It provides class methods for quick and easy files handling while also allowing for the creation of tar file objects for custom manipulation. If you have the IO::Zlib module installed, Archive::Tar will also support compressed or gzipped tar files. An object of class Archive::Tar represents a .tar(.gz) archive full of files and things. =head1 Object Methods =head2 Archive::Tar->new( [$file, $compressed] ) Returns a new Tar object. If given any arguments, C<new()> calls the C<read()> method automatically, passing on the arguments provided to the C<read()> method. If C<new()> is invoked with arguments and the C<read()> method fails for any reason, C<new()> returns undef. =cut my $tmpl = { _data => [ ], _file => 'Unknown', }; ### install get/set accessors for this object. for my $key ( keys %$tmpl ) { no strict 'refs'; *{__PACKAGE__."::$key"} = sub { my $self = shift; $self->{$key} = $_[0] if @_; return $self->{$key}; } } sub new { my $class = shift; $class = ref $class if ref $class; ### copying $tmpl here since a shallow copy makes it use the ### same aref, causing for files to remain in memory always. my $obj = bless { _data => [ ], _file => 'Unknown', _error => '' }, $class; if (@_) { unless ( $obj->read( @_ ) ) { $obj->_error(qq[No data could be read from file]); return; } } return $obj; } =head2 $tar->read ( $filename|$handle, [$compressed, {opt => 'val'}] ) Read the given tar file into memory. The first argument can either be the name of a file or a reference to an already open filehandle (or an IO::Zlib object if it's compressed) The C<read> will I<replace> any previous content in C<$tar>! The second argument may be considered optional, but remains for backwards compatibility. Archive::Tar now looks at the file magic to determine what class should be used to open the file and will transparently Do The Right Thing. Archive::Tar will warn if you try to pass a bzip2 compressed file and the IO::Zlib / IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 modules are not available and simply return. Note that you can currently B<not> pass a C<gzip> compressed filehandle, which is not opened with C<IO::Zlib>, a C<bzip2> compressed filehandle, which is not opened with C<IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2>, nor a string containing the full archive information (either compressed or uncompressed). These are worth while features, but not currently implemented. See the C<TODO> section. The third argument can be a hash reference with options. Note that all options are case-sensitive. =over 4 =item limit Do not read more than C<limit> files. This is useful if you have very big archives, and are only interested in the first few files. =item filter Can be set to a regular expression. Only files with names that match the expression will be read. =item md5 Set to 1 and the md5sum of files will be returned (instead of file data) my $iter = Archive::Tar->iter( $file, 1, {md5 => 1} ); while( my $f = $iter->() ) { print $f->data . "\t" . $f->full_path . $/; } =item extract If set to true, immediately extract entries when reading them. This gives you the same memory break as the C<extract_archive> function. Note however that entries will not be read into memory, but written straight to disk. This means no C<Archive::Tar::File> objects are created for you to inspect. =back All files are stored internally as C<Archive::Tar::File> objects. Please consult the L<Archive::Tar::File> documentation for details. Returns the number of files read in scalar context, and a list of C<Archive::Tar::File> objects in list context. =cut sub read { my $self = shift; my $file = shift; my $gzip = shift || 0; my $opts = shift || {}; unless( defined $file ) { $self->_error( qq[No file to read from!] ); return; } else { $self->_file( $file ); } my $handle = $self->_get_handle($file, $gzip, READ_ONLY->( ZLIB ) ) or return; my $data = $self->_read_tar( $handle, $opts ) or return; $self->_data( $data ); return wantarray ? @$data : scalar @$data; } sub _get_handle { my $self = shift; my $file = shift; return unless defined $file; my $compress = shift || 0; my $mode = shift || READ_ONLY->( ZLIB ); # default to read only ### Check if file is a file handle or IO glob if ( ref $file ) { return $file if eval{ *$file{IO} }; return $file if eval{ $file->isa(q{IO::Handle}) }; $file = q{}.$file; } ### get a FH opened to the right class, so we can use it transparently ### throughout the program my $fh; { ### reading magic only makes sense if we're opening a file for ### reading. otherwise, just use what the user requested. my $magic = ''; if( MODE_READ->($mode) ) { open my $tmp, $file or do { $self->_error( qq[Could not open '$file' for reading: $!] ); return; }; ### read the first 4 bites of the file to figure out which class to ### use to open the file. sysread( $tmp, $magic, 4 ); close $tmp; } ### is it bzip? ### if you asked specifically for bzip compression, or if we're in ### read mode and the magic numbers add up, use bzip if( BZIP and ( ($compress eq COMPRESS_BZIP) or ( MODE_READ->($mode) and $magic =~ BZIP_MAGIC_NUM ) ) ) { ### different reader/writer modules, different error vars... sigh if( MODE_READ->($mode) ) { $fh = IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2->new( $file ) or do { $self->_error( qq[Could not read '$file': ] . $IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2::Bunzip2Error ); return; }; } else { $fh = IO::Compress::Bzip2->new( $file ) or do { $self->_error( qq[Could not write to '$file': ] . $IO::Compress::Bzip2::Bzip2Error ); return; }; } ### is it gzip? ### if you asked for compression, if you wanted to read or the gzip ### magic number is present (redundant with read) } elsif( ZLIB and ( $compress or MODE_READ->($mode) or $magic =~ GZIP_MAGIC_NUM ) ) { $fh = IO::Zlib->new; unless( $fh->open( $file, $mode ) ) { $self->_error(qq[Could not create filehandle for '$file': $!]); return; } ### is it plain tar? } else { $fh = IO::File->new; unless( $fh->open( $file, $mode ) ) { $self->_error(qq[Could not create filehandle for '$file': $!]); return; } ### enable bin mode on tar archives binmode $fh; } } return $fh; } sub _read_tar { my $self = shift; my $handle = shift or return; my $opts = shift || {}; my $count = $opts->{limit} || 0; my $filter = $opts->{filter}; my $md5 = $opts->{md5} || 0; # cdrake my $filter_cb = $opts->{filter_cb}; my $extract = $opts->{extract} || 0; ### set a cap on the amount of files to extract ### my $limit = 0; $limit = 1 if $count > 0; my $tarfile = [ ]; my $chunk; my $read = 0; my $real_name; # to set the name of a file when # we're encountering @longlink my $data; LOOP: while( $handle->read( $chunk, HEAD ) ) { ### IO::Zlib doesn't support this yet my $offset; if ( ref($handle) ne 'IO::Zlib' ) { local $@; $offset = eval { tell $handle } || 'unknown'; $@ = ''; } else { $offset = 'unknown'; } unless( $read++ ) { my $gzip = GZIP_MAGIC_NUM; if( $chunk =~ /$gzip/ ) { $self->_error( qq[Cannot read compressed format in tar-mode] ); return; } ### size is < HEAD, which means a corrupted file, as the minimum ### length is _at least_ HEAD if (length $chunk != HEAD) { $self->_error( qq[Cannot read enough bytes from the tarfile] ); return; } } ### if we can't read in all bytes... ### last if length $chunk != HEAD; ### Apparently this should really be two blocks of 512 zeroes, ### but GNU tar sometimes gets it wrong.

