6 \section{\class{wxArchiveClassFactory}}\label{wxarchiveclassfactory}
7
8 Allows the creation of streams to handle archive formats such
9 as zip and tar.
10
11 For example, given a filename you can search for a factory that will
12 handle it and create a stream to read it:
13
14 \begin{verbatim}
15 factory = wxArchiveClassFactory::Find(filename, wxSTREAM_FILEEXT);
16 if (factory)
17 stream = factory->NewStream(new wxFFileInputStream(filename));
18
19 \end{verbatim}
20
21 \helpref{Find()}{wxarchiveclassfactoryfind} can also search
22 for a factory by MIME type or wxFileSystem protocol.
23 The available factories can be enumerated
24 using \helpref{GetFirst() and GetNext()}{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}.

64
65 \constfunc{wxMBConv\&}{GetConv}{\void}
66
67 \func{void}{SetConv}{\param{wxMBConv\& }{conv}}
68
69 The \helpref{wxMBConv}{wxmbconv} object that the created streams
70 will use when translating meta-data. The initial default, set by the
71 constructor, is wxConvLocal.
72
73
74 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::CanHandle}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorycanhandle}
75
76 \constfunc{bool}{CanHandle}{\param{const wxChar* }{protocol}, \param{wxStreamProtocolType }{type = wxSTREAM\_PROTOCOL}}
77
78 Returns true if this factory can handle the given protocol, MIME type
79 or file extension.
80
81 When using wxSTREAM\_FILEEXT for the second parameter, the first parameter
82 can be a complete filename rather than just an extension.
83
84
85 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::Find}\label{wxarchiveclassfactoryfind}
86
87 \func{static const wxArchiveClassFactory*}{Find}{\param{const wxChar* }{protocol}, \param{wxStreamProtocolType }{type = wxSTREAM\_PROTOCOL}}
88
89 A static member that finds a factory that can handle a given protocol, MIME
90 type or file extension. Returns a pointer to the class factory if found, or
91 NULL otherwise. It does not give away ownership of the factory.
92
93 When using wxSTREAM\_FILEEXT for the second parameter, the first parameter
94 can be a complete filename rather than just an extension.

