DESCRIPTION
The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create,
manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files.
Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing
zip files.
Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or
strings. Members can be added, removed, extracted,
replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They can also be
renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes
queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or
uncompressed as needed.
Members can be created from members in existing Zip files,
or from existing directories, files, or strings.
This module uses the Compress::Raw::Zlib library to read
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 1
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
and write the compressed streams inside the files.
One can use Archive::Zip::MemberRead to read the zip file
archive members as if they were files.
File Naming
Regardless of what your local file system uses for file
naming, names in a Zip file are in Unix format (forward
slashes (/) separating directory names, etc.).
"Archive::Zip" tries to be consistent with file naming
conventions, and will translate back and forth between
native and Zip file names.
However, it can't guess which format names are in. So two
rules control what kind of file name you must pass various
routines:
Names of files are in local format.
"File::Spec" and "File::Basename" are used for various
file operations. When you're referring to a file on
your system, use its file naming conventions.
Names of archive members are in Unix format.
This applies to every method that refers to an archive
member, or provides a name for new archive members.
The "extract()" methods that can take one or two names
will convert from local to zip names if you call them
with a single name.
Archive::Zip Object Model
Overview
Archive::Zip::Archive objects are what you ordinarily deal
with. These maintain the structure of a zip file, without
necessarily holding data. When a zip is read from a disk
file, the (possibly compressed) data still lives in the
file, not in memory. Archive members hold information
about the individual members, but not (usually) the actual
member data. When the zip is written to a (different)
file, the member data is compressed or copied as needed.
It is possible to make archive members whose data is held
in a string in memory, but this is not done when a zip
file is read. Directory members don't have any data.

ERROR CODES
Many of the methods in Archive::Zip return error codes.
These are implemented as inline subroutines, using the
"use constant" pragma. They can be imported into your
namespace using the ":ERROR_CODES" tag:
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES );
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 3
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
...
unless ( $zip->read( 'myfile.zip' ) == AZ_OK ) {
die "whoops!";
}
AZ_OK (0)
Everything is fine.
AZ_STREAM_END (1)
The read stream (or central directory) ended normally.
AZ_ERROR (2)
There was some generic kind of error.
AZ_FORMAT_ERROR (3)
There is a format error in a ZIP file being read.
AZ_IO_ERROR (4)
There was an IO error.
Compression
Archive::Zip allows each member of a ZIP file to be
compressed (using the Deflate algorithm) or uncompressed.
Other compression algorithms that some versions of ZIP
have been able to produce are not supported. Each member
has two compression methods: the one it's stored as (this
is always COMPRESSION_STORED for string and external file
members), and the one you desire for the member in the zip
file.
These can be different, of course, so you can make a zip
member that is not compressed out of one that is, and vice
versa.
You can inquire about the current compression and set the
desired compression method:
my $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
$member->compressionMethod(); # return current compression
# set to read uncompressed
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
# set to read compressed
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );
There are two different compression methods:
COMPRESSION_STORED
File is stored (no compression)
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 4
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
COMPRESSION_DEFLATED
File is Deflated
Compression Levels
If a member's desiredCompressionMethod is
COMPRESSION_DEFLATED, you can choose different compression
levels. This choice may affect the speed of compression
and decompression, as well as the size of the compressed
member data.
$member->desiredCompressionLevel( 9 );
The levels given can be:
0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE
This is the same as saying
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
1 .. 9
1 gives the best speed and worst compression, and 9
gives the best compression and worst speed.
COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST
This is a synonym for level 1.
COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION
This is a synonym for level 9.
COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT
This gives a good compromise between speed and
compression, and is currently equivalent to 6 (this is
in the zlib code). This is the level that will be
used if not specified.
Archive::Zip Methods
The Archive::Zip class (and its invisible subclass
Archive::Zip::Archive) implement generic zip file
functionality. Creating a new Archive::Zip object actually
makes an Archive::Zip::Archive object, but you don't have
to worry about this unless you're subclassing.
