DESCRIPTION
This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing zip
compressed data to files or buffer.
The primary purpose of this module is to provide streaming write access
to zip files and buffers. It is not a general-purpose file archiver. If
that is what you want, check out "Archive::Zip".
At present three compression methods are supported by
IO::Compress::Zip, namely Store (no compression at all), Deflate, Bzip2
and LZMA.
Note that to create Bzip2 content, the module "IO::Compress::Bzip2"
must be installed.
Note that to create LZMA content, the module "IO::Compress::Lzma" must
be installed.
For reading zip files/buffers, see the companion module
IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
Functional Interface
A top-level function, "zip", is provided to carry out "one-shot"
compression between buffers and/or files. For finer control over the
compression process, see the "OO Interface" section.
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError) ;
zip $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [,OPTS]
or die "zip failed: $ZipError\n";
The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.
zip $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, OPTS]
"zip" expects at least two parameters, $input_filename_or_reference and
$output_filename_or_reference.
The $input_filename_or_reference parameter
The parameter, $input_filename_or_reference, is used to define the
source of the uncompressed data.
It can take one of the following forms:
A filename
If the <$input_filename_or_reference> parameter is a simple
scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened
for reading and the input data will be read from it.
A filehandle
If the $input_filename_or_reference parameter is a filehandle, the
input data will be read from it. The string '-' can be used as an
alias for standard input.
A scalar reference
If $input_filename_or_reference is a scalar reference, the input
data will be read from $$input_filename_or_reference.
An array reference
If $input_filename_or_reference is an array reference, each
element in the array must be a filename.
The input data will be read from each file in turn.
The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only contains
valid filenames before any data is compressed.
An Input FileGlob string
If $input_filename_or_reference is a string that is delimited by
the characters "<" and ">" "zip" will assume that it is an input
fileglob string. The input is the list of files that match the
fileglob.
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
If the $input_filename_or_reference parameter is any other type,
"undef" will be returned.
In addition, if $input_filename_or_reference is a simple filename, the
default values for the "Name", "Time", "TextFlag", "ExtAttr", "exUnixN"
and "exTime" options will be sourced from that file.
If you do not want to use these defaults they can be overridden by
explicitly setting the "Name", "Time", "TextFlag", "ExtAttr", "exUnixN"
and "exTime" options or by setting the "Minimal" parameter.
The $output_filename_or_reference parameter
The parameter $output_filename_or_reference is used to control the
destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
these forms.
A filename
If the $output_filename_or_reference parameter is a simple scalar,
it is assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for
writing and the compressed data will be written to it.
A filehandle
If the $output_filename_or_reference parameter is a filehandle,
the compressed data will be written to it. The string '-' can be
used as an alias for standard output.
A scalar reference
If $output_filename_or_reference is a scalar reference, the
compressed data will be stored in $$output_filename_or_reference.
An Array Reference
If $output_filename_or_reference is an array reference, the
compressed data will be pushed onto the array.
An Output FileGlob
If $output_filename_or_reference is a string that is delimited by
the characters "<" and ">" "zip" will assume that it is an output
fileglob string. The output is the list of files that match the
fileglob.
When $output_filename_or_reference is an fileglob string,
$input_filename_or_reference must also be a fileglob string.
Anything else is an error.
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
If the $output_filename_or_reference parameter is any other type,
"undef" will be returned.
Notes
When $input_filename_or_reference maps to multiple files/buffers and
$output_filename_or_reference is a single file/buffer the input
files/buffers will each be stored in $output_filename_or_reference as a
distinct entry.
Optional Parameters
Unless specified below, the optional parameters for "zip", "OPTS", are
the same as those used with the OO interface defined in the
"Constructor Options" section below.
"AutoClose => 0|1"
This option applies to any input or output data streams to "zip"
that are filehandles.
If "AutoClose" is specified, and the value is true, it will result
in all input and/or output filehandles being closed once "zip" has
completed.
This parameter defaults to 0.
"BinModeIn => 0|1"
When reading from a file or filehandle, set "binmode" before
reading.
Defaults to 0.
