Method Detail

getDefaultEntityMode

protected abstract org.entityfs.entityattrs.unix.UnixEntityMode getDefaultEntityMode()

Subclasses implement this to return the default Unix entity mode if none is set in the Tar file. This is called from the constructor.

Returns:

The default entity mode for the entry type.

getEntityMode

public org.entityfs.entityattrs.unix.UnixEntityMode getEntityMode()

Get the Unix entity mode for the entry. The Unix entity mode is the permissions settings for the entry.

Returns:

The Unix entity mode for the entry.

getOwnerUid

public int getOwnerUid()

Get the owner user id for the entry. This property allows a value range between 0 and 2097151. The actual range of the property depends on the Tar software and the operating system platform used when creating the archive.

Some entry versions support expressing the entry owner's user name in text. Software that interpret Tar file should let that text value take precedence over this numerical value.

Returns:

The owner user id for the entry.

See Also:

getOwnerGid()

getOwnerGid

public int getOwnerGid()

Get the owner group id for the entry. This property allows a value range between 0 and 2097151. The actual range of the property depends on the Tar software and the operating system platform used when creating the archive.

Some entry versions support expressing the entry owner's group name in text. Software that interpret Tar file should let that text value take precedence over this numerical value.

Returns:

The owner group id for the entry.

See Also:

getOwnerUid()

getLastModificationTime

public Date getLastModificationTime()

Get the time of last modification for the file system entity that was added to the Tar file to create this Tar entry.

The time zone for the timestamp is UTC.

Returns:

The last modification time.

getChecksum

public int getChecksum()

Get the entry's checksum. The checksum is calculated by adding together the values of all individual bytes in the Tar entry header, with the checksum field taken to be eight spaces.

This is a value in the range of 0 and 130560.

Returns:

The Tar entry's checksum.