Constructor
new( [$fileName] )
Make a new, empty zip archive.
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
If an additional argument is passed, new() will call
read() to read the contents of an archive:
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 5
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new( 'xyz.zip' );
If a filename argument is passed and the read fails
for any reason, new will return undef. For this
reason, it may be better to call read separately.
Zip Archive Utility Methods
These Archive::Zip methods may be called as functions or
as object methods. Do not call them as class methods:
$zip = Archive::Zip->new();
$crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' ); # OK
$crc = $zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' ); # also OK
$crc = Archive::Zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' ); # NOT OK
Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string [, $crc] )
This is a utility function that uses the
Compress::Raw::Zlib CRC routine to compute a CRC-32.
You can get the CRC of a string:
$crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string );
Or you can compute the running CRC:
$crc = 0;
$crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'abcdef', $crc );
$crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl', $crc );
Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( $number )
Report or change chunk size used for reading and
writing. This can make big differences in dealing
with large files. Currently, this defaults to 32K.
This also changes the chunk size used for
Compress::Raw::Zlib. You must call setChunkSize()
before reading or writing. This is not exportable, so
you must call it like:
Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( 4096 );
or as a method on a zip (though this is a global
setting). Returns old chunk size.
Archive::Zip::chunkSize()
Returns the current chunk size:
my $chunkSize = Archive::Zip::chunkSize();
Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&subroutine )
Change the subroutine called with error strings. This
defaults to \&Carp::carp, but you may want to change
it to get the error strings. This is not exportable,
so you must call it like:
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 6
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&myErrorHandler );
If myErrorHandler is undef, resets handler to default.
Returns old error handler. Note that if you call
Carp::carp or a similar routine or if you're chaining
to the default error handler from your error handler,
you may want to increment the number of caller levels
that are skipped (do not just set it to a number):
$Carp::CarpLevel++;
Archive::Zip::tempFile( [$tmpdir] )
Create a uniquely named temp file. It will be returned
open for read/write. If $tmpdir is given, it is used
as the name of a directory to create the file in. If
not given, creates the file using
"File::Spec::tmpdir()". Generally, you can override
this choice using the
$ENV{TMPDIR}
environment variable. But see the File::Spec
documentation for your system. Note that on many
systems, if you're running in taint mode, then you
must make sure that $ENV{TMPDIR} is untainted for it
to be used. Will NOT create $tmpdir if it doesn't
exist (this is a change from prior versions!). Returns
file handle and name:
my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile();
my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile('myTempDir');
my $fh = Archive::Zip::tempFile(); # if you don't need the name
Zip Archive Accessors
members()
Return a copy of the members array
my @members = $zip->members();
numberOfMembers()
Return the number of members I have
memberNames()
Return a list of the (internal) file names of the zip
members
memberNamed( $string )
Return ref to member whose filename equals given
filename or undef. $string must be in Zip (Unix)
filename format.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 7
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
membersMatching( $regex )
Return array of members whose filenames match given
regular expression in list context. Returns number of
matching members in scalar context.
my @textFileMembers = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );
# or
my $numberOfTextFiles = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );
diskNumber()
Return the disk that I start on. Not used for writing
zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.
This should be 0, as Archive::Zip does not handle
multi-volume archives.
diskNumberWithStartOfCentralDirectory()
Return the disk number that holds the beginning of the
central directory. Not used for writing zips, but
might be interesting if you read a zip in. This should
be 0, as Archive::Zip does not handle multi-volume
archives.
numberOfCentralDirectoriesOnThisDisk()
Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last
read in. Not used for writing zips, but might be
interesting if you read a zip in.
numberOfCentralDirectories()
Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last
read in. Not used for writing zips, but might be
interesting if you read a zip in.
centralDirectorySize()
Returns central directory size, as read from an
external zip file. Not used for writing zips, but
might be interesting if you read a zip in.
