10 @class wxArchiveInputStream
13 This is an abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
14 archive input streams such as wxZipInputStream.
16 wxArchiveInputStream::GetNextEntry returns an wxArchiveEntry object containing
17 the meta-data for the next entry in the archive (and gives away ownership).
19 Reading from the wxArchiveInputStream then returns the entry's data. Eof()
20 becomes @true after an attempt has been made to read past the end of the
23 When there are no more entries, GetNextEntry() returns @NULL and sets Eof().
28 @see @ref overview_archive, wxArchiveEntry, wxArchiveOutputStream
30 class wxArchiveInputStream
: public wxFilterInputStream
34 Closes the current entry. On a non-seekable stream reads to the end of
35 the current entry first.
37 virtual bool CloseEntry() = 0;
40 Closes the current entry if one is open, then reads the meta-data for
41 the next entry and returns it in a wxArchiveEntry object, giving away
42 ownership. Reading this wxArchiveInputStream then returns the entry's data.
44 wxArchiveEntry
* GetNextEntry();
47 Closes the current entry if one is open, then opens the entry specified
48 by the wxArchiveEntry object.
50 @a entry must be from the same archive file that this wxArchiveInputStream
51 is reading, and it must be reading it from a seekable stream.
53 virtual bool OpenEntry(wxArchiveEntry
& entry
) = 0;
59 @class wxArchiveOutputStream
62 This is an abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
63 archive output streams such as wxZipOutputStream.
65 wxArchiveOutputStream::PutNextEntry is used to create a new entry in the
66 output archive, then the entry's data is written to the wxArchiveOutputStream.
67 Another call to PutNextEntry() closes the current entry and begins the next.
72 @see @ref overview_archive, wxArchiveEntry, wxArchiveInputStream
74 class wxArchiveOutputStream
: public wxFilterOutputStream
78 Calls Close() if it has not already been called.
80 virtual ~wxArchiveOutputStream();
83 Closes the archive, returning @true if it was successfully written.
84 Called by the destructor if not called explicitly.
86 @see wxOutputStream::Close()
91 Close the current entry.
92 It is called implicitly whenever another new entry is created with CopyEntry()
93 or PutNextEntry(), or when the archive is closed.
95 virtual bool CloseEntry() = 0;
98 Some archive formats have additional meta-data that applies to the archive
100 For example in the case of zip there is a comment, which is stored at the end
101 of the zip file. CopyArchiveMetaData() can be used to transfer such information
102 when writing a modified copy of an archive.
104 Since the position of the meta-data can vary between the various archive
105 formats, it is best to call CopyArchiveMetaData() before transferring
106 the entries. The wxArchiveOutputStream will then hold on to the meta-data
107 and write it at the correct point in the output file.
109 When the input archive is being read from a non-seekable stream, the
110 meta-data may not be available when CopyArchiveMetaData() is called,
111 in which case the two streams set up a link and transfer the data
112 when it becomes available.
114 virtual bool CopyArchiveMetaData(wxArchiveInputStream
& stream
) = 0;
117 Takes ownership of @a entry and uses it to create a new entry in the
118 archive. @a entry is then opened in the input stream @a stream
119 and its contents copied to this stream.
121 For archive types which compress entry data, CopyEntry() is likely to be
122 much more efficient than transferring the data using Read() and Write()
123 since it will copy them without decompressing and recompressing them.
125 @a entry must be from the same archive file that @a stream is
126 accessing. For non-seekable streams, @a entry must also be the last
127 thing read from @a stream.
129 virtual bool CopyEntry(wxArchiveEntry
* entry
,
130 wxArchiveInputStream
& stream
) = 0;
133 Create a new directory entry (see wxArchiveEntry::IsDir) with the given
136 PutNextEntry() can also be used to create directory entries, by supplying
137 a name with a trailing path separator.
139 virtual bool PutNextDirEntry(const wxString
& name
,
140 const wxDateTime
& dt
= wxDateTime::Now()) = 0;
143 Takes ownership of entry and uses it to create a new entry in the archive.
144 The entry's data can then be written by writing to this wxArchiveOutputStream.
146 virtual bool PutNextEntry(wxArchiveEntry
* entry
) = 0;
149 Create a new entry with the given name, timestamp and size. The entry's
150 data can then be written by writing to this wxArchiveOutputStream.
