Class TarBuffer

public class TarBuffer extends Object

The TarBuffer class implements the tar archive concept of a buffered input stream. This concept goes back to the days of blocked tape drives and special io devices. In the Java universe, the only real function that this class performs is to ensure that files have the correct "block" size, or other tars will complain.

You should never have a need to access this class directly. TarBuffers are created by Tar IO Streams.

TarBuffer

public TarBuffer(InputStream inStream)

TarBuffer

public TarBuffer(InputStream inStream, int blockSize)

TarBuffer

public TarBuffer(InputStream inStream, int blockSize, int recordSize)

TarBuffer

public TarBuffer(OutputStream outStream)

TarBuffer

public TarBuffer(OutputStream outStream, int blockSize)

TarBuffer

public TarBuffer(OutputStream outStream, int blockSize, int recordSize)

Method Detail

close

public void close()
Close the TarBuffer. If this is an output buffer, also flush the current block before closing.

getBlockSize

public int getBlockSize()
Get the TAR Buffer's block size. Blocks consist of multiple records.

getCurrentBlockNum

public int getCurrentBlockNum()
Get the current block number, zero based.

Returns: The current zero based block number.

getCurrentRecordNum

public int getCurrentRecordNum()
Get the current record number, within the current block, zero based. Thus, current offset = (currentBlockNum * recsPerBlk) + currentRecNum.

Returns: The current zero based record number.

getRecordSize

public int getRecordSize()
Get the TAR Buffer's record size.

isEOFRecord

public boolean isEOFRecord(byte[] record)
Determine if an archive record indicate End of Archive. End of archive is indicated by a record that consists entirely of null bytes.

Parameters: record The record data to check.

readRecord

public byte[] readRecord()
Read a record from the input stream and return the data.

Returns: The record data.

setDebug

public void setDebug(boolean debug)
Set the debugging flag for the buffer.

Parameters: debug If true, print debugging output.

skipRecord

public void skipRecord()
Skip over a record on the input stream.

writeRecord

public void writeRecord(byte[] record)
Write an archive record to the archive.

Parameters: record The record data to write to the archive.

writeRecord

public void writeRecord(byte[] buf, int offset)
Write an archive record to the archive, where the record may be inside of a larger array buffer. The buffer must be "offset plus record size" long.

Parameters: buf The buffer containing the record data to write. offset The offset of the record data within buf.
