Documentation

Overview

Package zip provides support for reading and writing ZIP archives.

See: http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT

This package does not support disk spanning.

A note about ZIP64:

To be backwards compatible the FileHeader has both 32 and 64 bit Size fields. The 64 bit fields will always contain the correct value and for normal archives both fields will be the same. For files requiring the ZIP64 format the 32 bit fields will be 0xffffffff and the 64 bit fields must be used instead.

Compression methods.

Variables

	ErrAlgorithm = errors.New("zip: unsupported compression algorithm")
	ErrChecksum  = errors.New("zip: checksum error")
)

Types

type File

type File struct {
	FileHeader
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*File) Open

func (f *File) Open() (rc io.ReadCloser, err error)

Open returns a ReadCloser that provides access to the File's contents. Multiple files may be read concurrently.

type FileHeader

type FileHeader struct {
	// Name is the name of the file.
	// It must be a relative path: it must not start with a drive
	// letter (e.g. C:) or leading slash, and only forward slashes
	// are allowed.
	Name string

	CreatorVersion     uint16
	ReaderVersion      uint16
	Flags              uint16
	Method             uint16
	ModifiedTime       uint16 // MS-DOS time
	ModifiedDate       uint16 // MS-DOS date
	CRC32              uint32
	CompressedSize     uint32 // deprecated; use CompressedSize64
	UncompressedSize   uint32 // deprecated; use UncompressedSize64
	CompressedSize64   uint64
	UncompressedSize64 uint64
	Extra              []byte
	ExternalAttrs      uint32 // Meaning depends on CreatorVersion
	Comment            string
}

FileHeader describes a file within a zip file. See the zip spec for details.

func FileInfoHeader

func FileInfoHeader(fi os.FileInfo) (*FileHeader, error)

FileInfoHeader creates a partially-populated FileHeader from an os.FileInfo.

func (*FileHeader) FileInfo

func (h *FileHeader) FileInfo() os.FileInfo

FileInfo returns an os.FileInfo for the FileHeader.

func (*FileHeader) ModTime

func (h *FileHeader) ModTime() time.Time

ModTime returns the modification time. The resolution is 2s.

func (*FileHeader) Mode

func (h *FileHeader) Mode() (mode os.FileMode)

Mode returns the permission and mode bits for the FileHeader.

func (*FileHeader) SetModTime

func (h *FileHeader) SetModTime(t time.Time)

SetModTime sets the ModifiedTime and ModifiedDate fields to the given time. The resolution is 2s.

func (*FileHeader) SetMode

func (h *FileHeader) SetMode(mode os.FileMode)

SetMode changes the permission and mode bits for the FileHeader.

type ReadCloser

type ReadCloser struct {
	Reader
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func OpenReader

func OpenReader(name string) (*ReadCloser, error)

OpenReader will open the Zip file specified by name and return a ReadCloser.

func (*ReadCloser) Close

func (rc *ReadCloser) Close() error

Close closes the Zip file, rendering it unusable for I/O.

type Reader

type Reader struct {
	File    []*File
	Comment string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Example

package main

import (
	"archive/zip"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	// Open a zip archive for reading.
	r, err := zip.OpenReader("testdata/readme.zip")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer r.Close()

	// Iterate through the files in the archive,
	// printing some of their contents.
	for _, f := range r.File {
		fmt.Printf("Contents of %s:\n", f.Name)
		rc, err := f.Open()
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		_, err = io.CopyN(os.Stdout, rc, 68)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		rc.Close()
		fmt.Println()
	}
}

Output:

Contents of README:
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.

func NewReader

func NewReader(r io.ReaderAt, size int64) (*Reader, error)

NewReader returns a new Reader reading from r, which is assumed to have the given size in bytes.

type Writer

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Writer implements a zip file writer.

Example

package main

import (
	"archive/zip"
	"bytes"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	// Create a buffer to write our archive to.
	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)

	// Create a new zip archive.
	w := zip.NewWriter(buf)

	// Add some files to the archive.
	var files = []struct {
		Name, Body string
	}{
		{"readme.txt", "This archive contains some text files."},
		{"gopher.txt", "Gopher names:\nGeorge\nGeoffrey\nGonzo"},
		{"todo.txt", "Get animal handling licence.\nWrite more examples."},
	}
	for _, file := range files {
		f, err := w.Create(file.Name)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		_, err = f.Write([]byte(file.Body))
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}

	// Make sure to check the error on Close.
	err := w.Close()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

func NewWriter

func NewWriter(w io.Writer) *Writer

NewWriter returns a new Writer writing a zip file to w.

func (*Writer) Close

func (w *Writer) Close() error

Close finishes writing the zip file by writing the central directory. It does not (and can not) close the underlying writer.

func (*Writer) Create

func (w *Writer) Create(name string) (io.Writer, error)

Create adds a file to the zip file using the provided name. It returns a Writer to which the file contents should be written. The name must be a relative path: it must not start with a drive letter (e.g. C:) or leading slash, and only forward slashes are allowed. The file's contents must be written to the io.Writer before the next call to Create, CreateHeader, or Close.

func (*Writer) CreateHeader

func (w *Writer) CreateHeader(fh *FileHeader) (io.Writer, error)

CreateHeader adds a file to the zip file using the provided FileHeader for the file metadata. It returns a Writer to which the file contents should be written. The file's contents must be written to the io.Writer before the next call to Create, CreateHeader, or Close.
