rubyzip is a ruby library for reading and writing zip files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
= Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have rubygems you can install rubyzip directly from the gem
|
||
|
|
repository
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gem install rubyzip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise obtain the source (see below) and run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ruby install.rb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the unit tests you need to have test::unit installed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rake test
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

= Documentation

|
There is more than one way to access or create a zip archive with
|
||
|
|
rubyzip. The basic API is modeled after the classes in
|
||
|
|
java.util.zip from the Java SDK. This means there are classes such
|
||
|
|
as Zip::ZipInputStream, Zip::ZipOutputStream and
|
||
|
|
Zip::ZipFile. Zip::ZipInputStream provides a basic interface for
|
||
|
|
iterating through the entries in a zip archive and reading from the
|
||
|
|
entries in the same way as from a regular File or IO
|
||
|
|
object. ZipOutputStream is the corresponding basic output
|
||
|
|
facility. Zip::ZipFile provides a mean for accessing the archives
|
||
|
|
central directory and provides means for accessing any entry without
|
||
|
|
having to iterate through the archive. Unlike Java's
|
||
|
|
java.util.zip.ZipFile rubyzip's Zip::ZipFile is mutable, which means
|
||
|
|
it can be used to change zip files as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another way to access a zip archive with rubyzip is to use rubyzip's
|
||
|
|
Zip::ZipFileSystem API. Using this API files can be read from and
|
||
|
|
written to the archive in much the same manner as ruby's builtin
|
||
|
|
classes allows files to be read from and written to the file system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rubyzip also features the
|
||
|
|
zip/ziprequire.rb[link:files/lib/zip/ziprequire_rb.html] module which
|
||
|
|
allows ruby to load ruby modules from zip archives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For details about the specific behaviour of classes and methods refer
|
||
|
|
to the test suite. Finally you can generate the rdoc documentation or