152 virtual bool PutNextEntry(const wxString
& name
,
153 const wxDateTime
& dt
= wxDateTime::Now(),
154 wxFileOffset size
= wxInvalidOffset
) = 0;
160 @class wxArchiveEntry
163 This is an abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
164 archive entry classes such as wxZipEntry.
165 These hold the meta-data (filename, timestamp, etc.), for entries
166 in archive files such as zips and tars.
168 <b>About non-seekable streams</b>: this information applies only when reading
169 archives from non-seekable streams. When the stream is seekable GetNextEntry()
170 returns a fully populated wxArchiveEntry.
171 See @ref overview_archive_noseek for more information.
173 For generic programming, when the worst case must be assumed, you can rely on
174 all the fields of wxArchiveEntry being fully populated when
175 wxArchiveInputStream::GetNextEntry() returns, with the the following exceptions:
177 @li GetSize(): guaranteed to be available after the entry has been read to Eof(),
178 or CloseEntry() has been called;
179 @li IsReadOnly(): guaranteed to be available after the end of the archive has
180 been reached, i.e. after GetNextEntry() returns NULL and Eof() is true.
185 @see @ref overview_archive, @ref overview_archive_generic,
186 wxArchiveInputStream, wxArchiveOutputStream, wxArchiveNotifier
188 class wxArchiveEntry
: public wxObject
192 Returns a copy of this entry object.
194 wxArchiveEntry
* Clone() const;
197 Gets the entry's timestamp.
199 virtual wxDateTime
GetDateTime() const = 0;
202 Sets the entry's timestamp.
204 virtual void SetDateTime(const wxDateTime
& dt
) = 0;
207 Returns the entry's name, by default in the native format.
208 The name can include directory components, i.e. it can be a full path.
210 If this is a directory entry, (i.e. if IsDir() is @true) then the
211 returned string is the name with a trailing path separator.
213 virtual wxString
GetName(wxPathFormat format
= wxPATH_NATIVE
) const = 0;
216 Sets the entry's name.
217 Setting a name with a trailing path separator sets IsDir().
221 virtual void SetName(const wxString
& name
,
222 wxPathFormat format
= wxPATH_NATIVE
) = 0;
225 Returns the size of the entry's data in bytes.
227 virtual wxFileOffset
GetSize() const = 0;
230 Sets the size of the entry's data in bytes.
232 virtual void SetSize(wxFileOffset size
) = 0;
235 Returns the path format used internally within the archive to store
238 virtual wxPathFormat
GetInternalFormat() const = 0;
241 Returns the entry's filename in the internal format used within the
242 archive. The name can include directory components, i.e. it can be a
245 The names of directory entries are returned without any trailing path
246 separator. This gives a canonical name that can be used in comparisons.
248 @see @ref overview_archive_byname
250 virtual wxString
GetInternalName() const = 0;
253 Returns a numeric value unique to the entry within the archive.
255 virtual wxFileOffset
GetOffset() const = 0;
258 Returns @true if this is a directory entry.
260 Directory entries are entries with no data, which are used to store
261 the meta-data of directories. They also make it possible for completely
262 empty directories to be stored.
265 The names of entries within an archive can be complete paths, and
266 unarchivers typically create whatever directories are necessary as they
267 restore files, even if the archive contains no explicit directory entries.
269 virtual bool IsDir() const = 0;
272 Marks this entry as a directory if @a isDir is @true. See IsDir() for more info.
274 virtual void SetIsDir(bool isDir
= true) = 0;
277 Returns @true if the entry is a read-only file.
279 virtual bool IsReadOnly() const = 0;
282 Sets this entry as a read-only file.
284 virtual void SetIsReadOnly(bool isReadOnly
= true) = 0;
287 Sets the notifier (see wxArchiveNotifier) for this entry.
289 Whenever the wxArchiveInputStream updates this entry, it will then invoke
290 the associated notifier's wxArchiveNotifier::OnEntryUpdated method.
292 Setting a notifier is not usually necessary. It is used to handle
293 certain cases when modifying an archive in a pipeline (i.e. between
294 non-seekable streams).