This might not work too well under VMS. Under MacPerl, the file's modification time will be converted to the MacOS zero of time, and appropriate conversions will be done to the path. However, the length of each element of the path is not inspected to see whether it's longer than MacOS currently allows (32 characters). If C<extract> is called without a list of file names, the entire contents of the archive are extracted. Returns a list of filenames extracted. =cut sub extract { my $self = shift; my @args = @_; my @files; # use the speed optimization for all extracted files local($self->{cwd}) = cwd() unless $self->{cwd}; ### you requested the extraction of only certain files if( @args ) { for my $file ( @args ) { ### it's already an object? if( UNIVERSAL::isa( $file, 'Archive::Tar::File' ) ) { push @files, $file; next; ### go find it then } else { my $found; for my $entry ( @{$self->_data} ) { next unless $file eq $entry->full_path; ### we found the file you're looking for push @files, $entry; $found++; } unless( $found ) { return $self->_error( qq[Could not find '$file' in archive] ); } } } ### just grab all the file items } else { @files = $self->get_files; } ### nothing found? that's an error unless( scalar @files ) { $self->_error( qq[No files found for ] . $self->_file ); return; } ### now extract them for my $entry ( @files ) { unless( $self->_extract_file( $entry ) ) { $self->_error(q[Could not extract ']. $entry->full_path .q['] ); return; } } return @files; } =head2 $tar->extract_file( $file, [$extract_path] ) Write an entry, whose name is equivalent to the file name provided to disk. Optionally takes a second parameter, which is the full native path (including filename) the entry will be written to. For example: $tar->extract_file( 'name/in/archive', 'name/i/want/to/give/it' ); $tar->extract_file( $at_file_object, 'name/i/want/to/give/it' ); Returns true on success, false on failure. =cut sub extract_file { my $self = shift; my $file = shift; return unless defined $file; my $alt = shift; my $entry = $self->_find_entry( $file ) or $self->_error( qq[Could not find an entry for '$file'] ), return; return $self->_extract_file( $entry, $alt ); } sub _extract_file { my $self = shift; my $entry = shift or return; my $alt = shift; ### you wanted an alternate extraction location ### my $name = defined $alt ? $alt : $entry->full_path; ### splitpath takes a bool at the end to indicate ### that it's splitting a dir my ($vol,$dirs,$file); if ( defined $alt ) { # It's a local-OS path ($vol,$dirs,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $alt, $entry->is_dir ); } else { ($vol,$dirs,$file) = File::Spec::Unix->splitpath( $name, $entry->is_dir ); } my $dir; ### is $name an absolute path? ### if( $vol || File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute( $dirs ) ) { ### absolute names are not allowed to be in tarballs under ### strict mode, so only allow it if a user tells us to do it if( not defined $alt and not $INSECURE_EXTRACT_MODE ) { $self->_error( q[Entry ']. $entry->full_path .q[' is an absolute path. ]. q[Not extracting absolute paths under SECURE EXTRACT MODE] ); return; } ### user asked us to, it's fine. $dir = File::Spec->catpath( $vol, $dirs, "" ); ### it's a relative path ### } else { my $cwd = (ref $self and defined $self->{cwd}) ? $self->{cwd} : cwd(); my @dirs = defined $alt ?

The following list of properties is supported: name, size, mtime (last modified date), mode, uid, gid, linkname, uname, gname, devmajor, devminor, prefix.

The first argument can either be the name of a file or a reference to an already open filehandle (a GLOB reference). The second argument is used to indicate compression. You can either compress using C<gzip> or C<bzip2>. If you pass a digit, it's assumed to be the C<gzip> compression level (between 1 and 9), but the use of constants is preferred: # write a gzip compressed file $tar->write( 'out.tgz', COMPRESS_GZIP ); # write a bzip compressed file $tar->write( 'out.tbz', COMPRESS_BZIP ); Note that when you pass in a filehandle, the compression argument is ignored, as all files are printed verbatim to your filehandle. If you wish to enable compression with filehandles, use an C<IO::Zlib> or C<IO::Compress::Bzip2> filehandle instead. The third argument is an optional prefix. All files will be tucked away in the directory you specify as prefix. So if you have files 'a' and 'b' in your archive, and you specify 'foo' as prefix, they will be written to the archive as 'foo/a' and 'foo/b'. If no arguments are given, C<write> returns the entire formatted archive as a string, which could be useful if you'd like to stuff the archive into a socket or a pipe to gzip or something. =cut sub write { my $self = shift; my $file = shift; $file = '' unless defined $file; my $gzip = shift || 0; my $ext_prefix = shift; $ext_prefix = '' unless defined $ext_prefix; my $dummy = ''; ### only need a handle if we have a file to print to ### my $handle = length($file) ?

