Class TarArchiveEntry

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.tar.TarArchiveEntry
All Implemented Interfaces:
ArchiveEntry, EntryStreamOffsets, TarConstants
public class TarArchiveEntry extends Object implements ArchiveEntry, TarConstants, EntryStreamOffsets
This class represents an entry in a Tar archive. It consists of the entry's header, as well as the entry's File. Entries can be instantiated in one of three ways, depending on how they are to be used.

TarEntries that are created from the header bytes read from an archive are instantiated with the TarArchiveEntry(byte[]) constructor. These entries will be used when extracting from or listing the contents of an archive. These entries have their header filled in using the header bytes. They also set the File to null, since they reference an archive entry not a file.

TarEntries that are created from Files that are to be written into an archive are instantiated with the TarArchiveEntry(File) or TarArchiveEntry(Path) constructor. These entries have their header filled in using the File's information. They also keep a reference to the File for convenience when writing entries.

Finally, TarEntries can be constructed from nothing but a name. This allows the programmer to construct the entry by hand, for instance when only an InputStream is available for writing to the archive, and the header information is constructed from other information. In this case the header fields are set to defaults and the File is set to null.

The C structure for a Tar Entry's header is: 

 struct header {
   char name[100];     // TarConstants.NAMELEN    - offset   0
   char mode[8];       // TarConstants.MODELEN    - offset 100
   char uid[8];        // TarConstants.UIDLEN     - offset 108
   char gid[8];        // TarConstants.GIDLEN     - offset 116
   char size[12];      // TarConstants.SIZELEN    - offset 124
   char mtime[12];     // TarConstants.MODTIMELEN - offset 136
   char chksum[8];     // TarConstants.CHKSUMLEN  - offset 148
   char linkflag[1];   //                         - offset 156
   char linkname[100]; // TarConstants.NAMELEN    - offset 157
   // The following fields are only present in new-style POSIX tar archives:
   char magic[6];      // TarConstants.MAGICLEN   - offset 257
   char version[2];    // TarConstants.VERSIONLEN - offset 263
   char uname[32];     // TarConstants.UNAMELEN   - offset 265
   char gname[32];     // TarConstants.GNAMELEN   - offset 297
   char devmajor[8];   // TarConstants.DEVLEN     - offset 329
   char devminor[8];   // TarConstants.DEVLEN     - offset 337
   char prefix[155];   // TarConstants.PREFIXLEN  - offset 345
   // Used if "name" field is not long enough to hold the path
   char pad[12];       // NULs                    - offset 500
 } header;

All unused bytes are set to null. New-style GNU tar files are slightly different from the above. For values of size larger than 077777777777L (11 7s) or uid and gid larger than 07777777L (7 7s) the sign bit of the first byte is set, and the rest of the field is the binary representation of the number. See TarUtils.parseOctalOrBinary(byte[], int, int).

The C structure for a old GNU Tar Entry's header is: 

 struct oldgnu_header {
   char unused_pad1[345]; // TarConstants.PAD1LEN_GNU       - offset 0
   char atime[12];        // TarConstants.ATIMELEN_GNU      - offset 345
   char ctime[12];        // TarConstants.CTIMELEN_GNU      - offset 357
   char offset[12];       // TarConstants.OFFSETLEN_GNU     - offset 369
   char longnames[4];     // TarConstants.LONGNAMESLEN_GNU  - offset 381
   char unused_pad2;      // TarConstants.PAD2LEN_GNU       - offset 385
   struct sparse sp[4];   // TarConstants.SPARSELEN_GNU     - offset 386
   char isextended;       // TarConstants.ISEXTENDEDLEN_GNU - offset 482
   char realsize[12];     // TarConstants.REALSIZELEN_GNU   - offset 483
   char unused_pad[17];   // TarConstants.PAD3LEN_GNU       - offset 495
 };

Whereas, "struct sparse" is: 

 struct sparse {
   char offset[12];   // offset 0
   char numbytes[12]; // offset 12
 };

The C structure for a xstar (Jörg Schilling star) Tar Entry's header is: 

 struct star_header {
   char name[100];     // offset   0
   char mode[8];       // offset 100
   char uid[8];        // offset 108
   char gid[8];        // offset 116
   char size[12];      // offset 124
   char mtime[12];     // offset 136
   char chksum[8];     // offset 148
   char typeflag;      // offset 156
   char linkname[100]; // offset 157
   char magic[6];      // offset 257
   char version[2];    // offset 263
   char uname[32];     // offset 265
   char gname[32];     // offset 297
   char devmajor[8];   // offset 329
   char devminor[8];   // offset 337
   char prefix[131];   // offset 345
   char atime[12];     // offset 476
   char ctime[12];     // offset 488
   char mfill[8];      // offset 500
   char xmagic[4];     // offset 508  "tar\0"
 };

which is identical to new-style POSIX up to the first 130 bytes of the prefix.

The C structure for the xstar-specific parts of a xstar Tar Entry's header is: 

 struct xstar_in_header {
   char fill[345];         // offset 0     Everything before t_prefix
   char prefix[1];         // offset 345   Prefix for t_name
   char fill2;             // offset 346
   char fill3[8];          // offset 347
   char isextended;        // offset 355
   struct sparse sp[SIH];  // offset 356   8 x 12
   char realsize[12];      // offset 452   Real size for sparse data
   char offset[12];        // offset 464   Offset for multivolume data
   char atime[12];         // offset 476
   char ctime[12];         // offset 488
   char mfill[8];          // offset 500
   char xmagic[4];         // offset 508   "tar\0"
 };