296 void SetNotifier(wxArchiveNotifier
& notifier
);
299 Unsets the notifier eventually attached to this entry.
301 virtual void UnsetNotifier();
306 Type of stream enumeration; used by wxArchiveClassFactory methods.
308 enum wxStreamProtocolType
310 wxSTREAM_PROTOCOL
, //!< wxFileSystem protocol (should be only one)
311 wxSTREAM_MIMETYPE
, //!< MIME types the stream handles
312 wxSTREAM_ENCODING
, //!< Not used for archives
313 wxSTREAM_FILEEXT
//!< File extensions the stream handles
317 @class wxArchiveClassFactory
320 Allows the creation of streams to handle archive formats such as zip and tar.
322 For example, given a filename you can search for a factory that will
323 handle it and create a stream to read it:
326 factory = wxArchiveClassFactory::Find(filename, wxSTREAM_FILEEXT);
328 stream = factory->NewStream(new wxFFileInputStream(filename));
331 wxArchiveClassFactory::Find can also search for a factory by MIME type
332 or wxFileSystem protocol.
334 The available factories can be enumerated using
335 wxArchiveClassFactory::GetFirst() and wxArchiveClassFactory::GetNext().
340 @see @ref overview_archive, @ref overview_archive_generic, wxArchiveEntry,
341 wxArchiveInputStream, wxArchiveOutputStream, wxFilterClassFactory
343 class wxArchiveClassFactory
: public wxObject
347 Returns @true if this factory can handle the given protocol, MIME type
350 When using wxSTREAM_FILEEXT for the second parameter, the first parameter
351 can be a complete filename rather than just an extension.
353 bool CanHandle(const wxChar
* protocol
,
354 wxStreamProtocolType type
= wxSTREAM_PROTOCOL
) const;
357 A static member that finds a factory that can handle a given protocol, MIME
358 type or file extension. Returns a pointer to the class factory if found, or
359 @NULL otherwise. It does not give away ownership of the factory.
361 When using wxSTREAM_FILEEXT for the second parameter, the first parameter
362 can be a complete filename rather than just an extension.
364 static const wxArchiveClassFactory
* Find(const wxChar
* protocol
,
365 wxStreamProtocolType type
= wxSTREAM_PROTOCOL
);
368 Returns the wxMBConv object that the created streams will use when
369 translating meta-data. The initial default, set by the constructor,
372 wxMBConv
GetConv() const;
375 Sets the wxMBConv object that the created streams will use when
376 translating meta-data.
378 void SetConv(wxMBConv
& conv
);
382 GetFirst and GetNext can be used to enumerate the available factories.
383 For example, to list them:
387 const wxArchiveClassFactory *factory = wxArchiveClassFactory::GetFirst();
390 list << factory->GetProtocol() << _T("\n");
391 factory = factory->GetNext();
395 GetFirst() and GetNext() return a pointer to a factory or @NULL if no more
396 are available. They do not give away ownership of the factory.
398 static const wxArchiveClassFactory
* GetFirst() const;
399 const wxArchiveClassFactory
* GetNext() const;
403 Calls the static GetInternalName() function for the archive entry type,
404 for example wxZipEntry::GetInternalName.
406 wxString
GetInternalName(const wxString
& name
,
407 wxPathFormat format
= wxPATH_NATIVE
) const;
410 Returns the wxFileSystem protocol supported by this factory.
411 Equivalent to @code wxString(*GetProtocols()) @endcode.
413 wxString
GetProtocol() const;
416 Returns the protocols, MIME types or file extensions supported by this
417 factory, as an array of null terminated strings.
419 It does not give away ownership of the array or strings.
420 For example, to list the file extensions a factory supports:
424 const wxChar *const *p;
426 for (p = factory->GetProtocols(wxSTREAM_FILEEXT); *p; p++)
427 list << *p << _T("\n");
430 const wxChar
* const* GetProtocols(wxStreamProtocolType type
= wxSTREAM_PROTOCOL
) const;
433 Create a new wxArchiveEntry object of the appropriate type.
435 wxArchiveEntry
* NewEntry() const;
439 Create a new input or output stream to read or write an archive.
441 If the parent stream is passed as a pointer then the new archive stream
442 takes ownership of it. If it is passed by reference then it does not.
444 wxArchiveInputStream
* NewStream(wxInputStream
& stream
) const;
445 wxArchiveOutputStream
* NewStream(wxOutputStream
& stream
) const;
446 wxArchiveInputStream
* NewStream(wxInputStream
* stream
) const;
447 wxArchiveOutputStream
* NewStream(wxOutputStream
* stream
) const;
451 Adds this class factory to the list returned by GetFirst() or GetNext().
453 It is not necessary to do this to use the archive streams. It is usually
454 used when implementing streams, typically the implementation will
455 add a static instance of its factory class.
457 It can also be used to change the order of a factory already in the list,
458 bringing it to the front. This isn't a thread safe operation
459 so can't be done when other threads are running that will be using the list.