96
97 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetFirst/GetNext}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}
98
99 \func{static const wxArchiveClassFactory*}{GetFirst}{\void}
100
101 \constfunc{const wxArchiveClassFactory*}{GetNext}{\void}
102
103 GetFirst and GetNext can be used to enumerate the available factories.
104
105 For example, to list them:
106
107 \begin{verbatim}
108 wxString list;
109 const wxArchiveClassFactory *factory = wxArchiveClassFactory::GetFirst();
110
111 while (factory) {
112 list << factory->GetProtocol() << _T("\n");
113 factory = factory->GetNext();
114 }
115
116 \end{verbatim}
117
118 GetFirst()/GetNext() return a pointer to a factory or NULL if no more
119 are available. They do not give away ownership of the factory.
120
121
122 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetInternalName}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetinternalname}
123
124 \constfunc{wxString}{GetInternalName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
125
126 Calls the static GetInternalName() function for the archive entry type,
127 for example
128 \helpref{wxZipEntry::GetInternalName()}{wxzipentrygetinternalname}.
129
130
131 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetProtocol}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetprotocol}
132
133 \constfunc{wxString}{GetProtocol}{\void}
134
135 Returns the wxFileSystem protocol supported by this factory. Equivalent
136 to wxString(*GetProtcols()).
137
138
139 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetProtocols}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetprotocols}
140
141 \constfunc{const wxChar * const*}{GetProtocols}{\param{wxStreamProtocolType }{type = wxSTREAM\_PROTOCOL}}
142
143 Returns the protocols, MIME types or file extensions supported by this
144 factory, as an array of null terminated strings. It does not give away
145 ownership of the array or strings.
146
147 For example, to list the file extensions a factory supports:
148
149 \begin{verbatim}
150 wxString list;
151 const wxChar *const *p;
152
153 for (p = factory->GetProtocols(wxSTREAM_FILEEXT); *p; p++)
154 list << *p << _T("\n");
155
156 \end{verbatim}
157
158
159 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::NewEntry}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorynewentry}
160
161 \constfunc{wxArchiveEntry*}{NewEntry}{\void}
162
163 Create a new \helpref{wxArchiveEntry}{wxarchiveentry} object of the
164 appropriate type.
165
166
167 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::NewStream}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorynewstream}
168
169 \constfunc{wxArchiveInputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxInputStream\& }{stream}}
170
171 \constfunc{wxArchiveOutputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\& }{stream}}
172
173 \constfunc{wxArchiveInputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxInputStream* }{stream}}
174
175 \constfunc{wxArchiveOutputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxOutputStream* }{stream}}
176
177 Create a new input or output stream to read or write an archive.
178
179 If the parent stream is passed as a pointer then the new archive stream
180 takes ownership of it. If it is passed by reference then it does not.
181
182
183 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::PushFront}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorypushfront}
184
185 \func{void}{PushFront}{\void}
186
187 Adds this class factory to the list returned
188 by \helpref{GetFirst()/GetNext()}{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}.
189
190 It is not necessary to do this to use the archive streams. It is usually
191 used when implementing streams, typically the implementation will
192 add a static instance of its factory class.
193
194 It can also be used to change the order of a factory already in the list,
195 bringing it to the front. This isn't a thread safe operation
196 so can't be done when other threads are running that will be using the list.
197
198 The list does not take ownership of the factory.
199
200
201 \membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::Remove}\label{wxarchiveclassfactoryremove}
202
203 \func{void}{Remove}{\void}
204
205 Removes this class factory from the list returned
206 by \helpref{GetFirst()/GetNext()}{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}.
207
208 Removing from the list isn't a thread safe operation
209 so can't be done when other threads are running that will be using the list.
210
211 The list does not own the factories, so removing a factory does not delete it.

219 \section{\class{wxArchiveEntry}}\label{wxarchiveentry}
220
221 An abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
222 archive entry classes such as \helpref{wxZipEntry}{wxzipentry}.
223 These hold the meta-data (filename, timestamp, etc.), for entries
224 in archive files such as zips and tars.

247
248 This information applies only when reading archives from non-seekable
249 streams. When the stream is
250 seekable \helpref{GetNextEntry()}{wxarchiveinputstreamgetnextentry}
251 returns a fully populated \helpref{wxArchiveEntry}{wxarchiveentry}.
252 See '\helpref{Archives on non-seekable streams}{wxarcnoseek}' for
253 more information.
254
255 For generic programming, when the worst case must be assumed, you can
256 rely on all the fields of wxArchiveEntry being fully populated when
257 GetNextEntry() returns, with the the following exceptions:
258
259 \begin{twocollist}\twocolwidtha{3cm}
260 \twocolitem{\helpref{GetSize()}{wxarchiveentrysize}}{Guaranteed to be
261 available after the entry has been read to \helpref{Eof()}{wxinputstreameof},
262 or \helpref{CloseEntry()}{wxarchiveinputstreamcloseentry} has been called}
263 \twocolitem{\helpref{IsReadOnly()}{wxarchiveentryisreadonly}}{Guaranteed to
264 be available after the end of the archive has been reached, i.e. after
265 GetNextEntry() returns NULL and Eof() is true}

284
285 The entry's timestamp.
286
287
288 \membersection{wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalFormat}\label{wxarchiveentrygetinternalformat}
289
290 \constfunc{wxPathFormat}{GetInternalFormat}{\void}
291
292 Returns the path format used internally within the archive to store
293 filenames.
294
295
296 \membersection{wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalName}\label{wxarchiveentrygetinternalname}
297
298 \constfunc{wxString}{GetInternalName}{\void}
299
300 Returns the entry's filename in the internal format used within the
301 archive. The name can include directory components, i.e. it can be a
302 full path.
303
304 The names of directory entries are returned without any trailing path
305 separator. This gives a canonical name that can be used in comparisons.