"Append => 0|1"
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output
data stream.
o A Buffer
If "Append" is enabled, all compressed data will be append to
the end of the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer
will be cleared before any compressed data is written to it.
o A Filename
If "Append" is enabled, the file will be opened in append
mode. Otherwise the contents of the file, if any, will be
truncated before any compressed data is written to it.
o A Filehandle
If "Append" is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to
the end of the file via a call to "seek" before any
compressed data is written to it. Otherwise the file pointer
will not be moved.
When "Append" is specified, and set to true, it will append all
compressed data to the output data stream.
So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the
eof before writing any compressed data. If the output is a
filename, it will be opened for appending. If the output is a
buffer, all compressed data will be appended to the existing
buffer.
Conversely when "Append" is not specified, or it is present and is
set to false, it will operate as follows.
When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of
the file before writing any compressed data. If the output is a
filehandle its position will not be changed. If the output is a
buffer, it will be wiped before any compressed data is output.
Defaults to 0.
Examples
To read the contents of the file "file1.txt" and write the compressed
data to the file "file1.txt.zip".
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError) ;
my $input = "file1.txt";
zip $input => "$input.zip"
or die "zip failed: $ZipError\n";
To read from an existing Perl filehandle, $input, and write the
compressed data to a buffer, $buffer.
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError) ;
use IO::File ;
my $input = new IO::File "<file1.txt"
or die "Cannot open 'file1.txt': $!\n" ;
my $buffer ;
zip $input => \$buffer
or die "zip failed: $ZipError\n";
To create a zip file, "output.zip", that contains the compressed
contents of the files "alpha.txt" and "beta.txt"
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError) ;
zip [ 'alpha.txt', 'beta.txt' ] => 'output.zip'
or die "zip failed: $ZipError\n";
Alternatively, rather than having to explicitly name each of the files
that you want to compress, you could use a fileglob to select all the
"txt" files in the current directory, as follows
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError) ;
my @files = <*.txt>;
zip \@files => 'output.zip'
or die "zip failed: $ZipError\n";
or more succinctly
zip [ <*.txt> ] => 'output.zip'
or die "zip failed: $ZipError\n";
OO Interface
Constructor
The format of the constructor for "IO::Compress::Zip" is shown below
my $z = new IO::Compress::Zip $output [,OPTS]
or die "IO::Compress::Zip failed: $ZipError\n";
It returns an "IO::Compress::Zip" object on success and undef on
failure. The variable $ZipError will contain an error message on
failure.
If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, $z, returned from
IO::Compress::Zip can be used exactly like an IO::File filehandle.
This means that all normal output file operations can be carried out
with $z. For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer you can use
either of these forms
$z->print("hello world\n");
print $z "hello world\n";
The mandatory parameter $output is used to control the destination of
the compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
A filename
If the $output parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
filename. This file will be opened for writing and the compressed
data will be written to it.
A filehandle
If the $output parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will
be written to it. The string '-' can be used as an alias for
standard output.
A scalar reference
If $output is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be
stored in $$output.
If the $output parameter is any other type, "IO::Compress::Zip"::new
will return undef.
Constructor Options
"OPTS" is any combination of the following options:
"AutoClose => 0|1"
This option is only valid when the $output parameter is a
filehandle. If specified, and the value is true, it will result in
the $output being closed once either the "close" method is called
or the "IO::Compress::Zip" object is destroyed.
This parameter defaults to 0.
"Append => 0|1"
Opens $output in append mode.
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of $output.
o A Buffer
If $output is a buffer and "Append" is enabled, all
compressed data will be append to the end of $output.
Otherwise $output will be cleared before any data is written
to it.
o A Filename
If $output is a filename and "Append" is enabled, the file
will be opened in append mode. Otherwise the contents of the
file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed data is
written to it.
o A Filehandle
If $output is a filehandle, the file pointer will be
positioned to the end of the file via a call to "seek" before
any compressed data is written to it. Otherwise the file
pointer will not be moved.
This parameter defaults to 0.
"Name => $string"
Stores the contents of $string in the zip filename header field.
If "Name" is not specified and the $input parameter is a filename,
the value of $input will be used for the zip filename header
field.
If "Name" is not specified and the $input parameter is not a
filename, no zip filename field will be created.
Note that both the "CanonicalName" and "FilterName" options can
modify the value used for the zip filename header field.