"%06o\0" : "%06o\0"; substr($tar,148,7) = sprintf("%6o\0", unpack("%16C*",$tar)); return $tar; } =head2 $tar->add_files( @filenamelist ) Takes a list of filenames and adds them to the in-memory archive. The path to the file is automatically converted to a Unix like equivalent for use in the archive, and, if on MacOS, the file's modification time is converted from the MacOS epoch to the Unix epoch. So tar archives created on MacOS with B<Archive::Tar> can be read both with I<tar> on Unix and applications like I<suntar> or I<Stuffit Expander> on MacOS. Be aware that the file's type/creator and resource fork will be lost, which is usually what you want in cross-platform archives. Instead of a filename, you can also pass it an existing C<Archive::Tar::File> object from, for example, another archive. The object will be clone, and effectively be a copy of the original, not an alias. Returns a list of C<Archive::Tar::File> objects that were just added. =cut sub add_files { my $self = shift; my @files = @_ or return; my @rv; for my $file ( @files ) { ### you passed an Archive::Tar::File object ### clone it so we don't accidentally have a reference to ### an object from another archive if( UNIVERSAL::isa( $file,'Archive::Tar::File' ) ) { push @rv, $file->clone; next; } eval { if( utf8::is_utf8( $file )) { utf8::encode( $file ); } }; unless( -e $file || -l $file ) { $self->_error( qq[No such file: '$file'] ); next; } my $obj = Archive::Tar::File->new( file => $file ); unless( $obj ) { $self->_error( qq[Unable to add file: '$file'] ); next; } push @rv, $obj; } push @{$self->{_data}}, @rv; return @rv; } =head2 $tar->add_data ( $filename, $data, [$opthashref] ) Takes a filename, a scalar full of data and optionally a reference to a hash with specific options. Will add a file to the in-memory archive, with name C<$filename> and content C<$data>. Specific properties can be set using C<$opthashref>. The following list of properties is supported: name, size, mtime (last modified date), mode, uid, gid, linkname, uname, gname, devmajor, devminor, prefix, type. (On MacOS, the file's path and modification times are converted to Unix equivalents.) Valid values for the file type are the following constants defined by Archive::Tar::Constant: =over 4 =item FILE Regular file. =item HARDLINK =item SYMLINK Hard and symbolic ("soft") links; linkname should specify target. =item CHARDEV =item BLOCKDEV Character and block devices. devmajor and devminor should specify the major and minor device numbers. =item DIR Directory. =item FIFO FIFO (named pipe). =item SOCKET Socket. =back Returns the C<Archive::Tar::File> object that was just added, or C<undef> on failure. =cut sub add_data { my $self = shift; my ($file, $data, $opt) = @_; my $obj = Archive::Tar::File->new( data => $file, $data, $opt ); unless( $obj ) { $self->_error( qq[Unable to add file: '$file'] ); return; } push @{$self->{_data}}, $obj; return $obj; } =head2 $tar->error( [$BOOL] ) Returns the current error string (usually, the last error reported). If a true value was specified, it will give the C<Carp::longmess> equivalent of the error, in effect giving you a stacktrace. For backwards compatibility, this error is also available as C<$Archive::Tar::error> although it is much recommended you use the method call instead. =cut { $error = ''; my $longmess; sub _error { my $self = shift; my $msg = $error = shift; $longmess = Carp::longmess($error); if (ref $self) { $self->{_error} = $error; $self->{_longmess} = $longmess; } ### set Archive::Tar::WARN to 0 to disable printing ### of errors if( $WARN ) { carp $DEBUG ? $longmess : $msg; } return; } sub error { my $self = shift; if (ref $self) { return shift() ? $self->{_longmess} : $self->{_error}; } else { return shift() ? $longmess : $error; } } } =head2 $tar->setcwd( $cwd ); C<Archive::Tar> needs to know the current directory, and it will run C<Cwd::cwd()> I<every> time it extracts a I<relative> entry from the tarfile and saves it in the file system. (As of version 1.30, however, C<Archive::Tar> will use the speed optimization described below automatically, so it's only relevant if you're using C<extract_file()>). Since C<Archive::Tar> doesn't change the current directory internally while it is extracting the items in a tarball, all calls to C<Cwd::cwd()> can be avoided if we can guarantee that the current directory doesn't get changed externally. To use this performance boost, set the current directory via use Cwd; $tar->setcwd( cwd() ); once before calling a function like C<extract_file> and C<Archive::Tar> will use the current directory setting from then on and won't call C<Cwd::cwd()> internally. To switch back to the default behaviour, use $tar->setcwd( undef ); and C<Archive::Tar> will call C<Cwd::cwd()> internally again. If you're using C<Archive::Tar>'s C<extract()> method, C<setcwd()> will be called for you. =cut sub setcwd { my $self = shift; my $cwd = shift; $self->{cwd} = $cwd; } =head1 Class Methods =head2 Archive::Tar->create_archive($file, $compressed, @filelist) Creates a tar file from the list of files provided. The first argument can either be the name of the tar file to create or a reference to an open file handle (e.g. a GLOB reference). The second argument is used to indicate