315
316 \func{void}{SetName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
317
318 The entry's name, by default in the native format. The name can include
319 directory components, i.e. it can be a full path.
320
321 If this is a directory entry, (i.e. if \helpref{IsDir()}{wxarchiveentryisdir}
322 is true) then GetName() returns the name with a trailing path separator.
323
324 Similarly, setting a name with a trailing path separator sets IsDir().

326
327 \membersection{wxArchiveEntry::GetOffset}\label{wxarchiveentrygetoffset}
328
329 \constfunc{off\_t}{GetOffset}{\void}

335
336 \constfunc{off\_t}{GetSize}{\void}

344
345 \constfunc{bool}{IsDir}{\void}
346
347 \func{void}{SetIsDir}{\param{bool }{isDir = true}}
348
349 True if this is a directory entry.
350
351 Directory entries are entries with no data, which are used to store
352 the meta-data of directories. They also make it possible for completely
353 empty directories to be stored.
354
355 The names of entries within an archive can be complete paths, and
356 unarchivers typically create whatever directories are necessary as they
357 restore files, even if the archive contains no explicit directory entries.

361
362 \constfunc{bool}{IsReadOnly}{\void}
363
364 \func{void}{SetIsReadOnly}{\param{bool }{isReadOnly = true}}
365
366 True if the entry is a read-only file.
367
368
369 \membersection{wxArchiveEntry::Set/UnsetNotifier}\label{wxarchiveentrynotifier}
370
371 \func{void}{SetNotifier}{\param{wxArchiveNotifier\& }{notifier}}
372
373 \func{void}{UnsetNotifier}{\void}
374
375 Sets the \helpref{notifier}{wxarchivenotifier} for this entry.
376 Whenever the \helpref{wxArchiveInputStream}{wxarchiveinputstream} updates
377 this entry, it will then invoke the associated
378 notifier's \helpref{OnEntryUpdated}{wxarchivenotifieronentryupdated}
379 method.
380
381 Setting a notifier is not usually necessary. It is used to handle
382 certain cases when modifying an archive in a pipeline (i.e. between
383 non-seekable streams).

400
401 \helpref{GetNextEntry()}{wxarchiveinputstreamgetnextentry} returns an
402 \helpref{wxArchiveEntry}{wxarchiveentry} object containing the meta-data

404 the wxArchiveInputStream then returns the entry's data. Eof() becomes true
405 after an attempt has been made to read past the end of the entry's data.
406 When there are no more entries, GetNextEntry() returns NULL and sets Eof().