"CanonicalName => 0|1"
This option controls whether the filename field in the zip header
is normalized into Unix format before being written to the zip
file.
It is recommended that you enable this option unless you really
need to create a non-standard Zip file.
This is what APPNOTE.TXT has to say on what should be stored in
the zip filename header field.
The name of the file, with optional relative path.
The path stored should not contain a drive or
device letter, or a leading slash. All slashes
should be forward slashes '/' as opposed to
backwards slashes '\' for compatibility with Amiga
and UNIX file systems etc.
This option defaults to false.
"FilterName => sub { ... }"
This option allow the filename field in the zip header to be
modified before it is written to the zip file.
This option takes a parameter that must be a reference to a sub.
On entry to the sub the $_ variable will contain the name to be
filtered. If no filename is available $_ will contain an empty
string.
The value of $_ when the sub returns will be stored in the
filename header field.
Note that if "CanonicalName" is enabled, a normalized filename
will be passed to the sub.
If you use "FilterName" to modify the filename, it is your
responsibility to keep the filename in Unix format.
Although this option can be used with the OO interface, it is of
most use with the one-shot interface. For example, the code below
shows how "FilterName" can be used to remove the path component
from a series of filenames before they are stored in $zipfile.
sub compressTxtFiles
{
my $zipfile = shift ;
my $dir = shift ;
zip [ <$dir/*.txt> ] => $zipfile,
FilterName => sub { s[^$dir/][] } ;
}
"Time => $number"
Sets the last modified time field in the zip header to $number.
This field defaults to the time the "IO::Compress::Zip" object was
created if this option is not specified and the $input parameter
is not a filename.
"ExtAttr => $attr"
This option controls the "external file attributes" field in the
central header of the zip file. This is a 4 byte field.
If you are running a Unix derivative this value defaults to
0100644 << 16
This should allow read/write access to any files that are
extracted from the zip file/buffer`.
For all other systems it defaults to 0.
"exTime => [$atime, $mtime, $ctime]"
This option expects an array reference with exactly three
elements: $atime, "mtime" and $ctime. These correspond to the last
access time, last modification time and creation time
respectively.
It uses these values to set the extended timestamp field (ID is
"UT") in the local zip header using the three values, $atime,
$mtime, $ctime. In addition it sets the extended timestamp field
in the central zip header using $mtime.
If any of the three values is "undef" that time value will not be
used. So, for example, to set only the $mtime you would use this
exTime => [undef, $mtime, undef]
If the "Minimal" option is set to true, this option will be
ignored.
By default no extended time field is created.
"exUnix2 => [$uid, $gid]"
This option expects an array reference with exactly two elements:
$uid and $gid. These values correspond to the numeric User ID
(UID) and Group ID (GID) of the owner of the files respectively.
When the "exUnix2" option is present it will trigger the creation
of a Unix2 extra field (ID is "Ux") in the local zip header. This
will be populated with $uid and $gid. An empty Unix2 extra field
will also be created in the central zip header.
Note - The UID & GID are stored as 16-bit integers in the "Ux"
field. Use "exUnixN" if your UID or GID are 32-bit.
If the "Minimal" option is set to true, this option will be
ignored.
By default no Unix2 extra field is created.
"exUnixN => [$uid, $gid]"
This option expects an array reference with exactly two elements:
$uid and $gid. These values correspond to the numeric User ID
(UID) and Group ID (GID) of the owner of the files respectively.
When the "exUnixN" option is present it will trigger the creation
of a UnixN extra field (ID is "ux") in both the local and central
zip headers. This will be populated with $uid and $gid. The UID
& GID are stored as 32-bit integers.
If the "Minimal" option is set to true, this option will be
ignored.
By default no UnixN extra field is created.
"Comment => $comment"
Stores the contents of $comment in the Central File Header of the
zip file.
By default, no comment field is written to the zip file.
"ZipComment => $comment"
Stores the contents of $comment in the End of Central Directory
record of the zip file.
By default, no comment field is written to the zip file.
"Method => $method"
Controls which compression method is used. At present four
compression methods are supported, namely Store (no compression at
all), Deflate, Bzip2 and Lzma.
The symbols, ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE, ZIP_CM_BZIP2 and
ZIP_CM_LZMA are used to select the compression method.
