Inheritance diagram for wxArchiveEntry:
[legend]

## Detailed Description

This is an abstract base class which serves as a common interface to archive entry classes such as wxZipEntry.

These hold the meta-data (filename, timestamp, etc.), for entries in archive files such as zips and tars.

# About non-seekable streams

This information applies only when reading archives from non-seekable streams. When the stream is seekable GetNextEntry() returns a fully populated wxArchiveEntry. See Archives on Non-Seekable Streams for more information.

For generic programming, when the worst case must be assumed, you can rely on all the fields of wxArchiveEntry being fully populated when wxArchiveInputStream::GetNextEntry() returns, with the following exceptions:

- GetSize(): guaranteed to be available after the entry has been read to Eof(), or CloseEntry() has been called;
- IsReadOnly(): guaranteed to be available after the end of the archive has been reached, i.e. after GetNextEntry() returns NULL and Eof() is true.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ Clone()

wxArchiveEntry* wxArchiveEntry::Clone | ( |  | ) | const

Returns a copy of this entry object.

## ◆ GetDateTime()

virtual wxDateTime wxArchiveEntry::GetDateTime | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Gets the entry's timestamp.

## ◆ GetInternalFormat()

virtual wxPathFormat wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalFormat | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the path format used internally within the archive to store filenames.

## ◆ GetInternalName()

virtual wxString wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalName | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the entry's filename in the internal format used within the archive.

The name can include directory components, i.e. it can be a full path.

The names of directory entries are returned without any trailing path separator. This gives a canonical name that can be used in comparisons.

See also
  Looking Up an Archive Entry by Name

Implemented in wxZipEntry, and wxTarEntry.

## ◆ GetName()

virtual wxString wxArchiveEntry::GetName | ( | wxPathFormat | format = `wxPATH_NATIVE` | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the entry's name, by default in the native format.

The name can include directory components, i.e. it can be a full path.

If this is a directory entry, (i.e. if IsDir() is true) then the returned string is the name with a trailing path separator.

## ◆ GetOffset()

virtual wxFileOffset wxArchiveEntry::GetOffset | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns a numeric value unique to the entry within the archive.

## ◆ GetSize()

virtual wxFileOffset wxArchiveEntry::GetSize | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the size of the entry's data in bytes.

Implemented in wxTarEntry.

## ◆ IsDir()

virtual bool wxArchiveEntry::IsDir | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns true if this is a directory entry.

Directory entries are entries with no data, which are used to store the meta-data of directories. They also make it possible for completely empty directories to be stored.

Note
  The names of entries within an archive can be complete paths, and unarchivers typically create whatever directories are necessary as they restore files, even if the archive contains no explicit directory entries.

## ◆ IsReadOnly()

virtual bool wxArchiveEntry::IsReadOnly | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns true if the entry is a read-only file.

## ◆ SetDateTime()

virtual void wxArchiveEntry::SetDateTime | ( | const wxDateTime & | dt | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the entry's timestamp.

## ◆ SetIsDir()

virtual void wxArchiveEntry::SetIsDir | ( | bool | isDir = `true` | ) |
| pure virtual

Marks this entry as a directory if isDir is true.

See IsDir() for more info.

## ◆ SetIsReadOnly()

virtual void wxArchiveEntry::SetIsReadOnly | ( | bool | isReadOnly = `true` | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets this entry as a read-only file.

## ◆ SetName()

virtual void wxArchiveEntry::SetName | ( | const wxString & | name,
|  | wxPathFormat | format = `wxPATH_NATIVE`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Sets the entry's name.

Setting a name with a trailing path separator sets IsDir().

  GetName()

## ◆ SetNotifier()

void wxArchiveEntry::SetNotifier | ( | wxArchiveNotifier & | notifier | ) |

Sets the notifier (see wxArchiveNotifier) for this entry.

Whenever the wxArchiveInputStream updates this entry, it will then invoke the associated notifier's wxArchiveNotifier::OnEntryUpdated method.

Setting a notifier is not usually necessary. It is used to handle certain cases when modifying an archive in a pipeline (i.e. between non-seekable streams).

## ◆ SetSize()

virtual void wxArchiveEntry::SetSize | ( | wxFileOffset | size | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the size of the entry's data in bytes.

Implemented in wxTarEntry.

## ◆ UnsetNotifier()

virtual void wxArchiveEntry::UnsetNotifier | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Unsets the notifier eventually attached to this entry.

Reimplemented in wxZipEntry.
