Archive::Tar::Wrapper - API wrapper around the 'tar' utility
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Archive::Tar::Wrapper;
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new();
# Open a tarball, expand it into a temporary directory
$arch->read("archive.tgz");
# Iterate over all entries in the archive
$arch->list_reset(); # Reset Iterator
# Iterate through archive
while(my $entry = $arch->list_next()) {
my($tar_path, $phys_path) = @$entry;
print "$tar_path\n";
}
# Get a huge list with all entries
for my $entry (@{$arch->list_all()}) {
my($tar_path, $real_path) = @$entry;
print "Tarpath: $tar_path Tempfile: $real_path\n";
}
# Add a new entry
$arch->add($logic_path, $file_or_stringref);
# Remove an entry
$arch->remove($logic_path);
# Find the physical location of a temporary file
my($tmp_path) = $arch->locate($tar_path);
# Create a tarball
$arch->write($tarfile, $compress);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> is an API wrapper around the C<tar> command line
program. It never stores anything in memory, but works on temporary
directory structures on disk instead. It provides a mapping between
the logical paths in the tarball and the 'real' files in the temporary
directory on disk.
It differs from L<Archive::Tar> in two ways:
=over 4
=item *
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> almost doesn't hold anything in memory (see C<write> method),
instead using disk as storage.
=item *
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> is 100% compliant with the platform's C<tar>
utility because it uses it internally.
=back
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new();
Constructor for the C<tar> wrapper class. Finds the C<tar> executable
by searching C<PATH> and returning the first hit. In case you want
to use a different tar executable, you can specify it as a parameter:
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(tar => '/path/to/tar');
Since B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> creates temporary directories to store
C<tar> data, the location of the temporary directory can be specified:
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(tmpdir => '/path/to/tmpdir');
Tremendous performance increases can be achieved if the temporary
directory is located on a RAM disk. Check the L<Archive::Tar::Wrapper/Using RAM Disks>
section for details.
Additional options can be passed to the C<tar> command by using the
C<tar_read_options> and C<tar_write_options> parameters. Example:
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(
tar_read_options => 'p'
);
will use C<tar xfp archive.tgz> to extract the tarball instead of just
C<tar xf archive.tgz>. GNU tar supports even more options, these can
be passed in via
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(
tar_gnu_read_options => ["--numeric-owner"],
);
Similarly, C<tar_gnu_write_options> can be used to provide additional
options for GNU tar implementations. For example, the tar object
my $tar = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(
tar_gnu_write_options => ["--exclude=foo"],
);
will call the C<tar> utility internally like
tar cf tarfile --exclude=foo ...
when the C<write> method gets called.
By default, the C<list_*()> functions will return only file entries:
directories will be suppressed. To have C<list_*()> return directories
as well, use
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(
dirs => 1
);
If more files are added to a tarball than the command line can handle,
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> will switch from using the command
tar cfv tarfile file1 file2 file3 ...
to
tar cfv tarfile -T filelist
where C<filelist> is a file containing all file to be added. The default
for this switch is 512, but it can be changed by setting the parameter
C<max_cmd_line_args>:
my $arch = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(
max_cmd_line_args => 1024
);
The expectable parameters are:

tar
=item *
tmpdir
=item *
tar_read_options
=item *
tar_write_options
=item *
tar_gnu_read_options

=head2 read
$arch->read("archive.tgz");
C<read()> opens the given tarball, expands it into a temporary directory
and returns 1 on success or C<undef> on failure.
The temporary directory holding the tar data gets cleaned up when C<$arch>
goes out of scope.
C<read> handles both compressed and uncompressed files. To find out if
a file is compressed or uncompressed, it tries to guess by extension,
then by checking the first couple of bytes in the tarfile.
If only a limited number of files is needed from a tarball, they
can be specified after the tarball name:
$arch->read("archive.tgz", "path/file.dat", "path/sub/another.txt");
The file names are passed unmodified to the C<tar> command, make sure
that the file paths match exactly what's in the tarball, otherwise
C<read()> will fail.