These constants are not imported by "IO::Compress::Zip" by
default.
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:zip_method);
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:constants);
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:all);
Note that to create Bzip2 content, the module
"IO::Compress::Bzip2" must be installed. A fatal error will be
thrown if you attempt to create Bzip2 content when
"IO::Compress::Bzip2" is not available.
Note that to create Lzma content, the module "IO::Compress::Lzma"
must be installed. A fatal error will be thrown if you attempt to
create Lzma content when "IO::Compress::Lzma" is not available.
The default method is ZIP_CM_DEFLATE.
"Stream => 0|1"
This option controls whether the zip file/buffer output is created
in streaming mode.
Note that when outputting to a file with streaming mode disabled
("Stream" is 0), the output file must be seekable.
The default is 1.
"Zip64 => 0|1"
Create a Zip64 zip file/buffer. This option is used if you want to
store files larger than 4 Gig or store more than 64K files in a
single zip archive.
"Zip64" will be automatically set, as needed, if working with the
one-shot interface when the input is either a filename or a scalar
reference.
If you intend to manipulate the Zip64 zip files created with this
module using an external zip/unzip, make sure that it supports
Zip64.
In particular, if you are using Info-Zip you need to have zip
version 3.x or better to update a Zip64 archive and unzip version
6.x to read a zip64 archive.
The default is 0.
"TextFlag => 0|1"
This parameter controls the setting of a bit in the zip central
header. It is used to signal that the data stored in the zip
file/buffer is probably text.
In one-shot mode this flag will be set to true if the Perl "-T"
operator thinks the file contains text.
The default is 0.
"ExtraFieldLocal => $data"
"ExtraFieldCentral => $data"
The "ExtraFieldLocal" option is used to store additional metadata
in the local header for the zip file/buffer. The
"ExtraFieldCentral" does the same for the matching central header.
An extra field consists of zero or more subfields. Each subfield
consists of a two byte header followed by the subfield data.
The list of subfields can be supplied in any of the following
formats
ExtraFieldLocal => [$id1, $data1,
$id2, $data2,
...
]
ExtraFieldLocal => [ [$id1 => $data1],
[$id2 => $data2],
...
]
ExtraFieldLocal => { $id1 => $data1,
$id2 => $data2,
...
}
Where $id1, $id2 are two byte subfield ID's.
If you use the hash syntax, you have no control over the order in
which the ExtraSubFields are stored, plus you cannot have
SubFields with duplicate ID.
Alternatively the list of subfields can by supplied as a scalar,
thus
ExtraField => $rawdata
In this case "IO::Compress::Zip" will check that $rawdata consists
of zero or more conformant sub-fields.
The Extended Time field (ID "UT"), set using the "exTime" option,
and the Unix2 extra field (ID "Ux), set using the "exUnix2"
option, are examples of extra fields.
If the "Minimal" option is set to true, this option will be
ignored.
The maximum size of an extra field 65535 bytes.
"Minimal => 1|0"
If specified, this option will disable the creation of all extra
fields in the zip local and central headers. So the "exTime",
"exUnix2", "exUnixN", "ExtraFieldLocal" and "ExtraFieldCentral"
options will be ignored.
This parameter defaults to 0.
"BlockSize100K => number"
Specify the number of 100K blocks bzip2 uses during compression.
Valid values are from 1 to 9, where 9 is best compression.
This option is only valid if the "Method" is ZIP_CM_BZIP2. It is
ignored otherwise.
The default is 1.
"WorkFactor => number"
Specifies how much effort bzip2 should take before resorting to a
slower fallback compression algorithm.
Valid values range from 0 to 250, where 0 means use the default
value 30.
This option is only valid if the "Method" is ZIP_CM_BZIP2. It is
ignored otherwise.
The default is 0.
"Preset => number"
Used to choose the LZMA compression preset.
Valid values are 0-9 and "LZMA_PRESET_DEFAULT".
0 is the fastest compression with the lowest memory usage and the
lowest compression.
9 is the slowest compression with the highest memory usage but
with the best compression.
This option is only valid if the "Method" is ZIP_CM_LZMA. It is
ignored otherwise.
Defaults to "LZMA_PRESET_DEFAULT" (6).
