ZipEntry Unicode C Reference Documentation

ZipEntry

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Represents a single file or directory entry within a Chilkat Zip object. A zip entry can be one of 5 types (see the description of the EntryType property below).

Create/Dispose

HCkZipEntryW instance = CkZipEntryW_Create();
// ...
CkZipEntryW_Dispose(instance);
HCkZipEntryW CkZipEntryW_Create(void);

Creates an instance of the HCkZipEntryW object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

void CkZipEntryW_Dispose(HCkZipEntryW handle);

Objects created by calling CkZipEntryW_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkZipEntryW_Dispose.

Callback Functions

Callback Functions introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.56
void CkZipEntryW_setAbortCheck(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, BOOL (*fnAbortCheck)(void));

Provides the opportunity for a method call to be aborted. If TRUE is returned, the operation in progress is aborted. Return FALSE to allow the current method call to continue. This callback function is called periodically based on the value of the HeartbeatMs property. (If HeartbeatMs is 0, then no callbacks are made.) As an example, to make 5 AbortCheck callbacks per second, set the HeartbeatMs property equal to 200.

void CkZipEntryW_setPercentDone(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, BOOL (*fnPercentDone)(int pctDone));

Provides the percentage completed for any method that involves network communications or time-consuming processing (assuming it is a method where a percentage completion can be measured). This callback is only called when it is possible to know a percentage completion, and when it makes sense to express the operation as a percentage completed. The pctDone argument will have a value from 1 to 100. For methods that complete very quickly, the number of PercentDone callbacks will vary, but the final callback should have a value of 100. For long running operations, no more than one callback per percentage point will occur (for example: 1, 2, 3, ... 98, 99, 100).

This callback counts as an AbortCheck callback, and takes the place of the AbortCheck event when it fires.

The return value indicates whether the method call should be aborted, or whether it should proceed. Return TRUE to abort, and FALSE to proceed.

void CkZipEntryW_setProgressInfo(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, void (*fnProgressInfo)(const wchar_t *name, const wchar_t *value));

This is a general callback that provides name/value information about what is happening at certain points during a method call. To see the information provided in ProgressInfo callbacks, if any, write code to handle this event and log the name/value pairs. Most are self-explanatory.

void CkZipEntryW_setTaskCompleted(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, void (*fnTaskCompleted)(HCkTaskW hTask));

Called in the background thread when an asynchronous task completes. (Note: When an async method is running, all callbacks are in the background thread.)

Properties

Comment
void CkZipEntryW_getComment(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkZipEntryW_putComment(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_comment(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The comment stored within the Zip for this entry.

top
CompressedLength
unsigned long CkZipEntryW_getCompressedLength(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The size in bytes of this entry's file data when compression is applied

top
CompressedLength64
__int64 CkZipEntryW_getCompressedLength64(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The size in bytes of this entry's file data when compression is applied

top
CompressedLengthStr
void CkZipEntryW_getCompressedLengthStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_compressedLengthStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The size in decimal string format of this file when Zip compression is applied.

top
CompressionLevel
int CkZipEntryW_getCompressionLevel(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
void CkZipEntryW_putCompressionLevel(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, int newVal);

The compression level. 0 = no compression, while 9 = maximum compression. The default is 6.

top
CompressionMethod
int CkZipEntryW_getCompressionMethod(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
void CkZipEntryW_putCompressionMethod(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, int newVal);

Set to 0 for no compression, or 8 for the Deflate algorithm. The Deflate algorithm is the default algorithm of the most popular Zip utility programs, such as WinZip

top
Crc
int CkZipEntryW_getCrc(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The CRC for the zip entry. For AES encrypted entries, the CRC value will be 0. (See http://www.winzip.com/aes_info.htm#CRC )

top
DebugLogFilePath
void CkZipEntryW_getDebugLogFilePath(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkZipEntryW_putDebugLogFilePath(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_debugLogFilePath(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
EncryptionKeyLen
int CkZipEntryW_getEncryptionKeyLen(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.69

If this entry is AES encrypted, then this property contains the AES key length (128, 192, or 256). If the entry is not AES encrypted, then the value is 0.

top
EntryID
int CkZipEntryW_getEntryID(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

A unique ID assigned to the entry while the object is instantiated in memory.

top
EntryType
int CkZipEntryW_getEntryType(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

Indicates the origin of the entry. There are three possible values:

