Archive::Zip::MemberRead - A wrapper that lets you read Zip archive members as if they were files.
SYNOPSIS
use Archive::Zip;
use Archive::Zip::MemberRead;
$zip = new Archive::Zip("file.zip");
$fh = new Archive::Zip::MemberRead($zip, "subdir/abc.txt");
while (defined($line = $fh->getline()))
{
print $fh->input_line_number . "#: $line\n";
}
$read = $fh->read($buffer, 32*1024);
print "Read $read bytes as :$buffer:\n";
DESCRIPTION
The Archive::Zip::MemberRead module lets you read Zip archive member data
just like you read data from files.
METHODS
Archive::Zip::Member::readFileHandle()
You can get a "Archive::Zip::MemberRead" from an archive member by
calling "readFileHandle()":
my $member = $zip->memberNamed('abc/def.c');
my $fh = $member->readFileHandle();
while (defined($line = $fh->getline()))
{
# ...
}
$fh->close();
Archive::Zip::MemberRead->new($zip, $fileName)
Archive::Zip::MemberRead->new($zip, $member)
Archive::Zip::MemberRead->new($member)
Construct a new Archive::Zip::MemberRead on the specified member.
my $fh = Archive::Zip::MemberRead->new($zip, 'fred.c')
setLineEnd(expr)
Set the line end character to use. This is set to \n by default
except on Windows systems where it is set to \r\n. You will
only need to set this on systems which are not Windows or Unix
based and require a line end diffrent from \n.
This is a class method so call as "Archive::Zip::MemberRead"->"setLineEnd($nl)"
rewind()
Rewinds an "Archive::Zip::MemberRead" so that you can read from it again
starting at the beginning.
input_record_separator(expr)
If the argumnet is given, input_record_separator for this
instance is set to it. The current setting (which may be
the global $/) is always returned.
input_line_number()
Returns the current line number, but only if you're using "getline()".
Using "read()" will not update the line number.
close()
Closes the given file handle.
buffer_size([ $size ])
Gets or sets the buffer size used for reads.
Default is the chunk size used by Archive::Zip.
getline()
Returns the next line from the currently open member.
Makes sense only for text files.
A read error is considered fatal enough to die.
Returns undef on eof. All subsequent calls would return undef,
unless a rewind() is called.
Note: The line returned has the input_record_separator (default: newline) removed.
read($buffer, $num_bytes_to_read)
Simulates a normal "read()" system call.
Returns the no. of bytes read. "undef" on error, 0 on eof, e.g.:
$fh = new Archive::Zip::MemberRead($zip, "sreeji/secrets.bin");
while (1)
{
$read = $fh->read($buffer, 1024);
die "FATAL ERROR reading my secrets !\n" if (!defined($read));
last if (!$read);
# Do processing.
....
}