centralDirectoryOffsetWRTStartingDiskNumber()
Returns the offset into the zip file where the CD
begins. Not used for writing zips, but might be
interesting if you read a zip in.
zipfileComment( [$string] )
Get or set the zipfile comment. Returns the old
comment.
print $zip->zipfileComment();
$zip->zipfileComment( 'New Comment' );
eocdOffset()
Returns the (unexpected) number of bytes between where
the EOCD was found and where it expected to be. This
is normally 0, but would be positive if something (a
virus, perhaps) had added bytes somewhere before the
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 8
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
EOCD. Not used for writing zips, but might be
interesting if you read a zip in. Here is an example
of how you can diagnose this:
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new('somefile.zip');
if ($zip->eocdOffset())
{
warn "A virus has added ", $zip->eocdOffset, " bytes of garbage\n";
}
The "eocdOffset()" is used to adjust the starting
position of member headers, if necessary.
fileName()
Returns the name of the file last read from. If
nothing has been read yet, returns an empty string; if
read from a file handle, returns the handle in string
form.
Zip Archive Member Operations
Various operations on a zip file modify members. When a
member is passed as an argument, you can either use a
reference to the member itself, or the name of a member.
Of course, using the name requires that names be unique
within a zip (this is not enforced).
removeMember( $memberOrName )
Remove and return the given member, or match its name
and remove it. Returns undef if member or name doesn't
exist in this Zip. No-op if member does not belong to
this zip.
replaceMember( $memberOrName, $newMember )
Remove and return the given member, or match its name
and remove it. Replace with new member. Returns undef
if member or name doesn't exist in this Zip, or if
$newMember is undefined.
It is an (undiagnosed) error to provide a $newMember
that is a member of the zip being modified.
my $member1 = $zip->removeMember( 'xyz' );
my $member2 = $zip->replaceMember( 'abc', $member1 );
# now, $member2 (named 'abc') is not in $zip,
# and $member1 (named 'xyz') is, having taken $member2's place.
extractMember( $memberOrName [, $extractedName ] )
Extract the given member, or match its name and
extract it. Returns undef if member doesn't exist in
this Zip. If optional second arg is given, use it as
the name of the extracted member. Otherwise, the
internal filename of the member is used as the name of
the extracted file or directory. If you pass
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 9
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
$extractedName, it should be in the local file
system's format. All necessary directories will be
created. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.
extractMemberWithoutPaths( $memberOrName [, $extractedName
] )
Extract the given member, or match its name and
extract it. Does not use path information (extracts
into the current directory). Returns undef if member
doesn't exist in this Zip. If optional second arg is
given, use it as the name of the extracted member (its
paths will be deleted too). Otherwise, the internal
filename of the member (minus paths) is used as the
name of the extracted file or directory. Returns
"AZ_OK" on success.
addMember( $member )
Append a member (possibly from another zip file) to
the zip file. Returns the new member. Generally, you
will use addFile(), addDirectory(),
addFileOrDirectory(), addString(), or read() to add
members.
# Move member named 'abc' to end of zip:
my $member = $zip->removeMember( 'abc' );
$zip->addMember( $member );
updateMember( $memberOrName, $fileName )
Update a single member from the file or directory
named $fileName. Returns the (possibly added or
updated) member, if any; "undef" on errors. The
comparison is based on "lastModTime()" and (in the
case of a non-directory) the size of the file.
addFile( $fileName [, $newName ] )
Append a member whose data comes from an external
file, returning the member or undef. The member will
have its file name set to the name of the external
file, and its desiredCompressionMethod set to
COMPRESSION_DEFLATED. The file attributes and last
modification time will be set from the file. If the
name given does not represent a readable plain file or
symbolic link, undef will be returned. $fileName must
be in the format required for the local file system.
The optional $newName argument sets the internal file
name to something different than the given $fileName.
$newName, if given, must be in Zip name format (i.e.
Unix). The text mode bit will be set if the contents
appears to be text (as returned by the "-T" perl
operator).
