Public Methods

 KZip (const QString &filename)
 Creates an instance that operates on the given filename.

 KZip (QIODevice *dev)
 Creates an instance that operates on the given device.

virtual ~KZip ()
 If the zip file is still opened, then it will be closed automatically by the destructor.

QString fileName ()
 The name of the zip file, as passed to the constructor Null if you used the QIODevice constructor.

void setCompression (Compression c)
 Call this before writeFile or prepareWriting, to define whether the next files to be written should be compressed or not.

virtual bool writeFile (const QString &name, const QString &user, const QString &group, uint size, const char *data)
 If an archive is opened for writing then you can add a new file using this function.

virtual bool prepareWriting (const QString &name, const QString &user, const QString &group, uint size)
 Alternative method: call prepareWriting, writeData in small chunks, doneWriting.

virtual bool doneWriting (uint size)
 Call doneWriting after writing the data.


Protected Methods

virtual bool openArchive (int mode)
 Opens the archive for reading.

virtual bool closeArchive ()
 Closes the archive.

virtual bool writeDir (const QString &, const QString &, const QString &)
 If an archive is opened for writing then you can add new directories using this function.

virtual void virtual_hook (int id, void *data)

Detailed Description

A class for reading/writing zip archives.

Author:
Holger Schroeder <holger-kde@holgis.net>
This class implements a kioslave to acces ZIP files from KDE. you can use it in IO_ReadOnly or in IO_WriteOnly mode, and it behaves just as expected (i hope ;-) ). It can also be used in IO_ReadWrite mode, in this case one can append files to an existing zip archive. when you append new files, which are not yet in the zip, it works as expected, they are appended at the end. when you append a file, which is already in the file, the reference to the old file is dropped and the new one is added to the zip. but the old data from the file itself is not deleted, it is still in the zipfile. so when you want to have a small and garbagefree zipfile, just read the contents of the appended zipfile and write it to a new one in IO_WriteOnly mode. exspecially take care of this, when you donīt want to leak information of how intermediate versions of files in the zip were looking. for more information on the zip fileformat go to http://www.pkware.com/support/appnote.html .

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KZip::KZip const QString   filename
 

Creates an instance that operates on the given filename.

using the compression filter associated to given mimetype.

Parameters:
filename  is a local path (e.g. "/home/holger/myfile.zip")

Definition at line 120 of file kzip.cpp.

KZip::KZip QIODevice   dev
 

Creates an instance that operates on the given device.

The device can be compressed (KFilterDev) or not (QFile, etc.). WARNING: don't assume that giving a QFile here will decompress the file, in case it's compressed!

Definition at line 129 of file kzip.cpp.

KZip::~KZip   [virtual]
 

If the zip file is still opened, then it will be closed automatically by the destructor.

Definition at line 136 of file kzip.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

QString KZip::fileName   [inline]
 

The name of the zip file, as passed to the constructor Null if you used the QIODevice constructor.