"Extreme => 0|1"
Makes LZMA compression a lot slower, but a small compression gain.
This option is only valid if the "Method" is ZIP_CM_LZMA. It is
ignored otherwise.
Defaults to 0.
-Level
Defines the compression level used by zlib. The value should
either be a number between 0 and 9 (0 means no compression and 9
is maximum compression), or one of the symbolic constants defined
below.
Z_NO_COMPRESSION
Z_BEST_SPEED
Z_BEST_COMPRESSION
Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
The default is Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.
Note, these constants are not imported by "IO::Compress::Zip" by
default.
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:strategy);
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:constants);
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:all);
-Strategy
Defines the strategy used to tune the compression. Use one of the
symbolic constants defined below.
Z_FILTERED
Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
Z_RLE
Z_FIXED
Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY
The default is Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY.
"Strict => 0|1"
This is a placeholder option.

Methods
print
Usage is
$z->print($data)
print $z $data
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter. This has
the same behaviour as the "print" built-in.
Returns true if successful.
printf
Usage is
$z->printf($format, $data)
printf $z $format, $data
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.
Returns true if successful.
syswrite
Usage is
$z->syswrite $data
$z->syswrite $data, $length
$z->syswrite $data, $length, $offset
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.
Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or "undef" if
unsuccessful.
write
Usage is
$z->write $data
$z->write $data, $length
$z->write $data, $length, $offset
Compresses and outputs the contents of the $data parameter.
Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written, or "undef" if
unsuccessful.
flush
Usage is
$z->flush;
$z->flush($flush_type);
Flushes any pending compressed data to the output file/buffer.
This method takes an optional parameter, $flush_type, that controls how
the flushing will be carried out. By default the $flush_type used is
"Z_FINISH". Other valid values for $flush_type are "Z_NO_FLUSH",
"Z_SYNC_FLUSH", "Z_FULL_FLUSH" and "Z_BLOCK". It is strongly
recommended that you only set the "flush_type" parameter if you fully
understand the implications of what it does - overuse of "flush" can
seriously degrade the level of compression achieved. See the "zlib"
documentation for details.
Returns true on success.
tell
Usage is
$z->tell()
tell $z
Returns the uncompressed file offset.
eof
Usage is
$z->eof();
eof($z);
Returns true if the "close" method has been called.
seek
$z->seek($position, $whence);
seek($z, $position, $whence);
Provides a sub-set of the "seek" functionality, with the restriction
that it is only legal to seek forward in the output file/buffer. It is
a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.
Empty parts of the file/buffer will have NULL (0x00) bytes written to
them.
The $whence parameter takes one the usual values, namely SEEK_SET,
SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END.
Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
binmode
Usage is
$z->binmode
binmode $z ;
This is a noop provided for completeness.
opened
$z->opened()
Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer.
autoflush
my $prev = $z->autoflush()
my $prev = $z->autoflush(EXPR)
If the $z object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
returns the current autoflush setting for the underlying filehandle. If
"EXPR" is present, and is non-zero, it will enable flushing after every
write/print operation.
If $z is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always
returns "undef".
Note that the special variable $| cannot be used to set or retrieve the
autoflush setting.
input_line_number
$z->input_line_number()
$z->input_line_number(EXPR)
This method always returns "undef" when compressing.
fileno
$z->fileno()
fileno($z)
If the $z object is associated with a file or a filehandle, "fileno"
will return the underlying file descriptor. Once the "close" method is
called "fileno" will return "undef".
If the $z object is associated with a buffer, this method will return
"undef".
close
$z->close() ;
close $z ;
Flushes any pending compressed data and then closes the output
file/buffer.
For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
the IO::Compress::Zip object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the
variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In these
cases, the "close" method will be called automatically, but not until
global destruction of all live objects when the program is terminating.
Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
of Perl, you should call "close" explicitly and not rely on automatic
closing.
Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
If the "AutoClose" option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::Zip
object was created, and the object is associated with a file, the
underlying file will also be closed.
newStream([OPTS])
Usage is
$z->newStream( [OPTS] )
Closes the current compressed data stream and starts a new one.
OPTS consists of any of the options that are available when creating
the $z object.
See the "Constructor Options" section for more details.
deflateParams
Usage is
$z->deflateParams