NOTE that you shouldn't (generally) use absolute path
names in zip member names, as this will cause problems
with some zip tools as well as introduce a security
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 10
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
hole and make the zip harder to use.
addDirectory( $directoryName [, $fileName ] )
Append a member created from the given directory name.
The directory name does not have to name an existing
directory. If the named directory exists, the file
modification time and permissions are set from the
existing directory, otherwise they are set to now and
permissive default permissions. $directoryName must
be in local file system format. The optional second
argument sets the name of the archive member (which
defaults to $directoryName). If given, it must be in
Zip (Unix) format. Returns the new member.
addFileOrDirectory( $name [, $newName ] )
Append a member from the file or directory named
$name. If $newName is given, use it for the name of
the new member. Will add or remove trailing slashes
from $newName as needed. $name must be in local file
system format. The optional second argument sets the
name of the archive member (which defaults to $name).
If given, it must be in Zip (Unix) format.
addString( $stringOrStringRef, $name )
Append a member created from the given string or
string reference. The name is given by the second
argument. Returns the new member. The last
modification time will be set to now, and the file
attributes will be set to permissive defaults.
my $member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'test.txt' );
contents( $memberOrMemberName [, $newContents ] )
Returns the uncompressed data for a particular member,
or undef.
print "xyz.txt contains " . $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt' );
Also can change the contents of a member:
$zip->contents( 'xyz.txt', 'This is the new contents' );
If called expecting an array as the return value, it
will include the status as the second value in the
array.
($content, $status) = $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt');
Zip Archive I/O operations
A Zip archive can be written to a file or file handle, or
read from one.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 11
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
writeToFileNamed( $fileName )
Write a zip archive to named file. Returns "AZ_OK" on
success.
my $status = $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'xx.zip' );
die "error somewhere" if $status != AZ_OK;
Note that if you use the same name as an existing zip
file that you read in, you will clobber
ZipFileMembers. So instead, write to a different file
name, then delete the original. If you use the
"overwrite()" or "overwriteAs()" methods, you can re-
write the original zip in this way. $fileName should
be a valid file name on your system.
writeToFileHandle( $fileHandle [, $seekable] )
Write a zip archive to a file handle. Return AZ_OK on
success. The optional second arg tells whether or not
to try to seek backwards to re-write headers. If not
provided, it is set if the Perl "-f" test returns
true. This could fail on some operating systems,
though.
my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
unless ( $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh ) == AZ_OK ) {
# error handling
}
If you pass a file handle that is not seekable (like
if you're writing to a pipe or a socket), pass a false
second argument:
my $fh = IO::File->new( '| cat > somefile.zip', 'w' );
$zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh, 0 ); # fh is not seekable
If this method fails during the write of a member,
that member and all following it will return false
from "wasWritten()". See writeCentralDirectory() for a
way to deal with this. If you want, you can write
data to the file handle before passing it to
writeToFileHandle(); this could be used (for instance)
for making self-extracting archives. However, this
only works reliably when writing to a real file (as
opposed to STDOUT or some other possible non-file).
See examples/selfex.pl for how to write a self-
extracting archive.
writeCentralDirectory( $fileHandle [, $offset ] )
Writes the central directory structure to the given
file handle.
Returns AZ_OK on success. If given an $offset, will
seek to that point before writing. This can be used
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 12
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
for recovery in cases where writeToFileHandle or
writeToFileNamed returns an IO error because of
running out of space on the destination file.
