DESCRIPTION
This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing zip compressed data to files or buffer.
The primary purpose of this module is to provide streaming write access to
zip files and buffers. It is not a general-purpose file archiver. If that
is what you want, check out Archive::Zip
.
At present three compression methods are supported by IO::Compress::Zip, namely Store (no compression at all), Deflate, Bzip2 and LZMA.
Note that to create Bzip2 content, the module IO::Compress::Bzip2
must
be installed.
Note that to create LZMA content, the module IO::Compress::Lzma
must
be installed.
For reading zip files/buffers, see the companion module IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
Functional Interface
A top-level function, zip
, is provided to carry out
"one-shot" compression between buffers and/or files. For finer
control over the compression process, see the OO Interface
section.
The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.
zip $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, OPTS]
zip
expects at least two parameters,
$input_filename_or_reference
and $output_filename_or_reference
.
The $input_filename_or_reference
parameter
The parameter, $input_filename_or_reference
, is used to define the
source of the uncompressed data.
It can take one of the following forms:
- A filename
If the <$input_filename_or_reference> parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for reading and the input data will be read from it.
- A filehandle
If the
$input_filename_or_reference
parameter is a filehandle, the input data will be read from it. The string '-' can be used as an alias for standard input. - A scalar reference
If
$input_filename_or_reference
is a scalar reference, the input data will be read from$$input_filename_or_reference
. - An array reference
If
$input_filename_or_reference
is an array reference, each element in the array must be a filename.The input data will be read from each file in turn.
The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only contains valid filenames before any data is compressed.
- An Input FileGlob string
If
$input_filename_or_reference
is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">"zip
will assume that it is an input fileglob string. The input is the list of files that match the fileglob.See File::GlobMapper for more details.
If the $input_filename_or_reference
parameter is any other type,
undef
will be returned.
In addition, if $input_filename_or_reference
is a simple filename,
the default values for
the Name
, Time
, TextFlag
, ExtAttr
, exUnixN
and exTime
options will be sourced from that file.
If you do not want to use these defaults they can be overridden by
explicitly setting the Name
, Time
, TextFlag
, ExtAttr
, exUnixN
and exTime
options or by setting the
Minimal
parameter.
The $output_filename_or_reference
parameter
The parameter $output_filename_or_reference
is used to control the
destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
these forms.
- A filename
If the
$output_filename_or_reference
parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for writing and the compressed data will be written to it. - A filehandle
If the
$output_filename_or_reference
parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be written to it. The string '-' can be used as an alias for standard output. - A scalar reference
If
$output_filename_or_reference
is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored in$$output_filename_or_reference
. - An Array Reference
If
$output_filename_or_reference
is an array reference, the compressed data will be pushed onto the array. - An Output FileGlob
If
$output_filename_or_reference
is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">"zip
will assume that it is an output fileglob string. The output is the list of files that match the fileglob.When
$output_filename_or_reference
is an fileglob string,$input_filename_or_reference
must also be a fileglob string. Anything else is an error.See File::GlobMapper for more details.
If the $output_filename_or_reference
parameter is any other type,
undef
will be returned.
Notes
When $input_filename_or_reference
maps to multiple files/buffers and
$output_filename_or_reference
is a single
file/buffer the input files/buffers will each be stored
in $output_filename_or_reference
as a distinct entry.
Optional Parameters
Unless specified below, the optional parameters for zip
,
OPTS
, are the same as those used with the OO interface defined in the
Constructor Options section below.
AutoClose => 0|1
This option applies to any input or output data streams to
zip
that are filehandles.If
AutoClose
is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all input and/or output filehandles being closed oncezip
has completed.This parameter defaults to 0.
BinModeIn => 0|1
When reading from a file or filehandle, set
binmode
before reading.Defaults to 0.
Append => 0|1
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data stream.
- A Buffer
If
Append
is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any compressed data is written to it. - A Filename
If
Append
is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed data is written to it. - A Filehandle
If
Append
is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of the file via a call toseek
before any compressed data is written to it. Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
When
Append
is specified, and set to true, it will append all compressed data to the output data stream.So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for appending. If the output is a buffer, all compressed data will be appended to the existing buffer.
Conversely when
Append
is not specified, or it is present and is set to false, it will operate as follows.When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filehandle its position will not be changed. If the output is a buffer, it will be wiped before any compressed data is output.
Defaults to 0.
- A Buffer
Examples
To read the contents of the file file1.txt
and write the compressed
data to the file file1.txt.zip
.
To read from an existing Perl filehandle, $input
, and write the
compressed data to a buffer, $buffer
.
To create a zip file, output.zip
, that contains the compressed contents
of the files alpha.txt
and beta.txt
Alternatively, rather than having to explicitly name each of the files that
you want to compress, you could use a fileglob to select all the txt
files in the current directory, as follows
or more succinctly
OO Interface
Constructor
The format of the constructor for IO::Compress::Zip
is shown below
It returns an IO::Compress::Zip
object on success and undef on failure.
The variable $ZipError
will contain an error message on failure.
If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, $z
, returned from
IO::Compress::Zip can be used exactly like an IO::File filehandle.
This means that all normal output file operations can be carried out
with $z
.
For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer you can use either of
these forms
- $z->print("hello world\n");
- print $z "hello world\n";
The mandatory parameter $output
is used to control the destination
of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
- A filename
If the
$output
parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for writing and the compressed data will be written to it. - A filehandle
If the
$output
parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be written to it. The string '-' can be used as an alias for standard output. - A scalar reference
If
$output
is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored in$$output
.
If the $output
parameter is any other type, IO::Compress::Zip
::new will
return undef.
Constructor Options
OPTS
is any combination of the following options:
AutoClose => 0|1
This option is only valid when the
$output
parameter is a filehandle. If specified, and the value is true, it will result in the$output
being closed once either theclose
method is called or theIO::Compress::Zip
object is destroyed.This parameter defaults to 0.
Append => 0|1
Opens
$output
in append mode.The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of
$output
.- A Buffer
If
$output
is a buffer andAppend
is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of$output
. Otherwise$output
will be cleared before any data is written to it. - A Filename
If
$output
is a filename andAppend
is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed data is written to it. - A Filehandle
If
$output
is a filehandle, the file pointer will be positioned to the end of the file via a call toseek
before any compressed data is written to it. Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
This parameter defaults to 0.
- A Buffer
Name => $string
Stores the contents of
$string
in the zip filename header field.If
Name
is not specified and the$input
parameter is a filename, the value of$input
will be used for the zip filename header field.If
Name
is not specified and the$input
parameter is not a filename, no zip filename field will be created.Note that both the
CanonicalName
andFilterName
options can modify the value used for the zip filename header field.CanonicalName => 0|1
This option controls whether the filename field in the zip header is normalized into Unix format before being written to the zip file.
It is recommended that you enable this option unless you really need to create a non-standard Zip file.
This is what APPNOTE.TXT has to say on what should be stored in the zip filename header field.
- The name of the file, with optional relative path.
- The path stored should not contain a drive or
- device letter, or a leading slash. All slashes
- should be forward slashes '/' as opposed to
- backwards slashes '\' for compatibility with Amiga
- and UNIX file systems etc.
This option defaults to false.
FilterName => sub { ... }
This option allow the filename field in the zip header to be modified before it is written to the zip file.
This option takes a parameter that must be a reference to a sub. On entry to the sub the
$_
variable will contain the name to be filtered. If no filename is available$_
will contain an empty string.The value of
$_
when the sub returns will be stored in the filename header field.Note that if
CanonicalName
is enabled, a normalized filename will be passed to the sub.If you use
FilterName
to modify the filename, it is your responsibility to keep the filename in Unix format.Although this option can be used with the OO interface, it is of most use with the one-shot interface. For example, the code below shows how
FilterName
can be used to remove the path component from a series of filenames before they are stored in$zipfile
.Time => $number
Sets the last modified time field in the zip header to $number.
This field defaults to the time the
IO::Compress::Zip
object was created if this option is not specified and the$input
parameter is not a filename.ExtAttr => $attr
This option controls the "external file attributes" field in the central header of the zip file. This is a 4 byte field.
If you are running a Unix derivative this value defaults to
- 0100644 << 16
This should allow read/write access to any files that are extracted from the zip file/buffer`.
For all other systems it defaults to 0.
exTime => [$atime, $mtime, $ctime]
This option expects an array reference with exactly three elements:
$atime
,mtime
and$ctime
. These correspond to the last access time, last modification time and creation time respectively.It uses these values to set the extended timestamp field (ID is "UT") in the local zip header using the three values, $atime, $mtime, $ctime. In addition it sets the extended timestamp field in the central zip header using
$mtime
.If any of the three values is
undef
that time value will not be used. So, for example, to set only the$mtime
you would use thisIf the
Minimal
option is set to true, this option will be ignored.By default no extended time field is created.
exUnix2 => [$uid, $gid]
This option expects an array reference with exactly two elements:
$uid
and$gid
. These values correspond to the numeric User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID) of the owner of the files respectively.When the
exUnix2
option is present it will trigger the creation of a Unix2 extra field (ID is "Ux") in the local zip header. This will be populated with$uid
and$gid
. An empty Unix2 extra field will also be created in the central zip header.Note - The UID & GID are stored as 16-bit integers in the "Ux" field. Use
exUnixN
if your UID or GID are 32-bit.If the
Minimal
option is set to true, this option will be ignored.By default no Unix2 extra field is created.
exUnixN => [$uid, $gid]
This option expects an array reference with exactly two elements:
$uid
and$gid
. These values correspond to the numeric User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID) of the owner of the files respectively.When the
exUnixN
option is present it will trigger the creation of a UnixN extra field (ID is "ux") in both the local and central zip headers. This will be populated with$uid
and$gid
. The UID & GID are stored as 32-bit integers.If the
Minimal
option is set to true, this option will be ignored.By default no UnixN extra field is created.
