72 The tar format stores all the meta-data for an entry ahead of its data,
73 therefore \helpref{GetNextEntry()}{wxtarinputstreamgetnextentry} always returns
74 a fully populated wxTarEntry object, both when reading from seekable and

139 The user ID and group ID that has \helpref{permissions}{wxtarentrymode} over
140 this entry. These values aren't usually useful unless the file will only be
141 restored to the same system it originated from. \helpref{Get/SetGroupName and

159 \membersection{wxTarEntry::GetInternalName}\label{wxtarentrygetinternalname}
160
161 \constfunc{wxString}{GetInternalName}{\void}
162
163 Returns the entry's filename in the internal format used within the
164 archive. The name can include directory components, i.e. it can be a
165 full path.
166
167 The names of directory entries are returned without any trailing path
168 separator. This gives a canonical name that can be used in comparisons.
169
170 \func{wxString}{GetInternalName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}, \param{bool* }{pIsDir = NULL}}
171
172 A static member that translates a filename into the internal format used
173 within the archive. If the third parameter is provided, the bool pointed
174 to is set to indicate whether the name looks like a directory name
175 (i.e. has a trailing path separator).
176
177
178 \membersection{wxTarEntry::Get/SetLinkName}\label{wxtarentrylinkname}
179
180 \constfunc{wxString}{GetLinkName}{\void}
181
182 \func{void}{SetLinkName}{\param{const wxString\& }{link}}
183
184 The filename of a previous entry in the tar that this entry is a link to.
185 Only meaningful when \helpref{TypeFlag}{wxtarentrytypeflag} is set
186 to {\it wxTAR\_LNKTYPE} or {\it wxTAR\_SYMTYPE}.

197 Symbols are defined for them in <wx/file.h>.

216
217 \func{void}{SetSize}{\param{wxFileOffset }{size}}
218
219 \constfunc{wxFileOffset}{GetSize}{\void}
220
221 The size of the entry's data in bytes.
222
223 The tar archive format stores the entry's size ahead of the entry's data.
224 Therefore when creating an archive on a non-seekable stream it is necessary to
225 supply the correct size when each entry is created. For seekable streams this
226 is not necessary as \helpref{wxTarOutputStream}{wxtaroutputstream} will attempt
227 to seek back and fix the entry's header when the entry is closed, though it is
228 still more efficient if the size is given beforehand.
229

232
233 \constfunc{int}{GetTypeFlag}{\void}
234
235 \func{void}{SetTypeFlag}{\param{int }{type}}
236
237 Returns the type of the entry. It should be one of the following:
238
239 \begin{verbatim}
240 // TypeFlag values
241 enum {
242 wxTAR_REGTYPE = '0', // regular file
243 wxTAR_LNKTYPE = '1', // hard link
244 wxTAR_SYMTYPE = '2', // symbolic link
245 wxTAR_CHRTYPE = '3', // character special
246 wxTAR_BLKTYPE = '4', // block special
247 wxTAR_DIRTYPE = '5', // directory
248 wxTAR_FIFOTYPE = '6', // named pipe
249 wxTAR_CONTTYPE = '7' // contiguous file
250 };
251
252 \end{verbatim}
253
254 When creating archives use just these values. When reading archives
255 any other values should be treated as {\it wxTAR\_REGTYPE}.
256
257
258 \membersection{wxTarEntry::operator=}\label{wxtarentryoperatorassign}

270 \section{\class{wxTarInputStream}}\label{wxtarinputstream}
271
272 Input stream for reading tar files.
273
274 \helpref{GetNextEntry()}{wxtarinputstreamgetnextentry} returns an
275 \helpref{wxTarEntry}{wxtarentry} object containing the meta-data
276 for the next entry in the tar (and gives away ownership). Reading from
277 the wxTarInputStream then returns the entry's data. Eof() becomes true
278 after an attempt has been made to read past the end of the entry's data.
279 When there are no more entries, GetNextEntry() returns NULL and sets Eof().
280
281 Tar entries are seekable if the parent stream is seekable. In practice this
282 usually means they are only seekable if the tar is stored as a local file and
283 is not compressed.

311 Constructor. In a Unicode build the second parameter {\it conv} is

359 Output stream for writing tar files.
360
361 \helpref{PutNextEntry()}{wxtaroutputstreamputnextentry} is used to create
362 a new entry in the output tar, then the entry's data is written to the
363 wxTarOutputStream. Another call to PutNextEntry() closes the current
364 entry and begins the next.

404
405 If the parent stream is passed as a pointer then the new filter stream
406 takes ownership of it. If it is passed by reference then it does not.
407
408 In a Unicode build the third parameter {\it conv} is used to translate the
409 headers fields into an 8-bit encoding. It has no effect on the stream's data.
410
411 When the {\it format} is {\it wxTAR\_PAX}, pax extended headers are generated
412 when any header field will not fit the standard tar header block or if it
413 uses any non-ascii characters.
414
415 Extended headers are stored as extra 'files' within the tar, and will be
416 extracted as such by any other tar program that does not understand them.
417 The {\it conv} parameter only affect the standard tar headers, the extended
418 headers are always UTF-8 encoded.
419
420 When the {\it format} is {\it wxTAR\_USTAR}, no extended headers are
421 generated, and instead a warning message is logged if any header field
422 overflows.

442
443 \func{bool}{CloseEntry}{\void}
444
445 Close the current entry. It is called implicitly whenever another new
446 entry is created with \helpref{CopyEntry()}{wxtaroutputstreamcopyentry}
447 or \helpref{PutNextEntry()}{wxtaroutputstreamputnextentry}, or
448 when the tar is closed.

450
451 \membersection{wxTarOutputStream::CopyArchiveMetaData}\label{wxtaroutputstreamcopyarchivemetadata}
452
453 \func{bool}{CopyArchiveMetaData}{\param{wxTarInputStream\& }{s}}
454
455 See \helpref{wxArchiveOutputStream::CopyArchiveMetaData}{wxarchiveoutputstreamcopyarchivemetadata}.
456 For the tar format this function does nothing.
457
458
459 \membersection{wxTarOutputStream::CopyEntry}\label{wxtaroutputstreamcopyentry}
460
461 \func{bool}{CopyEntry}{\param{wxTarEntry* }{entry}, \param{wxTarInputStream\& }{inputStream}}
462
463 Takes ownership of {\it entry} and uses it to create a new entry
464 in the tar. {\it entry} is then opened in {\it inputStream} and its contents
465 copied to this stream.
466
467 For some other archive formats CopyEntry() is much more efficient than
468 transferring the data using Read() and Write() since it will copy them
469 without decompressing and recompressing them. For tar however it makes
470 no difference.
471
472 For tars on seekable streams, {\it entry} must be from the same tar file
473 as {\it stream}. For non-seekable streams, {\it entry} must also be the
474 last thing read from {\it inputStream}.

484
485 Defaults to 10 for {\it wxTAR\_PAX} and 20 for {\it wxTAR\_USTAR}
486 (see the \helpref{constructor}{wxtaroutputstreamwxtaroutputstream}), as
487 specified in the POSIX standards.