You can truncate the zip by seeking backwards and then
writing the directory:
my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
my $retval = $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh );
if ( $retval == AZ_IO_ERROR ) {
my @unwritten = grep { not $_->wasWritten() } $zip->members();
if (@unwritten) {
$zip->removeMember( $member ) foreach my $member ( @unwritten );
$zip->writeCentralDirectory( $fh,
$unwritten[0]->writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset());
}
}
overwriteAs( $newName )
Write the zip to the specified file, as safely as
possible. This is done by first writing to a temp
file, then renaming the original if it exists, then
renaming the temp file, then deleting the renamed
original if it exists. Returns AZ_OK if successful.
overwrite()
Write back to the original zip file. See overwriteAs()
above. If the zip was not ever read from a file, this
generates an error.
read( $fileName )
Read zipfile headers from a zip file, appending new
members. Returns "AZ_OK" or error code.
my $zipFile = Archive::Zip->new();
my $status = $zipFile->read( '/some/FileName.zip' );
readFromFileHandle( $fileHandle, $filename )
Read zipfile headers from an already-opened file
handle, appending new members. Does not close the file
handle. Returns "AZ_OK" or error code. Note that this
requires a seekable file handle; reading from a stream
is not yet supported.
my $fh = IO::File->new( '/some/FileName.zip', 'r' );
my $zip1 = Archive::Zip->new();
my $status = $zip1->readFromFileHandle( $fh );
my $zip2 = Archive::Zip->new();
$status = $zip2->readFromFileHandle( $fh );
Zip Archive Tree operations
These used to be in Archive::Zip::Tree but got moved into
Archive::Zip. They enable operation on an entire tree of
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 13
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
members or files. A usage example:
use Archive::Zip;
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
# add all readable files and directories below . as xyz/*
$zip->addTree( '.', 'xyz' );
# add all readable plain files below /abc as def/*
$zip->addTree( '/abc', 'def', sub { -f && -r } );
# add all .c files below /tmp as stuff/*
$zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.c$' );
# add all .o files below /tmp as stuff/* if they aren't writable
$zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { ! -w } );
# add all .so files below /tmp that are smaller than 200 bytes as stuff/*
$zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { -s < 200 } );
# and write them into a file
$zip->writeToFileNamed('xxx.zip');
# now extract the same files into /tmpx
$zip->extractTree( 'stuff', '/tmpx' );
$zip->addTree( $root, $dest [,$pred] ) -- Add tree of
files to a zip
$root is the root of the tree of files and directories
to be added. It is a valid directory name on your
system. $dest is the name for the root in the zip file
(undef or blank means to use relative pathnames). It
is a valid ZIP directory name (that is, it uses
forward slashes (/) for separating directory
components). $pred is an optional subroutine reference
to select files: it is passed the name of the
prospective file or directory using $_, and if it
returns true, the file or directory will be included.
The default is to add all readable files and
directories. For instance, using
my $pred = sub { /\.txt/ };
$zip->addTree( '.', '', $pred );
will add all the .txt files in and below the current
directory, using relative names, and making the names
identical in the zipfile:
original name zip member name
./xyz xyz
./a/ a/
./a/b a/b
To translate absolute to relative pathnames, just pass
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 14
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
them in: $zip->addTree( '/c/d', 'a' );
original name zip member name
/c/d/xyz a/xyz
/c/d/a/ a/a/
/c/d/a/b a/a/b
Returns AZ_OK on success. Note that this will not
follow symbolic links to directories. Note also that
this does not check for the validity of filenames.
Note that you generally don't want to make zip archive
member names absolute.
$zip->addTreeMatching( $root, $dest, $pattern [,$pred] )
$root is the root of the tree of files and directories
to be added $dest is the name for the root in the zip
file (undef means to use relative pathnames) $pattern
is a (non-anchored) regular expression for filenames
to match $pred is an optional subroutine reference to
select files: it is passed the name of the prospective
file or directory in $_, and if it returns true, the
file or directory will be included. The default is to
add all readable files and directories. To add all
files in and below the current dirctory whose names
end in ".pl", and make them extract into a
subdirectory named "xyz", do this:
$zip->addTreeMatching( '.', 'xyz', '\.pl$' )
To add all writable files in and below the dirctory
named "/abc" whose names end in ".pl", and make them
extract into a subdirectory named "xyz", do this:
$zip->addTreeMatching( '/abc', 'xyz', '\.pl$', sub { -w } )
Returns AZ_OK on success. Note that this will not
follow symbolic links to directories.