473 \section{\class{wxArchiveIterator}}\label{wxarchiveiterator}
474
475 An input iterator template class that can be used to transfer an archive's
476 catalogue to a container. It is only available if wxUSE\_STL is set to 1
477 in setup.h, and the uses for it outlined below require a compiler which
478 supports member templates.
479
480 \begin{verbatim}
481 template <class Arc, class T = typename Arc::entry_type*>
482 class wxArchiveIterator
483 {
484 // this constructor creates an 'end of sequence' object
485 wxArchiveIterator();
486
487 // template parameter 'Arc' should be the type of an archive input stream
488 wxArchiveIterator(Arc& arc) {
489
490 /* ... */
491 };
492
493 \end{verbatim}
494
495 The first template parameter should be the type of archive input stream
496 (e.g. \helpref{wxArchiveInputStream}{wxarchiveinputstream}) and the
497 second can either be a pointer to an entry
498 (e.g. \helpref{wxArchiveEntry}{wxarchiveentry}*), or a string/pointer pair
499 (e.g. std::pair<wxString, wxArchiveEntry*>).
500
501 The {\tt <wx/archive.h>} header defines the following typedefs:
502
503 \begin{verbatim}
504 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream> wxArchiveIter;
505
506 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream,
507 std::pair<wxString, wxArchiveEntry*> > wxArchivePairIter;
508
509 \end{verbatim}
510
511 The header for any implementation of this interface should define similar
512 typedefs for its types, for example in {\tt <wx/zipstrm.h>} there is:
513
514 \begin{verbatim}
515 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream> wxZipIter;
516
517 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
518 std::pair<wxString, wxZipEntry*> > wxZipPairIter;
519
520 \end{verbatim}
521
522 Transferring the catalogue of an archive {\it arc} to a vector {\it cat},
523 can then be done something like this:
524
525 \begin{verbatim}
526 std::vector<wxArchiveEntry*> cat((wxArchiveIter)arc, wxArchiveIter());
527
528 \end{verbatim}
529
530 When the iterator is dereferenced, it gives away ownership of an entry
531 object. So in the above example, when you have finished with {\it cat}
532 you must delete the pointers it contains.
533
534 If you have smart pointers with normal copy semantics (i.e. not auto\_ptr
535 or \helpref{wxScopedPtr}{wxscopedptr}), then you can create an iterator
536 which uses them instead. For example, with a smart pointer class for
537 zip entries {\it ZipEntryPtr}:
538
539 \begin{verbatim}
540 typedef std::vector<ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
541 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream, ZipEntryPtr> ZipIter;
542 ZipCatalog cat((ZipIter)zip, ZipIter());
543
544 \end{verbatim}
545
546 Iterators that return std::pair objects can be used to
547 populate a std::multimap, to allow entries to be looked
548 up by name. The string is initialised using the wxArchiveEntry object's
549 \helpref{GetInternalName()}{wxarchiveentrygetinternalname} function.
550
551 \begin{verbatim}
552 typedef std::multimap<wxString, wxZipEntry*> ZipCatalog;
553 ZipCatalog cat((wxZipPairIter)zip, wxZipPairIter());
554
555 \end{verbatim}
556
557 Note that this iterator also gives away ownership of an entry
558 object each time it is dereferenced. So in the above example, when
559 you have finished with {\it cat} you must delete the pointers it contains.
560
561 Or if you have them, a pair containing a smart pointer can be used
562 (again {\it ZipEntryPtr}), no worries about ownership:
563
564 \begin{verbatim}
565 typedef std::multimap<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
566 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
567 std::pair<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> > ZipPairIter;
568 ZipCatalog cat((ZipPairIter)zip, ZipPairIter());

632 \section{\class{wxArchiveNotifier}}\label{wxarchivenotifier}
633
634 If you need to know when a
635 \helpref{wxArchiveInputStream}{wxarchiveinputstream} updates a
636 \helpref{wxArchiveEntry}{wxarchiveentry} object, you can create
637 a notifier by deriving from this abstract base class, overriding
638 \helpref{OnEntryUpdated()}{wxarchivenotifieronentryupdated}. An instance
639 of your notifier class can then be assigned to the wxArchiveEntry object
640 using \helpref{wxArchiveEntry::SetNotifier()}{wxarchiveentrynotifier}.
641 Your OnEntryUpdated() method will then be invoked whenever the input
642 stream updates the entry.
643
644 Setting a notifier is not usually necessary. It is used to handle
645 certain cases when modifying an archive in a pipeline (i.e. between
646 non-seekable streams).
647 See \helpref{Archives on non-seekable streams}{wxarcnoseek}.

683 \section{\class{wxArchiveOutputStream}}\label{wxarchiveoutputstream}
684
685 An abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
686 archive output streams such as \helpref{wxZipOutputStream}{wxzipoutputstream}.
687
688 \helpref{PutNextEntry()}{wxarchiveoutputstreamputnextentry} is used
689 to create a new entry in the output archive, then the entry's data is
690 written to the wxArchiveOutputStream. Another call to PutNextEntry()
691 closes the current entry and begins the next.

