Class TarArchiveOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

    public class TarArchiveOutputStream
    extends ArchiveOutputStream
    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.

      • 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.

      • finish

        public void finish()
                    throws java.io.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.
        Specified by:
        finish in class ArchiveOutputStream
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - on error
      • close

        public void close()
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Closes the underlying OutputStream.
        Specified by:
        close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable
        Specified by:
        close in interface java.io.Closeable

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

        public void putArchiveEntry​(ArchiveEntry archiveEntry)
                             throws java.io.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, closeArchiveEntry() MUST be called to ensure that all buffered data is completely written to the output stream.
        Specified by:
        putArchiveEntry in class ArchiveOutputStream
        Parameters:
        archiveEntry - The TarEntry to be written to the archive.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - on error
        java.lang.ClassCastException - if archiveEntry is not an instance of TarArchiveEntry
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the longFileMode equals LONGFILE_ERROR and the file name is too long
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the bigNumberMode equals BIGNUMBER_ERROR and one of the numeric values exceeds the limits of a traditional tar header.
      • closeArchiveEntry

        public void closeArchiveEntry()
                               throws java.io.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.
        Specified by:
        closeArchiveEntry in class ArchiveOutputStream
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - on error
      • write

        public void write​(byte[] wBuf,
                          int wOffset,
                          int numToWrite)
                   throws java.io.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 java.io.OutputStream
        Parameters:
        wBuf - The buffer to write to the archive.
        wOffset - The offset in the buffer from which to get bytes.

                                        throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from class: ArchiveOutputStream
        Create 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
        Parameters:
