DESCRIPTION

This class represents an entry, which is file metadata for a file stored in an archive or on the local file system.

CONSTRUCTOR

This is a subset of total list of methods available to all archive classes. For the full list see "Archive::Libarchive::Entry" in Archive::Libarchive::API.

new

my $e = Archive::Libarchive::Entry->new;

Create a new Entry object.

METHODS

This is a subset of total list of methods available to all archive classes. For the full list see "Archive::Libarchive::Entry" in Archive::Libarchive::API.

filetype

# archive_entry_filetype
my $code = $e->filetype;

This returns the type of file for the entry. This will be a dualvar where the string is one of mt, reg, lnx, sock, chr, blk, dir or ifo, and integer values will match the corresponding AE_IF prefixed constant. See "CONSTANTS" in Archive::Libarchive::API for the full list.

set_filetype

# archive_entry_set_filetype
$e->set_filetype($code);

This sets the type of the file for the entry. This will accept either a string value which is one of mt, reg, lnx, sock, chr, blk, dir or ifo, or an integer constant value with the AE_IF prefix. See "CONSTANTS" in Archive::Libarchive::API for the full list.

digest

# archive_entry_digest
my $string = $e->digest($type);

This is used to query the raw hex digest for the given entry. The type of digest is provided as an argument. The type may be passed in as either a string or an integer constant. The constant prefix is ARCHIVE_ENTRY_DIGEST_. So for an MD5 digest you could pass in either 'md5' or ARCHIVE_ENTRY_DIGEST_MD5.

xattr_add_entry

# archive_entry_xattr_add_entry
my $int = $e->xattr_add_entry($name, $value);

Adds an xattr name/value pair.

xattr_next

# archive_entry_xattr_next
my $int = $e->xattr_next(\$name, $value);

Fetches the next xattr name/value pair.

copy_stat

# archive_entry_copy_stat
$e->copy_stat($stat);

Copies the values from a FFI::C::Stat instance.

Not currently implemented on Windows.

stat

# archive_entry_stat
my $stat = $e->stat;

Returns a FFI::C::Stat instance filled out from the entry metadata.

Not currently implemented on Windows.

clone

# archive_entry_clone
my $e2 = $e->clone;

Clone the entry instance.

copy_mac_metadata

# archive_entry_copy_mac_metadata
$e->copy_mac_metadata($meta);

Sets the mac metadata to $meta.

mac_metadata

# archive_entry_mac_metadata
my $meta = $e->mac_metadata;

Get the mac metadata from the entry.

Archive::Libarchive

This is the main top-level module for using libarchive from Perl. It is the best place to start reading the documentation. It pulls in the other classes and libarchive constants so that you only need one use statement to effectively use libarchive.

Archive::Libarchive::API

This contains the full and complete API for all of the Archive::Libarchive classes. Because libarchive has hundreds of methods, the main documentation pages elsewhere only contain enough to be useful, and not to overwhelm.

Archive::Libarchive::Archive

The base class of all archive classes. This includes some common error reporting functionality among other things.

Archive::Libarchive::ArchiveRead

This class is used for reading from archives.

Archive::Libarchive::ArchiveWrite

This class is for creating new archives.

Archive::Libarchive::DiskRead

This class is for reading Archive::Libarchive::Entry objects from disk so that they can be written to Archive::Libarchive::ArchiveWrite objects.

Archive::Libarchive::DiskWrite

This class is for writing Archive::Libarchive::Entry objects to disk that have been written from Archive::Libarchive::ArchiveRead objects.

Archive::Libarchive::EntryLinkResolver

This class exposes the libarchive link resolver API.

Archive::Libarchive::Match

This class exposes the libarchive match API.

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Libarchive

Build Dist::Zilla based dist tarballs with libarchive instead of the built in Archive::Tar.

Alien::Libarchive3

If a suitable system libarchive can't be found, then this Alien will be installed to provide it.
