zig/lib/std / tar/Writer.zig

Options for writing file/dir/link. If left empty 0o664 is used for file mode and current time for mtime.

const std = @import("std");
const assert = std.debug.assert;
const testing = std.testing;
const Writer = @This();

Options

File system permission mode.


const block_size = @sizeOf(Header);

setRoot()

File system modification time.

/// file mode and current time for mtime.
pub const Options = struct {
    /// File system permission mode.
    mode: u32 = 0,
    /// File system modification time.

};

writeDir()

Sets prefix for all other write* method paths.


underlying_writer: *std.Io.Writer,
prefix: []const u8 = "",
mtime_now: u64 = 0,

WriteFileError

Writes file reading file content from reader. Reads exactly size bytes from reader, or returns error.EndOfStream.


const Error = error{
    WriteFailed,
    OctalOverflow,
    NameTooLong,
};

writeFile()

Writes file using bytes buffer content for size and file content.


/// Sets prefix for all other write* method paths.
pub fn setRoot(w: *Writer, root: []const u8) Error!void {
    if (root.len > 0)
        try w.writeDir(root, .{});

WriteFileStreamError

Writes path in posix header, if don't fit (in name+prefix; 100+155 bytes) writes it in gnu extended header.


    w.prefix = root;

setSize()

Writes gnu extended header: gnu_long_name or gnu_long_link.

}

writeFileBytes()

According to the specification, tar should finish with two zero blocks, but "reasonable system must not assume that such a block exists when reading an archive". Therefore, the Zig standard library recommends to not call this function.


pub fn writeDir(w: *Writer, sub_path: []const u8, options: Options) Error!void {
    try w.writeHeader(.directory, sub_path, "", 0, options);

setSize()

A struct that is exactly 512 bytes and matches tar file format. This is intended to be used for outputting tar files; for parsing there is std.tar.Header.