Comment => $comment
Stores the contents of
$comment
in the Central File Header of the zip file.By default, no comment field is written to the zip file.
ZipComment => $comment
Stores the contents of
$comment
in the End of Central Directory record of the zip file.By default, no comment field is written to the zip file.
Method => $method
Controls which compression method is used. At present four compression methods are supported, namely Store (no compression at all), Deflate, Bzip2 and Lzma.
The symbols, ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE, ZIP_CM_BZIP2 and ZIP_CM_LZMA are used to select the compression method.
These constants are not imported by
IO::Compress::Zip
by default.Note that to create Bzip2 content, the module
IO::Compress::Bzip2
must be installed. A fatal error will be thrown if you attempt to create Bzip2 content whenIO::Compress::Bzip2
is not available.Note that to create Lzma content, the module
IO::Compress::Lzma
must be installed. A fatal error will be thrown if you attempt to create Lzma content whenIO::Compress::Lzma
is not available.The default method is ZIP_CM_DEFLATE.
Stream => 0|1
This option controls whether the zip file/buffer output is created in streaming mode.
Note that when outputting to a file with streaming mode disabled (
Stream
is 0), the output file must be seekable.The default is 1.
Zip64 => 0|1
Create a Zip64 zip file/buffer. This option is used if you want to store files larger than 4 Gig or store more than 64K files in a single zip archive..
Zip64
will be automatically set, as needed, if working with the one-shot interface when the input is either a filename or a scalar reference.If you intend to manipulate the Zip64 zip files created with this module using an external zip/unzip, make sure that it supports Zip64.
In particular, if you are using Info-Zip you need to have zip version 3.x or better to update a Zip64 archive and unzip version 6.x to read a zip64 archive.
The default is 0.
TextFlag => 0|1
This parameter controls the setting of a bit in the zip central header. It is used to signal that the data stored in the zip file/buffer is probably text.
In one-shot mode this flag will be set to true if the Perl
-T
operator thinks the file contains text.The default is 0.
ExtraFieldLocal => $data
ExtraFieldCentral => $data
The
ExtraFieldLocal
option is used to store additional metadata in the local header for the zip file/buffer. TheExtraFieldCentral
does the same for the matching central header.An extra field consists of zero or more subfields. Each subfield consists of a two byte header followed by the subfield data.
The list of subfields can be supplied in any of the following formats
- ExtraFieldLocal => [$id1, $data1,
- $id2, $data2,
- ...
- ]
- ExtraFieldLocal => [ [$id1 => $data1],
- [$id2 => $data2],
- ...
- ]
- ExtraFieldLocal => { $id1 => $data1,
- $id2 => $data2,
- ...
- }
Where
$id1
,$id2
are two byte subfield ID's.If you use the hash syntax, you have no control over the order in which the ExtraSubFields are stored, plus you cannot have SubFields with duplicate ID.
Alternatively the list of subfields can by supplied as a scalar, thus
- ExtraField => $rawdata
In this case
IO::Compress::Zip
will check that$rawdata
consists of zero or more conformant sub-fields.The Extended Time field (ID "UT"), set using the
exTime
option, and the Unix2 extra field (ID "Ux), set using theexUnix2
option, are examples of extra fields.If the
Minimal
option is set to true, this option will be ignored.The maximum size of an extra field 65535 bytes.
Minimal => 1|0
If specified, this option will disable the creation of all extra fields in the zip local and central headers. So the
exTime
,exUnix2
,exUnixN
,ExtraFieldLocal
andExtraFieldCentral
options will be ignored.This parameter defaults to 0.
BlockSize100K => number
Specify the number of 100K blocks bzip2 uses during compression.
Valid values are from 1 to 9, where 9 is best compression.
This option is only valid if the
Method
is ZIP_CM_BZIP2. It is ignored otherwise.The default is 1.
WorkFactor => number
Specifies how much effort bzip2 should take before resorting to a slower fallback compression algorithm.
Valid values range from 0 to 250, where 0 means use the default value 30.
This option is only valid if the
Method
is ZIP_CM_BZIP2. It is ignored otherwise.The default is 0.
