Methods

public bool Close();

Closes a RAR archive.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

public bool FastOpen(string filename);

Opens a RAR archive. The filename may include an absolute or relative directory path. This method does not iterate over the entries in the RAR archive. The NumEntries property will remain at 0 after FastOpen is called.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

public RarEntry GetEntryByIndex(int index);

Returns a RarEntry object for the Nth entry in the RAR archive. The archive must have first been opened by calling Open (not FastOpen). Returns null if the index is out of range. The 1st entry is at index 0.

public RarEntry GetEntryByName(string filename);

Returns a RarEntry object by filename. The RAR archive must have first been opened by calling Open (not FastOpen). Returns null if the entry was not found.

public bool Open(string filename);

Opens a RAR archive. The filename may include an absolute or relative directory path. This method iterates over the files and directories.

Returns true for success, false for failure.