compression. You can either compress using C<gzip> or C<bzip2>. If you pass a digit, it's assumed to be the C<gzip> compression level (between 1 and 9), but the use of constants is preferred: # write a gzip compressed file Archive::Tar->create_archive( 'out.tgz', COMPRESS_GZIP, @filelist ); # write a bzip compressed file Archive::Tar->create_archive( 'out.tbz', COMPRESS_BZIP, @filelist ); Note that when you pass in a filehandle, the compression argument is ignored, as all files are printed verbatim to your filehandle. If you wish to enable compression with filehandles, use an C<IO::Zlib> or C<IO::Compress::Bzip2> filehandle instead. The remaining arguments list the files to be included in the tar file. These files must all exist. Any files which don't exist or can't be read are silently ignored. If the archive creation fails for any reason, C<create_archive> will return false. Please use the C<error> method to find the cause of the failure. Note that this method does not write C<on the fly> as it were; it still reads all the files into memory before writing out the archive. Consult the FAQ below if this is a problem. =cut sub create_archive { my $class = shift; my $file = shift; return unless defined $file; my $gzip = shift || 0; my @files = @_; unless( @files ) { return $class->_error( qq[Cowardly refusing to create empty archive!] ); } my $tar = $class->new; $tar->add_files( @files ); return $tar->write( $file, $gzip ); } =head2 Archive::Tar->iter( $filename, [ $compressed, {opt => $val} ] ) Returns an iterator function that reads the tar file without loading it all in memory. Each time the function is called it will return the next file in the tarball. The files are returned as C<Archive::Tar::File> objects. The iterator function returns the empty list once it has exhausted the files contained. The second argument can be a hash reference with options, which are identical to the arguments passed to C<read()>. Example usage: my $next = Archive::Tar->iter( "example.tar.gz", 1, {filter => qr/\.pm$/} ); while( my $f = $next->() ) { print $f->name, "\n"; $f->extract or warn "Extraction failed"; # .... } =cut sub iter { my $class = shift; my $filename = shift or return; my $compressed = shift || 0; my $opts = shift || {}; ### get a handle to read from. my $handle = $class->_get_handle( $filename, $compressed, READ_ONLY->( ZLIB ) ) or return; my @data; return sub { return shift(@data) if @data; # more than one file returned? return unless $handle; # handle exhausted? ### read data, should only return file my $tarfile = $class->_read_tar($handle, { %$opts, limit => 1 }); @data = @$tarfile if ref $tarfile && ref $tarfile eq 'ARRAY'; ### return one piece of data return shift(@data) if @data; ### data is exhausted, free the filehandle undef $handle; return; }; } =head2 Archive::Tar->list_archive($file, $compressed, [\@properties]) Returns a list of the names of all the files in the archive. The first argument can either be the name of the tar file to list or a reference to an open file handle (e.g. a GLOB reference). If C<list_archive()> is passed an array reference as its third argument it returns a list of hash references containing the requested properties of each file. The following list of properties is supported: full_path, name, size, mtime (last modified date), mode, uid, gid, linkname, uname, gname, devmajor, devminor, prefix, type. See C<Archive::Tar::File> for details about supported properties. Passing an array reference containing only one element, 'name', is special cased to return a list of names rather than a list of hash references. =cut sub list_archive { my $class = shift; my $file = shift; return unless defined $file; my $gzip = shift || 0; my $tar = $class->new($file, $gzip); return unless $tar; return $tar->list_files( @_ ); } =head2 Archive::Tar->extract_archive($file, $compressed) Extracts the contents of the tar file. The first argument can either be the name of the tar file to create or a reference to an open file handle (e.g. a GLOB reference). All relative paths in the tar file will be created underneath the current working directory. C<extract_archive> will return a list of files it extracted. If the archive extraction fails for any reason, C<extract_archive> will return false. Please use the C<error> method to find the cause of the failure. =cut sub extract_archive { my $class = shift; my $file = shift; return unless defined $file; my $gzip = shift || 0; my $tar = $class->new( ) or return; return $tar->read( $file, $gzip, { extract => 1 } ); } =head2 $bool = Archive::Tar->has_io_string Returns true if we currently have C<IO::String> support loaded. Either C<IO::String> or C<perlio> support is needed to support writing stringified archives. Currently, C<perlio> is the preferred method, if available. See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section to see how to change this preference. =cut sub has_io_string { return $HAS_IO_STRING; } =head2 $bool = Archive::Tar->has_perlio Returns true if we currently have C<perlio> support loaded. This requires C<perl-5.8> or higher, compiled with C<perlio> Either C<IO::String> or C<perlio> support is needed to support writing stringified archives. Currently, C<perlio> is the preferred method, if available.

