Class TarArchiveOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

The TarOutputStream writes a UNIX tar archive as an OutputStream. Methods are provided to put entries, and then write their contents by writing to this stream using write().

tar archives consist of a sequence of records of 512 bytes each that are grouped into blocks. Prior to Apache Commons Compress 1.14 it has been possible to configure a record size different from 512 bytes and arbitrary block sizes. Starting with Compress 1.15 512 is the only valid option for the record size and the block size must be a multiple of 512. Also the default block size changed from 10240 bytes prior to Compress 1.15 to 512 bytes with Compress 1.15.

  • Method Details

    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Closes the underlying OutputStream.
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Overrides:
      close in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • closeArchiveEntry

      public void closeArchiveEntry() throws IOException
      Closes an entry. This method MUST be called for all file entries that contain data. The reason is that we must buffer data written to the stream in order to satisfy the buffer's record based writes. Thus, there may be data fragments still being assembled that must be written to the output stream before this entry is closed and the next entry written.
      Specified by:
      closeArchiveEntry in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • createArchiveEntry

      public TarArchiveEntry createArchiveEntry(File inputFile, String entryName) throws IOException
      Description copied from class: ArchiveOutputStream
      Creates an archive entry using the inputFile and entryName provided.
      Specified by:
      createArchiveEntry in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Parameters:
      inputFile - the file to create the entry from
      entryName - name to use for the entry
      Returns:
      the ArchiveEntry set up with details from the file
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs
    • createArchiveEntry

      public TarArchiveEntry createArchiveEntry(Path inputPath, String entryName, LinkOption... options) throws IOException
      Description copied from class: ArchiveOutputStream
      Creates an archive entry using the inputPath and entryName provided.

      The default implementation calls simply delegates as:

       return createArchiveEntry(inputFile.toFile(), entryName);
       

      Subclasses should override this method.

      Overrides:
      createArchiveEntry in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Parameters:
      inputPath - the file to create the entry from
      entryName - name to use for the entry
      options - options indicating how symbolic links are handled.
      Returns:
      the ArchiveEntry set up with details from the file
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs
    • finish

      public void finish() throws IOException
      Finishes the TAR archive without closing the underlying OutputStream. An archive consists of a series of file entries terminated by an end-of-archive entry, which consists of two 512 blocks of zero bytes. POSIX.1 requires two EOF records, like some other implementations.
      Overrides:
      finish in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • getBytesWritten

      public long getBytesWritten()
      Description copied from class: ArchiveOutputStream
      Gets the current number of bytes written to this stream.
      Overrides:
      getBytesWritten in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Returns:
      the number of written bytes
    • getCount

      @Deprecated public int getCount()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: ArchiveOutputStream
      Gets the current number of bytes written to this stream.
      Overrides:
      getCount in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Returns:
      the number of written bytes
    • getRecordSize

      @Deprecated public int getRecordSize()
      Deprecated.
      Gets the record size being used by this stream's TarBuffer.
      Returns:
      The TarBuffer record size.
    • putArchiveEntry

      public void putArchiveEntry(TarArchiveEntry archiveEntry) throws IOException
      Puts an entry on the output stream. This writes the entry's header record and positions the output stream for writing the contents of the entry. Once this method is called, the stream is ready for calls to write() to write the entry's contents. Once the contents are written, closeArchiveEntry() MUST be called to ensure that all buffered data is completely written to the output stream.
      Specified by:
      putArchiveEntry in class ArchiveOutputStream<TarArchiveEntry>
      Parameters:
      archiveEntry - The TarEntry to be written to the archive.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
      ClassCastException - if archiveEntry is not an instance of TarArchiveEntry
      IllegalArgumentException - if the longFileMode equals LONGFILE_ERROR and the file name is too long
      IllegalArgumentException - if the bigNumberMode equals BIGNUMBER_ERROR and one of the numeric values exceeds the limits of a traditional tar header.
    • setAddPaxHeadersForNonAsciiNames

      public void setAddPaxHeadersForNonAsciiNames(boolean b)
      Sets whether to add a PAX extension header for non-ASCII file names.
      Parameters:
      b - whether to add a PAX extension header for non-ASCII file names.
      Since:
      1.4
    • setBigNumberMode

      public void setBigNumberMode(int bigNumberMode)
      Sets the big number mode. This can be BIGNUMBER_ERROR(0), BIGNUMBER_STAR(1) or BIGNUMBER_POSIX(2). This specifies the treatment of big files (sizes > TarConstants.MAXSIZE) and other numeric values too big to fit into a traditional tar header. Default is BIGNUMBER_ERROR.
      Parameters:
      bigNumberMode - the mode to use
      Since:
      1.4
    • setLongFileMode

      public void setLongFileMode(int longFileMode)
      Sets the long file mode. This can be LONGFILE_ERROR(0), LONGFILE_TRUNCATE(1), LONGFILE_GNU(2) or LONGFILE_POSIX(3). This specifies the treatment of long file names (names >= TarConstants.NAMELEN). Default is LONGFILE_ERROR.
      Parameters:
      longFileMode - the mode to use
    • write

      public void write(byte[] wBuf, int wOffset, int numToWrite) throws IOException
      Writes bytes to the current tar archive entry. This method is aware of the current entry and will throw an exception if you attempt to write bytes past the length specified for the current entry.
      Overrides:
      write in class FilterOutputStream
      Parameters:
      wBuf - The buffer to write to the archive.
      wOffset - The offset in the buffer from which to get bytes.
      numToWrite - The number of bytes to write.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