Preset => number
Used to choose the LZMA compression preset.
Valid values are 0-9 and
LZMA_PRESET_DEFAULT
.0 is the fastest compression with the lowest memory usage and the lowest compression.
9 is the slowest compression with the highest memory usage but with the best compression.
This option is only valid if the
Method
is ZIP_CM_LZMA. It is ignored otherwise.Defaults to
LZMA_PRESET_DEFAULT
(6).Extreme => 0|1
Makes LZMA compression a lot slower, but a small compression gain.
This option is only valid if the
Method
is ZIP_CM_LZMA. It is ignored otherwise.Defaults to 0.
- -Level
Defines the compression level used by zlib. The value should either be a number between 0 and 9 (0 means no compression and 9 is maximum compression), or one of the symbolic constants defined below.
- Z_NO_COMPRESSION
- Z_BEST_SPEED
- Z_BEST_COMPRESSION
- Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
The default is Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.
Note, these constants are not imported by
IO::Compress::Zip
by default. - -Strategy
Defines the strategy used to tune the compression. Use one of the symbolic constants defined below.
- Z_FILTERED
- Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
- Z_RLE
- Z_FIXED
- Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY
The default is Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY.
Strict => 0|1
This is a placeholder option.
Examples
TODO
Methods
Usage is
- $z->print($data)
- print $z $data
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data
parameter. This
has the same behaviour as the print
built-in.
Returns true if successful.
printf
Usage is
- $z->printf($format, $data)
- printf $z $format, $data
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data
parameter.
Returns true if successful.
syswrite
Usage is
- $z->syswrite $data
- $z->syswrite $data, $length
- $z->syswrite $data, $length, $offset
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data
parameter.
Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or undef
if
unsuccessful.
write
Usage is
- $z->write $data
- $z->write $data, $length
- $z->write $data, $length, $offset
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data
parameter.
Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or undef
if
unsuccessful.
flush
Usage is
- $z->flush;
- $z->flush($flush_type);
Flushes any pending compressed data to the output file/buffer.
This method takes an optional parameter, $flush_type
, that controls
how the flushing will be carried out. By default the $flush_type
used is Z_FINISH
. Other valid values for $flush_type
are
Z_NO_FLUSH
, Z_SYNC_FLUSH
, Z_FULL_FLUSH
and Z_BLOCK
. It is
strongly recommended that you only set the flush_type
parameter if
you fully understand the implications of what it does - overuse of flush
can seriously degrade the level of compression achieved. See the zlib
documentation for details.
Returns true on success.
tell
Usage is
- $z->tell()
- tell $z
Returns the uncompressed file offset.
eof
Usage is
- $z->eof();
- eof($z);
Returns true if the close
method has been called.
seek
- $z->seek($position, $whence);
- seek($z, $position, $whence);
Provides a sub-set of the seek
functionality, with the restriction
that it is only legal to seek forward in the output file/buffer.
It is a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.
Empty parts of the file/buffer will have NULL (0x00) bytes written to them.
The $whence
parameter takes one the usual values, namely SEEK_SET,
SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END.
Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
binmode
Usage is
- $z->binmode
- binmode $z ;
This is a noop provided for completeness.
opened
- $z->opened()
Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer.
autoflush
If the $z
object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
returns the current autoflush setting for the underlying filehandle. If
EXPR
is present, and is non-zero, it will enable flushing after every
write/print operation.
If $z
is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always
returns undef
.
Note that the special variable $|
cannot be used to set or
retrieve the autoflush setting.
input_line_number
- $z->input_line_number()
- $z->input_line_number(EXPR)
This method always returns undef
when compressing.
fileno
- $z->fileno()
- fileno($z)
If the $z
object is associated with a file or a filehandle, fileno
will return the underlying file descriptor. Once the close
method is
called fileno
will return undef
.
If the $z
object is associated with a buffer, this method will return
undef
.
close
- $z->close() ;
- close $z ;
Flushes any pending compressed data and then closes the output file/buffer.
For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
the IO::Compress::Zip object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the
variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
these cases, the close
method will be called automatically, but
not until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
terminating.
Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
of Perl, you should call close
explicitly and not rely on automatic
closing.
Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
If the AutoClose
option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::Zip
object was created, and the object is associated with a file, the
underlying file will also be closed.
newStream([OPTS])
Usage is
- $z->newStream( [OPTS] )
Closes the current compressed data stream and starts a new one.
OPTS consists of any of the options that are available when creating
the $z
object.
See the Constructor Options section for more details.
deflateParams
Usage is
- $z->deflateParams
TODO
Importing
A number of symbolic constants are required by some methods in
IO::Compress::Zip
. None are imported by default.