You can use this as a shortcut to determine whether C<Archive::Tar> will do what you think before passing compressed archives to its C<read> method. =cut sub can_handle_compressed_files { return ZLIB && BZIP ? 1 : 0 } sub no_string_support { croak("You have to install IO::String to support writing archives to strings"); } 1; __END__ =head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES =head2 $Archive::Tar::FOLLOW_SYMLINK Set this variable to C<1> to make C<Archive::Tar> effectively make a copy of the file when extracting. Default is C<0>, which means the symlink stays intact. Of course, you will have to pack the file linked to as well. This option is checked when you write out the tarfile using C<write> or C<create_archive>. This works just like C</bin/tar>'s C<-h> option. =head2 $Archive::Tar::CHOWN By default, C<Archive::Tar> will try to C<chown> your files if it is able to. In some cases, this may not be desired. In that case, set this variable to C<0> to disable C<chown>-ing, even if it were possible. The default is C<1>. =head2 $Archive::Tar::CHMOD By default, C<Archive::Tar> will try to C<chmod> your files to whatever mode was specified for the particular file in the archive. In some cases, this may not be desired. In that case, set this variable to C<0> to disable C<chmod>-ing. The default is C<1>. =head2 $Archive::Tar::SAME_PERMISSIONS When, C<$Archive::Tar::CHMOD> is enabled, this setting controls whether the permissions on files from the archive are used without modification of if they are filtered by removing any setid bits and applying the current umask. The default is C<1> for the root user and C<0> for normal users. =head2 $Archive::Tar::DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX By default, C<Archive::Tar> will try to put paths that are over 100 characters in the C<prefix> field of your tar header, as defined per POSIX-standard. However, some (older) tar programs do not implement this spec. To retain compatibility with these older or non-POSIX compliant versions, you can set the C<$DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX> variable to a true value, and C<Archive::Tar> will use an alternate way of dealing with paths over 100 characters by using the C<GNU Extended Header> feature. Note that clients who do not support the C<GNU Extended Header> feature will not be able to read these archives. Such clients include tars on C<Solaris>, C<Irix> and C<AIX>. The default is C<0>. =head2 $Archive::Tar::DEBUG Set this variable to C<1> to always get the C<Carp::longmess> output of the warnings, instead of the regular C<carp>. This is the same message you would get by doing: $tar->error(1); Defaults to C<0>. =head2 $Archive::Tar::WARN Set this variable to C<0> if you do not want any warnings printed. Personally I recommend against doing this, but people asked for the option. Also, be advised that this is of course not threadsafe. Defaults to C<1>. =head2 $Archive::Tar::error Holds the last reported error. Kept for historical reasons, but its use is very much discouraged. Use the C<error()> method instead: warn $tar->error unless $tar->extract; Note that in older versions of this module, the C<error()> method would return an effectively global value even when called an instance method as above. This has since been fixed, and multiple instances of C<Archive::Tar> now have separate error strings. =head2 $Archive::Tar::INSECURE_EXTRACT_MODE This variable indicates whether C<Archive::Tar> should allow files to be extracted outside their current working directory. Allowing this could have security implications, as a malicious tar archive could alter or replace any file the extracting user has permissions to. Therefor, the default is to not allow insecure extractions. If you trust the archive, or have other reasons to allow the archive to write files outside your current working directory, set this variable to C<true>. Note that this is a backwards incompatible change from version C<1.36> and before. =head2 $Archive::Tar::HAS_PERLIO This variable holds a boolean indicating if we currently have C<perlio> support loaded. This will be enabled for any perl greater than C<5.8> compiled with C<perlio>. If you feel strongly about disabling it, set this variable to C<false>. Note that you will then need C<IO::String> installed to support writing stringified archives. Don't change this variable unless you B<really> know what you're doing. =head2 $Archive::Tar::HAS_IO_STRING This variable holds a boolean indicating if we