ZipEntry Tcl Reference Documentation
ZipEntry
Current Version: 10.0.0
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).
Object Creation
set myZipEntry [new CkZipEntry]
Properties
Comment
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_Comment $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_comment $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_Comment $myZipEntry $strVal
The comment stored within the Zip for this entry.
topCompressedLength
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_CompressedLength $myZipEntry]
The size in bytes of this entry's file data when compression is applied
topCompressedLength64
set int64Val [CkZipEntry_get_CompressedLength64 $myZipEntry]
The size in bytes of this entry's file data when compression is applied
topCompressedLengthStr
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_CompressedLengthStr $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_compressedLengthStr $myZipEntry]
The size in decimal string format of this file when Zip compression is applied.
topCompressionLevel
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_CompressionLevel $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_CompressionLevel $myZipEntry $intVal
The compression level. 0 = no compression, while 9 = maximum compression. The default is 6.
topCompressionMethod
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_CompressionMethod $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_CompressionMethod $myZipEntry $intVal
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
topCrc
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_Crc $myZipEntry]
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 )
topDebugLogFilePath
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_DebugLogFilePath $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_debugLogFilePath $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_DebugLogFilePath $myZipEntry $strVal
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:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.
EncryptionKeyLen
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_EncryptionKeyLen $myZipEntry]
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.
topEntryID
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_EntryID $myZipEntry]
A unique ID assigned to the entry while the object is instantiated in memory.
topEntryType
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_EntryType $myZipEntry]
Indicates the origin of the entry. There are three possible values:
- Mapped Entry: An entry in an existing Zip file.
- File Entry: A file not yet in memory, but referenced. These entries are added by calling AppendFiles, AppendFilesEx, AppendOneFileOrDir, etc.
- Data Entry: An entry containing uncompressed data from memory. These entries are added by calling AppendData, AppendString, etc.
- Null Entry: An entry that no longer exists in the .zip.
- New Directory Entry: A directory entry added by calling AppendNewDir.
FileDateTimeStr
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_FileDateTimeStr $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_fileDateTimeStr $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_FileDateTimeStr $myZipEntry $strVal

topFileName
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_FileName $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_fileName $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_FileName $myZipEntry $strVal
FileNameHex
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_FileNameHex $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_fileNameHex $myZipEntry]
A string containing the hex encoded raw filename bytes found in the Zip entry.
topIsAesEncrypted
set boolVal [CkZipEntry_get_IsAesEncrypted $myZipEntry]
1 if the entry is AES encrypted. This property can only be 1 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 0 if the entry contained in the zip is not AES encrypted.
topIsDirectory
set boolVal [CkZipEntry_get_IsDirectory $myZipEntry]
True if the Zip entry is a directory, false if it is a file.
topLastErrorHtml
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_LastErrorHtml $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_lastErrorHtml $myZipEntry]
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.
topLastErrorText
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_LastErrorText $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_lastErrorText $myZipEntry]
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.
LastErrorXml
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_LastErrorXml $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_lastErrorXml $myZipEntry]
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.
topLastMethodSuccess
set boolVal [CkZipEntry_get_LastMethodSuccess $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_LastMethodSuccess $myZipEntry $boolVal
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of 1 indicates success, a value of 0 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 = 1 and failure = 0.
- 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 1. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topTextFlag
set boolVal [CkZipEntry_get_TextFlag $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_TextFlag $myZipEntry $boolVal
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.
topUncompressedLength
set intVal [CkZipEntry_get_UncompressedLength $myZipEntry]
The size in bytes of this entry's file data when uncompressed.
topUncompressedLength64
set int64Val [CkZipEntry_get_UncompressedLength64 $myZipEntry]
The size in bytes of this entry's file data when uncompressed.
topUncompressedLengthStr
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_UncompressedLengthStr $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_uncompressedLengthStr $myZipEntry]
The size in bytes (in decimal string format) of this zip entry's data when uncompressed.
topUtf8
set boolVal [CkZipEntry_get_Utf8 $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_Utf8 $myZipEntry $boolVal
When set to 1, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to 0 (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to 1, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to 0, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.
topVerboseLogging
set boolVal [CkZipEntry_get_VerboseLogging $myZipEntry]
CkZipEntry_put_VerboseLogging $myZipEntry $boolVal
If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.
topVersion
# ckStr is a CkString
CkZipEntry_get_Version $myZipEntry $ckStr
set strVal [CkZipEntry_get_version $myZipEntry]
Methods
AppendData
AppendDataAsync (1)
Creates an asynchronous task to call the AppendData method with the arguments provided. (Async methods are available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52.)
Returns NULL on failure
topAppendString
# charset is a string
set status [CkZipEntry_AppendString $strContent $charset]
Appends text data to the zip entry's file contents. The text is appended using the character encoding specified by the charset, which can be "utf-8", "ansi", etc.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topAppendStringAsync (1)
# strContent is a string
# charset is a string
set ret_task [CkZipEntry_AppendStringAsync $strContent $charset]
Creates an asynchronous task to call the AppendString method with the arguments provided. (Async methods are available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52.)
Returns NULL on failure
topCopy
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 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topCopyToBase64
set status [CkZipEntry_CopyToBase64 $outStr]
set retStr [CkZipEntry_copyToBase64 $myZipEntry]
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 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topCopyToHex
set status [CkZipEntry_CopyToHex $outStr]
set retStr [CkZipEntry_copyToHex $myZipEntry]
Returns the compressed data as a hexidecimal 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 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topExtract
set status [CkZipEntry_Extract $dirPath]
Unzips this entry into the specified base directory. The file is unzipped to the subdirectory according to the relative path stored with the entry in the Zip. Use ExtractInto to unzip into a specific directory regardless of the path information stored in the Zip.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Returns NULL on failure
ReplaceData
ReplaceString
# charset is a string
set status [CkZipEntry_ReplaceString $strContent $charset]
Replaces the zip entry's existing contents with new text data. The text will be stored using the character encoding as specified by charset, which can be "utf-8", "ansi", etc.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