  1. Mapped Entry: An entry in an existing Zip file.
  2. File Entry: A file not yet in memory, but referenced. These entries are added by calling AppendFiles, AppendFilesEx, AppendOneFileOrDir, etc.
  3. Data Entry: An entry containing uncompressed data from memory. These entries are added by calling AppendData, AppendString, etc.
  4. Null Entry: An entry that no longer exists in the .zip.
  5. New Directory Entry: A directory entry added by calling AppendNewDir.
When the zip is written by calling WriteZip or WriteToMemory, all of the zip entries are transformed into mapped entries. They become entries that contain the compressed data within the .zip that was just created. (The WriteZip method call effectively writes the zip and then opens it, replacing all of the existing entries with mapped entries.)

top
FileDateTimeStr
void CkZipEntryW_getFileDateTimeStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkZipEntryW_putFileDateTimeStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_fileDateTimeStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

void CkZipEntryW_getFileName(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkZipEntryW_putFileName(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_fileName(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The file name of the Zip entry.

top
FileNameHex
void CkZipEntryW_getFileNameHex(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_fileNameHex(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

A string containing the hex encoded raw filename bytes found in the Zip entry.

top
HeartbeatMs
int CkZipEntryW_getHeartbeatMs(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
void CkZipEntryW_putHeartbeatMs(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, int newVal);

The number of milliseconds between each AbortCheck event callback. The AbortCheck callback allows an application to abort inflate/extract/unzip calls prior to completion. If HeartbeatMs is 0 (the default), no AbortCheck event callbacks will fire.

top
IsAesEncrypted
BOOL CkZipEntryW_getIsAesEncrypted(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.69

TRUE if the entry is AES encrypted. This property can only be TRUE for entries already contained in a .zip (i.e. entries obtained from a zip archive that was opened via OpenZip, OpenBd, OpenFromMemory, etc.) The property is FALSE if the entry contained in the zip is not AES encrypted.

top
IsDirectory
BOOL CkZipEntryW_getIsDirectory(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

True if the Zip entry is a directory, false if it is a file.

top
LastErrorHtml
void CkZipEntryW_getLastErrorHtml(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_lastErrorHtml(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
void CkZipEntryW_getLastErrorText(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_lastErrorText(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
void CkZipEntryW_getLastErrorXml(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_lastErrorXml(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
BOOL CkZipEntryW_getLastMethodSuccess(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
void CkZipEntryW_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
TextFlag
BOOL CkZipEntryW_getTextFlag(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
void CkZipEntryW_putTextFlag(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Controls whether the "text flag" of the internal file attributes for this entry within the zip is set. This is a bit flag that indicates whether the file contents are text or binary. It is for informational use and it is not imperative that this bit flag is accurately set. The ability to set this bit flag is only provided to satisfy certain cases where another application might be sensitive to the flag.

top
UncompressedLength
unsigned long CkZipEntryW_getUncompressedLength(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The size in bytes of this entry's file data when uncompressed.

top
UncompressedLength64
__int64 CkZipEntryW_getUncompressedLength64(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The size in bytes of this entry's file data when uncompressed.

top
UncompressedLengthStr
void CkZipEntryW_getUncompressedLengthStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_uncompressedLengthStr(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

The size in bytes (in decimal string format) of this zip entry's data when uncompressed.

top
VerboseLogging
BOOL CkZipEntryW_getVerboseLogging(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);
void CkZipEntryW_putVerboseLogging(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If set to TRUE, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is FALSE. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
void CkZipEntryW_getVersion(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_version(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"

top
Copy
BOOL CkZipEntryW_Copy(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, const unsigned char * outData);

Returns the compressed data as a byte array.

Note: The Copy method can only be called if the zip entry already contains compressed data (i.e. it is a "mapped entry"). This is the case when an existing .zip is opened (from memory or from a file), or after the .zip has been written (by calling WriteZip or WriteToMemory). If a zip entry is created via AppendData, AppendFiles, etc., then it does not yet contain compressed data. When the zip is written, each entry becomes a "mapped entry" (The value of the EntryType property becomes 0.)

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
CopyToBase64

const wchar_t *CkZipEntryW_copyToBase64(HCkZipEntryW cHandle);

Returns the compressed data as a Base64-encoded string. It is only possible to retrieve the compressed data from a pre-existing .zip that has been opened or after writing the .zip but not closing it.

Note: The CopyToBase64 method can only be called if the zip entry already contains compressed data (i.e. it is a "mapped entry").

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
CopyToHex

Note: The CopyToBase64 method can only be called if the zip entry already contains compressed data (i.e. it is a "mapped entry").

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
Extract
BOOL CkZipEntryW_Extract(HCkZipEntryW cHandle, const wchar_t *dirPath);