$zip->updateTree( $root, [ $dest, [ $pred [, $mirror]]] );
Update a zip file from a directory tree.
"updateTree()" takes the same arguments as
"addTree()", but first checks to see whether the file
or directory already exists in the zip file, and
whether it has been changed.
If the fourth argument $mirror is true, then delete
all my members if corresponding files weren't found.
Returns an error code or AZ_OK if all is well.
$zip->extractTree()
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 15
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
$zip->extractTree( $root )
$zip->extractTree( $root, $dest )
$zip->extractTree( $root, $dest, $volume )
If you don't give any arguments at all, will extract
all the files in the zip with their original names.
If you supply one argument for $root, "extractTree"
will extract all the members whose names start with
$root into the current directory, stripping off $root
first. $root is in Zip (Unix) format. For instance,
$zip->extractTree( 'a' );
when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c
ax/d/e d/e will extract:
a/x as ./x
a/b/c as ./b/c
If you give two arguments, "extractTree" extracts all
the members whose names start with $root. It will
translate $root into $dest to construct the
destination file name. $root and $dest are in Zip
(Unix) format. For instance,
$zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e' );
when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c
ax/d/e d/e will extract:
a/x to d/e/x
a/b/c to d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e
If you give three arguments, "extractTree" extracts
all the members whose names start with $root. It will
translate $root into $dest to construct the
destination file name, and then it will convert to
local file system format, using $volume as the name of
the destination volume.
$root and $dest are in Zip (Unix) format.
$volume is in local file system format.
For instance, under Windows,
$zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e', 'f:' );
when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c
ax/d/e d/e will extract:
a/x to f:d/e/x
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 16
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
a/b/c to f:d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e
If you want absolute paths (the prior example used
paths relative to the current directory on the
destination volume, you can specify these in $dest:
$zip->extractTree( 'a', '/d/e', 'f:' );
when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c
ax/d/e d/e will extract:
a/x to f:\d\e\x
a/b/c to f:\d\e\b\c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e
Returns an error code or AZ_OK if everything worked
OK.
MEMBER OPERATIONS
Member Class Methods
Several constructors allow you to construct members
without adding them to a zip archive. These work the same
as the addFile(), addDirectory(), and addString() zip
instance methods described above, but they don't add the
new members to a zip.
Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( $stringOrStringRef [,
$fileName] )
Construct a new member from the given string. Returns
undef on error.
my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( 'This is a test',
'xyz.txt' );
newFromFile( $fileName )
Construct a new member from the given file. Returns
undef on error.
my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromFile( 'xyz.txt' );
newDirectoryNamed( $directoryName [, $zipname ] )
Construct a new member from the given directory.
$directoryName must be a valid name on your file
system; it doesn't have to exist.
If given, $zipname will be the name of the zip member;
it must be a valid Zip (Unix) name. If not given, it
will be converted from $directoryName.
Returns undef on error.
my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newDirectoryNamed( 'CVS/' );
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 17
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
Member Simple accessors
These methods get (and/or set) member attribute values.
versionMadeBy()
Gets the field from the member header.
fileAttributeFormat( [$format] )
Gets or sets the field from the member header. These
are "FA_*" values.
versionNeededToExtract()
Gets the field from the member header.
bitFlag()
Gets the general purpose bit field from the member
header. This is where the "GPBF_*" bits live.
compressionMethod()
Returns the member compression method. This is the
method that is currently being used to compress the
member data. This will be COMPRESSION_STORED for
added string or file members, or any of the
"COMPRESSION_*" values for members from a zip file.
However, this module can only handle members whose
data is in COMPRESSION_STORED or COMPRESSION_DEFLATED
format.
desiredCompressionMethod( [$method] )
Get or set the member's "desiredCompressionMethod".