460 The list does not take ownership of the factory.
465 Removes this class factory from the list returned by GetFirst() and GetNext().
467 Removing from the list isn't a thread safe operation so can't be done when
468 other threads are running that will be using the list.
469 The list does not own the factories, so removing a factory does not delete it.
477 @class wxArchiveNotifier
480 If you need to know when a wxArchiveInputStream updates a wxArchiveEntry
481 object, you can create a notifier by deriving from this abstract base class,
482 overriding wxArchiveNotifier::OnEntryUpdated.
484 An instance of your notifier class can then be assigned to the wxArchiveEntry
485 object using wxArchiveEntry::SetNotifier.
486 Your OnEntryUpdated() method will then be invoked whenever the input
487 stream updates the entry.
489 Setting a notifier is not usually necessary. It is used to handle
490 certain cases when modifying an archive in a pipeline (i.e. between
491 non-seekable streams).
492 See @ref overview_archive_noseek.
497 @see @ref overview_archive_noseek, wxArchiveEntry, wxArchiveInputStream,
498 wxArchiveOutputStream
500 class wxArchiveNotifier
504 This method must be overridden in your derived class.
506 void OnEntryUpdated(class wxArchiveEntry
& entry
);
512 @class wxArchiveIterator
515 An input iterator template class that can be used to transfer an archive's
516 catalogue to a container. It is only available if wxUSE_STL is set to 1
517 in setup.h, and the uses for it outlined below require a compiler which
518 supports member templates.
521 template class Arc, class T = typename Arc::entry_type*
522 class wxArchiveIterator
524 // this constructor creates an 'end of sequence' object
527 // template parameter 'Arc' should be the type of an archive input stream
528 wxArchiveIterator(Arc& arc) {
534 The first template parameter should be the type of archive input stream
535 (e.g. wxArchiveInputStream) and the second can either be a pointer to an entry
536 (e.g. wxArchiveEntry*), or a string/pointer pair (e.g. std::pairwxString,
539 The @c wx/archive.h header defines the following typedefs:
542 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream> wxArchiveIter;
544 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream,
545 std::pair<wxString, wxArchiveEntry*> > wxArchivePairIter;
548 The header for any implementation of this interface should define similar
549 typedefs for its types, for example in @c wx/zipstrm.h there is:
552 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream> wxZipIter;
554 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
555 std::pair<wxString, wxZipEntry*> > wxZipPairIter;
558 Transferring the catalogue of an archive @e arc to a vector @e cat,
559 can then be done something like this:
562 std::vector<wxArchiveEntry*> cat((wxArchiveIter)arc, wxArchiveIter());
565 When the iterator is dereferenced, it gives away ownership of an entry
566 object. So in the above example, when you have finished with @e cat
567 you must delete the pointers it contains.
569 If you have smart pointers with normal copy semantics (i.e. not auto_ptr
570 or wxScopedPtr), then you can create an iterator which uses them instead.
572 For example, with a smart pointer class for zip entries @e ZipEntryPtr:
575 typedef std::vector<ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
576 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream, ZipEntryPtr> ZipIter;
577 ZipCatalog cat((ZipIter)zip, ZipIter());
580 Iterators that return std::pair objects can be used to populate a std::multimap,
581 to allow entries to be looked up by name.
582 The string is initialised using the wxArchiveEntry object's
583 wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalName function.
586 typedef std::multimap<wxString, wxZipEntry*> ZipCatalog;
587 ZipCatalog cat((wxZipPairIter)zip, wxZipPairIter());
590 Note that this iterator also gives away ownership of an entry
591 object each time it is dereferenced. So in the above example, when
592 you have finished with @e cat you must delete the pointers it contains.
594 Or if you have them, a pair containing a smart pointer can be used
595 (again @e ZipEntryPtr), no worries about ownership:
598 typedef std::multimap<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
599 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
600 std::pair<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> > ZipPairIter;
601 ZipCatalog cat((ZipPairIter)zip, ZipPairIter());
607 @see wxArchiveEntry, wxArchiveInputStream, wxArchiveOutputStream
609 class wxArchiveIterator
618 Construct the iterator that returns all the entries in the archive input
621 wxArchiveIterator(Arc
& arc
);
624 Returns an entry object from the archive input stream, giving away
627 const T
operator*() const;
631 Position the input iterator at the next entry in the archive input stream.
633 wxArchiveIterator
operator++();
634 wxArchiveIterator
operator++(int);