currently have C<IO::String> support loaded. This will be enabled for any perl that has a loadable C<IO::String> module. If you feel strongly about disabling it, set this variable to C<false>. Note that you will then need C<perlio> support from your perl to be able to write stringified archives. Don't change this variable unless you B<really> know what you're doing. =head2 $Archive::Tar::ZERO_PAD_NUMBERS This variable holds a boolean indicating if we will create zero padded numbers for C<size>, C<mtime> and C<checksum>. The default is C<0>, indicating that we will create space padded numbers. Added for compatibility with C<busybox> implementations. =head1 FAQ =over 4 =item What's the minimum perl version required to run Archive::Tar? You will need perl version 5.005_03 or newer. =item Isn't Archive::Tar slow? Yes it is. It's pure perl, so it's a lot slower then your C</bin/tar> However, it's very portable.

Since C<Compress::Zlib> and therefore C<IO::Zlib> doesn't support C<seek> on their filehandles, there is little choice but to read the archive into memory. This is ok if you want to do in-memory manipulation of the archive. If you just want to extract, use the C<extract_archive> class method instead. It will optimize and write to disk immediately. Another option is to use the C<iter> class method to iterate over the files in the tarball without reading them all in memory at once. =item Can you lazy-load data instead? In some cases, yes. You can use the C<iter> class method to iterate over the files in the tarball without reading them all in memory at once. =item How much memory will an X kb tar file need? Probably more than X kb, since it will all be read into memory. If this is a problem, and you don't need to do in memory manipulation of the archive, consider using the C<iter> class method, or C</bin/tar> instead. =item What do you do with unsupported filetypes in an archive? C<Unix> has a few filetypes that aren't supported on other platforms, like C<Win32>. If we encounter a C<hardlink> or C<symlink> we'll just try to make a copy of the original file, rather than throwing an error. This does require you to read the entire archive in to memory first, since otherwise we wouldn't know what data to fill the copy with. (This means that you cannot use the class methods, including C<iter> on archives that have incompatible filetypes and still expect things to work). For other filetypes, like C<chardevs> and C<blockdevs> we'll warn that the extraction of this particular item didn't work. =item I'm using WinZip, or some other non-POSIX client, and files are not being extracted properly! By default, C<Archive::Tar> is in a completely POSIX-compatible mode, which uses the POSIX-specification of C<tar> to store files. For paths greater than 100 characters, this is done using the C<POSIX header prefix>. Non-POSIX-compatible clients may not support this part of the specification, and may only support the C<GNU Extended Header> functionality. To facilitate those clients, you can set the C<$Archive::Tar::DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX> variable to C<true>. See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section for details on this variable. Note that GNU tar earlier than version 1.14 does not cope well with the C<POSIX header prefix>. If you use such a version, consider setting the C<$Archive::Tar::DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX> variable to C<true>. =item How do I extract only files that have property X from an archive? Sometimes, you might not wish to extract a complete archive, just the files that are relevant to you, based on some criteria. You can do this by filtering a list of C<Archive::Tar::File> objects based on your criteria. For example, to extract only files that have the string C<foo> in their title, you would use: $tar->extract( grep { $_->full_path =~ /foo/ } $tar->get_files ); This way, you can filter on any attribute of the files in the archive. Consult the C<Archive::Tar::File> documentation on how to use these objects. =item How do I access .tar.Z files? The C<Archive::Tar> module can optionally use C<Compress::Zlib> (via the C<IO::Zlib> module) to access tar files that have been compressed with C<gzip>. Unfortunately tar files compressed with the Unix C<compress> utility cannot be read by C<Compress::Zlib> and so cannot be directly accesses by C<Archive::Tar>. If the C<uncompress> or C<gunzip> programs are available, you can use one of these workarounds to read C<.tar.Z> files from