This is the compression method that will be used when
the member is written. Returns prior
desiredCompressionMethod. Only COMPRESSION_DEFLATED or
COMPRESSION_STORED are valid arguments. Changing to
COMPRESSION_STORED will change the member
desiredCompressionLevel to 0; changing to
COMPRESSION_DEFLATED will change the member
desiredCompressionLevel to COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT.
desiredCompressionLevel( [$method] )
Get or set the member's desiredCompressionLevel This
is the method that will be used to write. Returns
prior desiredCompressionLevel. Valid arguments are 0
through 9, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE,
COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT,
COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION, and
COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST. 0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE
will change the desiredCompressionMethod to
COMPRESSION_STORED. All other arguments will change
the desiredCompressionMethod to COMPRESSION_DEFLATED.
externalFileName()
Return the member's external file name, if any, or
undef.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 18
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
fileName()
Get or set the member's internal filename. Returns the
(possibly new) filename. Names will have backslashes
converted to forward slashes, and will have multiple
consecutive slashes converted to single ones.
lastModFileDateTime()
Return the member's last modification date/time stamp
in MS-DOS format.
lastModTime()
Return the member's last modification date/time stamp,
converted to unix localtime format.
print "Mod Time: " . scalar( localtime( $member->lastModTime() ) );
setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix()
Set the member's lastModFileDateTime from the given
unix time.
$member->setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix( time() );
internalFileAttributes()
Return the internal file attributes field from the zip
header. This is only set for members read from a zip
file.
externalFileAttributes()
Return member attributes as read from the ZIP file.
Note that these are NOT UNIX!
unixFileAttributes( [$newAttributes] )
Get or set the member's file attributes using UNIX
file attributes. Returns old attributes.
my $oldAttribs = $member->unixFileAttributes( 0666 );
Note that the return value has more than just the file
permissions, so you will have to mask off the lowest
bits for comparisions.
localExtraField( [$newField] )
Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the
local header. This is not set for a member from a zip
file until after the member has been written out. The
extra field must be in the proper format.
cdExtraField( [$newField] )
Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the
central directory header. The extra field must be in
the proper format.
extraFields()
Return both local and CD extra fields, concatenated.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 19
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
fileComment( [$newComment] )
Get or set the member's file comment.
hasDataDescriptor()
Get or set the data descriptor flag. If this is set,
the local header will not necessarily have the correct
data sizes. Instead, a small structure will be stored
at the end of the member data with these values. This
should be transparent in normal operation.
crc32()
Return the CRC-32 value for this member. This will not
be set for members that were constructed from strings
or external files until after the member has been
written.
crc32String()
Return the CRC-32 value for this member as an 8
character printable hex string. This will not be set
for members that were constructed from strings or
external files until after the member has been
written.
compressedSize()
Return the compressed size for this member. This will
not be set for members that were constructed from
strings or external files until after the member has
been written.
uncompressedSize()
Return the uncompressed size for this member.
isEncrypted()
Return true if this member is encrypted. The
Archive::Zip module does not currently create or
extract encrypted members.
isTextFile( [$flag] )
Returns true if I am a text file. Also can set the
status if given an argument (then returns old state).
Note that this module does not currently do anything
with this flag upon extraction or storage. That is,
bytes are stored in native format whether or not they
came from a text file.
isBinaryFile()
Returns true if I am a binary file. Also can set the
status if given an argument (then returns old state).
Note that this module does not currently do anything
with this flag upon extraction or storage. That is,
bytes are stored in native format whether or not they
came from a text file.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 20
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
extractToFileNamed( $fileName )
Extract me to a file with the given name. The file
will be created with default modes. Directories will
be created as needed. The $fileName argument should
be a valid file name on your file system. Returns
AZ_OK on success.
isDirectory()
Returns true if I am a directory.
writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset()
Returns the file offset in bytes the last time I was
written.
wasWritten()
Returns true if I was successfully written. Reset at
the beginning of a write attempt.
