string, $status ) = $member->contents();
1036 die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;
1037 Can also be used to set the contents of a member (this may change
1039 the class of the member):
1040 $member->contents( "this is my new contents" );
1042 extractToFileHandle( $fh )
1044 Extract (and uncompress, if necessary) the member's contents to the
1045 given file handle. Return AZ_OK on success.
1046
1048 The Archive::Zip::FileMember class extends Archive::Zip::Member. It is
1049 the base class for both ZipFileMember and NewFileMember classes. This
1050 class adds an "externalFileName" and an "fh" member to keep track of
1051 the external file.
1052 externalFileName()
1054 Return the member's external filename.
1055 fh()
1057 Return the member's read file handle. Automatically opens file if
1058 necessary.
1059
1061 The Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember class represents members that have been
1062 read from external zip files.
1063 diskNumberStart()
1065 Returns the disk number that the member's local header resides in.
1066 Should be 0.
1067 localHeaderRelativeOffset()
1069 Returns the offset into the zip file where the member's local
1070 header is.
1071 dataOffset()
1073 Returns the offset from the beginning of the zip file to the
1074 member's data.
1075
1077 Archive::Zip requires several other modules:
1078 Carp
1080 Compress::Raw::Zlib
1082 Cwd
1084 File::Basename
1086 File::Copy
1088 File::Find
1090 File::Path
1092 File::Spec
1094 IO::File
1096 IO::Seekable
1098 Time::Local
1100
1102 When not to use Archive::Zip
1103 If you are just going to be extracting zips (and/or other archives) you
1104 are recommended to look at using Archive::Extract instead, as it is
1105 much easier to use and factors out archive-specific functionality.
1106 Try to avoid IO::Scalar
1108 One of the most common ways to use Archive::Zip is to generate Zip
1109 files in-memory. Most people have use IO::Scalar for this purpose.
1110 Unfortunately, as of 1.11 this module no longer works with IO::Scalar
1112 as it incorrectly implements seeking.
1113 Anybody using IO::Scalar should consider porting to IO::String, which
1115 is smaller, lighter, and is implemented to be perfectly compatible with
1116 regular seekable filehandles.
1117 Support for IO::Scalar most likely will not be restored in the future,
1119 as IO::Scalar itself cannot change the way it is implemented due to
1120 back-compatibility issues.
1121
1123 * auto-choosing storing vs compression
1124 * extra field hooks (see notes.txt)
1126 * check for dups on addition/renaming?
1128 * Text file extraction (line end translation)
1130 * Reading zip files from non-seekable inputs
1132 (Perhaps by proxying through IO::String?)
1133 * separate unused constants into separate module
1135 * cookbook style docs
1137 * Handle tainted paths correctly
1139 * Work on better compatability with other IO:: modules
