Class TarOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

public class TarOutputStream extends FilterOutputStream
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().

  • Method Details

    • setLongFileMode

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

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

      public void setAddPaxHeadersForNonAsciiNames(boolean b)
      Whether to add a PAX extension header for non-ASCII file names.
      Parameters:
      b - boolean
    • setDebug

      public void setDebug(boolean debugF)
      Sets the debugging flag.
      Parameters:
      debugF - True to turn on debugging.
    • setBufferDebug

      public void setBufferDebug(boolean debug)
      Sets the debugging flag in this stream's TarBuffer.
      Parameters:
      debug - True to turn on debugging.
    • finish

      public void finish() throws IOException
      Ends 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.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Ends the TAR archive and closes the underlying OutputStream. This means that finish() is called followed by calling the TarBuffer's close().
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Overrides:
      close in class FilterOutputStream
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • getRecordSize

      public int getRecordSize()
      Get the record size being used by this stream's TarBuffer.
      Returns:
      The TarBuffer record size.
    • putNextEntry

      public void putNextEntry(TarEntry entry) throws IOException
      Put 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, closeEntry() MUST be called to ensure that all buffered data is completely written to the output stream.
      Parameters:
      entry - The TarEntry to be written to the archive.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • closeEntry

      public void closeEntry() throws IOException
      Close 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.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • write

      public void write(int b) throws IOException
      Writes a byte to the current tar archive entry. This method simply calls read(byte[], int, int).
      Overrides:
      write in class FilterOutputStream
      Parameters:
      b - The byte written.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • write

      public void write(byte[] wBuf) throws IOException
      Writes bytes to the current tar archive entry. This method simply calls write(byte[], int, int).
      Overrides:
      write in class FilterOutputStream
      Parameters:
      wBuf - The buffer to write to the archive.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error
    • 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. The method is also (painfully) aware of the record buffering required by TarBuffer, and manages buffers that are not a multiple of recordsize in length, including assembling records from small buffers.
      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
