Class TarArchiveInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable

The TarInputStream reads a UNIX tar archive as an InputStream. methods are provided to position at each successive entry in the archive, and the read each entry as a normal input stream using read().
This class is not thread-safe

  • Method Details

    • matches

      public static boolean matches(byte[] signature, int length)
      Checks if the signature matches what is expected for a tar file.
      Parameters:
      signature - the bytes to check
      length - the number of bytes to check
      Returns:
      true, if this stream is a tar archive stream, false otherwise
    • available

      public int available() throws IOException
      Gets the available data that can be read from the current entry in the archive. This does not indicate how much data is left in the entire archive, only in the current entry. This value is determined from the entry's size header field and the amount of data already read from the current entry. Integer.MAX_VALUE is returned in case more than Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes are left in the current entry in the archive.
      Overrides:
      available in class FilterInputStream
      Returns:
      The number of available bytes for the current entry.
      Throws:
      IOException - for signature
    • canReadEntryData

      public boolean canReadEntryData(ArchiveEntry archiveEntry)
      Whether this class is able to read the given entry.
      Overrides:
      canReadEntryData in class ArchiveInputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Parameters:
      archiveEntry - the entry to test
      Returns:
      The implementation will return true if the ArchiveEntry is an instance of TarArchiveEntry
    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Closes this stream. Calls the TarBuffer's close() method.
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Overrides:
      close in class FilterInputStream
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • getCurrentEntry

      Gets the current TAR Archive Entry that this input stream is processing
      Returns:
      The current Archive Entry
    • getLongNameData

      protected byte[] getLongNameData() throws IOException
      Gets the next entry in this tar archive as long name data.
      Returns:
      The next entry in the archive as long name data, or null.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • getNextEntry

      Gets the next TarArchiveEntry in this stream.
      Specified by:
      getNextEntry in class ArchiveInputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Returns:
      the next entry, or null if there are no more entries
      Throws:
      IOException - if the next entry could not be read
    • getNextTarEntry

      Deprecated.
      Gets the next entry in this tar archive. This will skip over any remaining data in the current entry, if there is one, and place the input stream at the header of the next entry, and read the header and instantiate a new TarEntry from the header bytes and return that entry. If there are no more entries in the archive, null will be returned to indicate that the end of the archive has been reached.
      Returns:
      The next TarEntry in the archive, or null.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • getRecordSize

    • isAtEOF

      protected final boolean isAtEOF()
    • isEOFRecord

      protected boolean isEOFRecord(byte[] record)
      Tests if an archive record indicate End of Archive. End of archive is indicated by a record that consists entirely of null bytes.
      Parameters:
      record - The record data to check.
      Returns:
      true if the record data is an End of Archive
    • mark

      public void mark(int markLimit)
      Since we do not support marking just yet, we do nothing.

      Parameters:
      markLimit - The limit to mark.

      Returns:
      false.
    • read

      public int read(byte[] buf, int offset, int numToRead) throws IOException
      Reads bytes from the current tar archive entry.

      This method is aware of the boundaries of the current entry in the archive and will deal with them as if they were this stream's start and EOF.

      Overrides:
      read in class FilterInputStream
      Parameters:
      buf - The buffer into which to place bytes read.
      offset - The offset at which to place bytes read.
      numToRead - The number of bytes to read.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, or -1 at EOF.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • readRecord

      protected byte[] readRecord() throws IOException
      Read a record from the input stream and return the data.
      Returns:
      The record data or null if EOF has been hit.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • reset

      public void reset()
      Since we do not support marking just yet, we do nothing.
      Overrides:
      reset in class ArchiveInputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
    • setAtEOF

      protected final void setAtEOF(boolean atEof)
    • setCurrentEntry

      protected final void setCurrentEntry(TarArchiveEntry currEntry)
    • skip

      public long skip(long n) throws IOException
      Skips over and discards n bytes of data from this input stream. The skip method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly 0. This may result from any of a number of conditions; reaching end of file or end of entry before n bytes have been skipped; are only two possibilities. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned. If n is negative, no bytes are skipped.
      Overrides:
      skip in class FilterInputStream
      Parameters:
      n - the number of bytes to be skipped.
      Returns:
      the actual number of bytes skipped.
      Throws:
      IOException - if a truncated tar archive is detected or some other I/O error occurs