Low-level member data reading
It is possible to use lower-level routines to access
member data streams, rather than the extract* methods and
contents(). For instance, here is how to print the
uncompressed contents of a member in chunks using these
methods:
my ( $member, $status, $bufferRef );
$member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
$status = $member->rewindData();
die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;
while ( ! $member->readIsDone() )
{
( $bufferRef, $status ) = $member->readChunk();
die "error $status"
if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;
# do something with $bufferRef:
print $$bufferRef;
}
$member->endRead();
readChunk( [$chunkSize] )
This reads the next chunk of given size from the
member's data stream and compresses or uncompresses it
as necessary, returning a reference to the bytes read
and a status. If size argument is not given, defaults
to global set by Archive::Zip::setChunkSize. Status is
AZ_OK on success until the last chunk, where it
returns AZ_STREAM_END. Returns "( \$bytes, $status)".
my ( $outRef, $status ) = $self->readChunk();
print $$outRef if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 21
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
rewindData()
Rewind data and set up for reading data streams or
writing zip files. Can take options for
"inflateInit()" or "deflateInit()", but this isn't
likely to be necessary. Subclass overrides should
call this method. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.
endRead()
Reset the read variables and free the inflater or
deflater. Must be called to close files, etc. Returns
AZ_OK on success.
readIsDone()
Return true if the read has run out of data or errored
out.
contents()
Return the entire uncompressed member data or undef in
scalar context. When called in array context, returns
"( $string, $status )"; status will be AZ_OK on
success:
my $string = $member->contents();
# or
my ( $string, $status ) = $member->contents();
die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;
Can also be used to set the contents of a member (this
may change the class of the member):
$member->contents( "this is my new contents" );
extractToFileHandle( $fh )
Extract (and uncompress, if necessary) the member's
contents to the given file handle. Return AZ_OK on
success.
Archive::Zip::FileMember methods
The Archive::Zip::FileMember class extends
Archive::Zip::Member. It is the base class for both
ZipFileMember and NewFileMember classes. This class adds
an "externalFileName" and an "fh" member to keep track of
the external file.
externalFileName()
Return the member's external filename.
fh()
Return the member's read file handle. Automatically
opens file if necessary.
Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember methods
The Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember class represents members
that have been read from external zip files.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 22
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
diskNumberStart()
Returns the disk number that the member's local header
resides in. Should be 0.
localHeaderRelativeOffset()
Returns the offset into the zip file where the
member's local header is.
dataOffset()
Returns the offset from the beginning of the zip file
to the member's data.
REQUIRED MODULES
Archive::Zip requires several other modules:
Carp
Compress::Raw::Zlib
Cwd
File::Basename
File::Copy
File::Find
File::Path
File::Spec
IO::File
IO::Seekable
Time::Local
BUGS AND CAVEATS
When not to use Archive::Zip
If you are just going to be extracting zips (and/or other
archives) you are recommended to look at using
Archive::Extract instead, as it is much easier to use and
factors out archive-specific functionality.
Try to avoid IO::Scalar
One of the most common ways to use Archive::Zip is to
generate Zip files in-memory. Most people have use
IO::Scalar for this purpose.
Unfortunately, as of 1.11 this module no longer works with
IO::Scalar as it incorrectly implements seeking.
perl v5.10.0 2009-06-30 23
Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)
Anybody using IO::Scalar should consider porting to
IO::String, which is smaller, lighter, and is implemented
to be perfectly compatible with regular seekable
filehandles.
Support for IO::Scalar most likely will not be restored in
the future, as IO::Scalar itself cannot change the way it
is implemented due to back-compatibility issues.
TO DO
* auto-choosing storing vs compression
* extra field hooks (see notes.txt)
* check for dups on addition/renaming?
* Text file extraction (line end translation)
* Reading zip files from non-seekable inputs
(Perhaps by proxying through IO::String?)
* separate unused constants into separate module
* cookbook style docs
* Handle tainted paths correctly
* Work on better compatability with other IO:: modules