C<Archive::Tar> Firstly with C<uncompress> use Archive::Tar; open F, "uncompress -c $filename |"; my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(*F); ... and this with C<gunzip> use Archive::Tar; open F, "gunzip -c $filename |"; my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(*F); ... Similarly, if the C<compress> program is available, you can use this to write a C<.tar.Z> file use Archive::Tar; use IO::File; my $fh = new IO::File "| compress -c >$filename"; my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(); ... $tar->write($fh); $fh->close ; =item How do I handle Unicode strings? C<Archive::Tar> uses byte semantics for any files it reads from or writes to disk. This is not a problem if you only deal with files and never look at their content or work solely with byte strings. But if you use Unicode strings with character semantics, some additional steps need to be taken. For example, if you add a Unicode string like # Problem $tar->add_data('file.txt', "Euro: \x{20AC}"); then there will be a problem later when the tarfile gets written out to disk via C<$tar->write()>: Wide character in print at .../Archive/Tar.pm line 1014. The data was added as a Unicode string and when writing it out to disk, the C<:utf8> line discipline wasn't set by C<Archive::Tar>, so Perl tried to convert the string to ISO-8859 and failed. The written file now contains garbage. For this reason, Unicode strings need to be converted to UTF-8-encoded bytestrings before they are handed off to C<add_data()>: use Encode; my $data = "Accented character: \x{20AC}"; $data = encode('utf8', $data); $tar->add_data('file.txt', $data); A opposite problem occurs if you extract a UTF8-encoded file from a tarball. Using C<get_content()> on the C<Archive::Tar::File> object will return its content as a bytestring, not as a Unicode string. If you want it to be a Unicode string (because you want character semantics with operations like regular expression matching), you need to decode the UTF8-encoded content and have Perl convert it into a Unicode string: use Encode; my $data = $tar->get_content(); # Make it a Unicode string $data = decode('utf8', $data); There is no easy way to provide this functionality in C<Archive::Tar>, because a tarball can contain many files, and each of which could be encoded in a different way. =back =head1 CAVEATS The AIX tar does not fill all unused space in the tar archive with 0x00. This sometimes leads to warning messages from C<Archive::Tar>. Invalid header block at offset nnn A fix for that problem is scheduled to be released in the following levels of AIX, all of which should be coming out in the 4th quarter of 2009: AIX 5.3 TL7 SP10 AIX 5.3 TL8 SP8 AIX 5.3 TL9 SP5 AIX 5.3 TL10 SP2 AIX 6.1 TL0 SP11 AIX 6.1 TL1 SP7 AIX 6.1 TL2 SP6 AIX 6.1 TL3 SP3 The IBM APAR number for this problem is IZ50240 (Reported component ID: 5765G0300 / AIX 5.3). It is possible to get an ifix for that problem. If you need an ifix please contact your local IBM AIX support. =head1 TODO =over 4 =item Check if passed in handles are open for read/write Currently I don't know of any portable pure perl way to do this. Suggestions welcome. =item Allow archives to be passed in as string Currently, we only allow opened filehandles or filenames, but not strings. The internals would need some reworking to facilitate stringified archives. =item Facilitate processing an opened filehandle of a compressed archive Currently, we only support this if the filehandle is an IO::Zlib object. Environments, like apache, will present you with an opened filehandle to an uploaded file, which might be a compressed archive. =back =head1 SEE ALSO =over 4 =item The GNU tar specification C<http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html> =item The PAX format specification The specification which tar derives from; C< http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/pax.html> =item A comparison of GNU and POSIX tar standards; C<http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/tar/tar_114.html> =item GNU tar intends to switch to POSIX compatibility GNU Tar authors have expressed their intention to become completely POSIX-compatible; C<http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Formats.html> =item A Comparison between various tar implementations Lists known issues and incompatibilities; C<http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/utils/archivers/star/README.otherbugs> =back =head1 AUTHOR This module by Jos Boumans E<lt>kane@cpan.orgE<gt>.
