This package provides commands to decompress and access the contents of zip archives\. # API - __::zipfile::decode::archive__ This command decodes the last opened \(and not yet closed\) zip archive file\. The result of the command is a dictionary describing the contents of the archive\. The structure of this dictionary is not public\. Proper access should be made through the provided accessor commands of this package\. - __::zipfile::decode::close__ This command releases all state associated with the last call of __::zipfile::decode::open__\. The result of the command is the empty string\. - __::zipfile::decode::comment__ *adict* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and returns the global comment of the archive\. - __::zipfile::decode::content__ *archive* This is a convenience command which decodes the specified zip *archive* file and returns the list of paths found in it as its result\. - __::zipfile::decode::copyfile__ *adict* *path* *dst* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and copies the decompressed contents of the file *path* in the archive to the the file *dst*\. An error is thrown if the file is not found in the archive\. - __::zipfile::decode::files__ *adict* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and returns the list of files found in the archive\. - __::zipfile::decode::getfile__ *zdict* *path* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and returns the decompressed contents of the file *path* in the archive\. An error is thrown if the file is not found in the archive\. - __::zipfile::decode::hasfile__ *adict* *path* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and check if the specified *path* is found in the archive\. The result of the command is a boolean flag, __true__ if the path is found, and __false__ otherwise\. - __::zipfile::decode::filesize__ *zdict* *path* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and returns the decompressed size of the file *path* in the archive\. An error is thrown if the file is not found in the archive\. - __::zipfile::decode::filecomment__ *zdict* *path* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and returns the per\-file comment of the file *path* in the archive\. An error is thrown if the file is not found in the archive\. - __::zipfile::decode::iszip__ *archive* This command takes the path of a presumed zip *archive* file and returns a boolean flag as the result of the command telling us if it actually is a zip archive \(__true__\), or not \(__false__\)\. - __::zipfile::decode::open__ *archive* This command takes the path of a zip *archive* file and prepares it for decoding\. The result of the command is the empty string\. All important information is stored in global state\. If multiple open calls are made one after the other only the state of the last call is available to the other commands\. - __::zipfile::decode::unzip__ *adict* *dstdir* This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as returned by __::zipfile::decode::archive__, and unpacks the archive in the given destination directory *dstdir*\. The result of the command is the empty string\. - __::zipfile::decode::unzipfile__ *archive* *dstdir* This is a convenience command which unpacks the specified zip *archive* file in the given destination directory *dstdir*\. The result of the command is the empty string\. # Bugs, Ideas, Feedback This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems\. Please report such in the category *zipfile* of the [Tcllib Trackers](http://core\.tcl\.tk/tcllib/reportlist)\. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation\. When proposing code changes, please provide *unified diffs*, i\.e the output of __diff \-u__\. Note further that *attachments* are strongly preferred over inlined patches\. Attachments can be made by going to the __Edit__ form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left\-most button in the secondary navigation bar\. # KEYWORDS [decompression](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#decompression), [zip](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#zip) # CATEGORY File # COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2008\-2022 Andreas Kupries