714 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::\destruct{wxArchiveOutputStream}}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamdtor}
715
716 \func{}{\destruct{wxArchiveOutputStream}}{\void}
717
718 Calls \helpref{Close()}{wxarchiveoutputstreamclose} if it has not already
719 been called.
720
721
722 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::Close}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamclose}
723
724 \func{bool}{Close}{\void}
725
726 Closes the archive, returning true if it was successfully written.
727 Called by the destructor if not called explicitly.
728
729
730 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::CloseEntry}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamcloseentry}
731
732 \func{bool}{CloseEntry}{\void}
733
734 Close the current entry. It is called implicitly whenever another new
735 entry is created with \helpref{CopyEntry()}{wxarchiveoutputstreamcopyentry}
736 or \helpref{PutNextEntry()}{wxarchiveoutputstreamputnextentry}, or
737 when the archive is closed.
738
739
740 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::CopyArchiveMetaData}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamcopyarchivemetadata}
741
742 \func{bool}{CopyArchiveMetaData}{\param{wxArchiveInputStream\& }{stream}}
743
744 Some archive formats have additional meta-data that applies to the archive
745 as a whole. For example in the case of zip there is a comment, which
746 is stored at the end of the zip file. CopyArchiveMetaData() can be used
747 to transfer such information when writing a modified copy of an archive.
748
749 Since the position of the meta-data can vary between the various archive
750 formats, it is best to call CopyArchiveMetaData() before transferring
751 the entries. The \helpref{wxArchiveOutputStream}{wxarchiveoutputstream}
752 will then hold on to the meta-data and write it at the correct point in
753 the output file.
754
755 When the input archive is being read from a non-seekable stream, the
756 meta-data may not be available when CopyArchiveMetaData() is called,
757 in which case the two streams set up a link and transfer the data
758 when it becomes available.
759
760
761 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::CopyEntry}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamcopyentry}
762
763 \func{bool}{CopyEntry}{\param{wxArchiveEntry* }{entry}, \param{wxArchiveInputStream\& }{stream}}
764
765 Takes ownership of {\it entry} and uses it to create a new entry in the
766 archive. {\it entry} is then opened in the input stream {\it stream}
767 and its contents copied to this stream.
768
769 For archive types which compress entry data, CopyEntry() is likely to be
770 much more efficient than transferring the data using Read() and Write()
771 since it will copy them without decompressing and recompressing them.
772
773 {\it entry} must be from the same archive file that {\it stream} is
774 accessing. For non-seekable streams, {\it entry} must also be the last
775 thing read from {\it stream}.

778 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::PutNextDirEntry}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamputnextdirentry}
779
780 \func{bool}{PutNextDirEntry}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{const wxDateTime\& }{dt = wxDateTime::Now()}}
781
782 Create a new directory entry
783 (see \helpref{wxArchiveEntry::IsDir()}{wxarchiveentryisdir})
784 with the given name and timestamp.
785
786 \helpref{PutNextEntry()}{wxarchiveoutputstreamputnextentry} can
787 also be used to create directory entries, by supplying a name with
788 a trailing path separator.

790
791 \membersection{wxArchiveOutputStream::PutNextEntry}\label{wxarchiveoutputstreamputnextentry}
792
793 \func{bool}{PutNextEntry}{\param{wxArchiveEntry* }{entry}}
794
795 Takes ownership of {\it entry} and uses it to create a new entry in
796 the archive. The entry's data can then be written by writing to this
797 wxArchiveOutputStream.
798
799 \func{bool}{PutNextEntry}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{const wxDateTime\& }{dt = wxDateTime::Now()}, \param{off\_t }{size = wxInvalidOffset}}
800
801 Create a new entry with the given name, timestamp and size. The entry's
802 data can then be written by writing to this wxArchiveOutputStream.