Add a new file to the tarball. C<$logic_path> is the virtual path

a scalar, in which case it holds the physical path of a file
on disk to be transferred (i.e. copied) to the tarball, or it is
a reference to a scalar, in which case its content is interpreted
to be the data of the file.
If no additional parameters are given, permissions and user/group
id settings of a file to be added are copied. If you want different
settings, specify them in the options hash:
$arch->add($logic_path, $stringref,
{ perm => 0755, uid => 123, gid => 10 });
If $file_or_stringref is a reference to a Unicode string, the C<binmode>
option has to be set to make sure the string gets written as proper UTF-8

Returns a reference to a (possibly huge) array of items in the

elements: the relative path of the item in the tarfile and the
physical path to the unpacked file or directory on disk.
To iterate over the list, the following construct can be used:

to the unpacked file or directory on disk, and the type of the entry
(f=file, d=directory, l=symlink). Note that by default,

=head2 ramdisk_mount
Mounts a RAM disk.
It executes the C<mount> program under the hood to mount a RAM disk.
Expects as parameter a hash with options to mount the RAM disk, like:
=over
=item *
size
=item *
type (most probably C<tmpfs>)
=item *
tmpdir
=back
Returns 1 if everything goes fine.
Be sure to check the L<Archive::Tar::Wrapper/Using RAM Disks> for full details on using RAM disks.

=head1 Using RAM Disks
On Linux, it's quite easy to create a RAM disk and achieve tremendous
speedups while untarring or modifying a tarball. You can either
create the RAM disk by hand by running
# mkdir -p /mnt/myramdisk
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=20m tmpfs /mnt/myramdisk
and then feeding the ramdisk as a temporary directory to
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper>, like
my $tar = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new( tmpdir => '/mnt/myramdisk' );
or using B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper>'s built-in option C<ramdisk>:
my $tar = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->new(
ramdisk => {
type => 'tmpfs',
size => '20m', # 20 MB
},
);
Only drawback with the latter option is that creating the RAM disk needs
to be performed as root, which often isn't desirable for security reasons.
For this reason, B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> offers a utility functions that
mounts the RAM disk and returns the temporary directory it's located in:
# Create new ramdisk (as root):
my $tmpdir = Archive::Tar::Wrapper->ramdisk_mount(
type => 'tmpfs',
size => '20m', # 20 MB
);
# Delete a ramdisk (as root):
Archive::Tar::Wrapper->ramdisk_unmount();
Optionally, the C<ramdisk_mount()> command accepts a C<tmpdir> parameter
pointing to a temporary directory for the RAM disk if you wish to set it
yourself instead of letting B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> create it automatically.
=head1 KNOWN LIMITATIONS
=over
=item *
Currently, only C<tar> programs supporting the C<z> option (for
compressing/decompressing) are supported. Future version will use
C<gzip> alternatively.
=item *
Currently, you can't add empty directories to a tarball directly.
You could add a temporary file within a directory, and then
C<remove()> the file.
=item *
If you delete a file, the empty directories it was located in
stay in the tarball. You could try to C<locate()> them and delete
them. This will be fixed, though.
=item *
Filenames containing newlines are causing problems with the list
iterators. To be fixed.
=item *
If you ask B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> to add a file to a tarball, it copies it
into a temporary directory and then calls the system tar to wrap up that
directory into a tarball.
This approach has limitations when it comes to file permissions: If the file to
be added belongs to a different user/group, B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> will adjust
the uid/gid/permissions of the target file in the temporary directory to
reflect the original file's settings, to make sure the system tar will add it
like that to the tarball, just like a regular tar run on the original file
would. But this will fail of course if the original file's uid is different
from the current user's, unless the script is running with superuser rights.
The tar program by itself (without B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper>) works differently:
It'll just make a note of a file's uid/gid/permissions in the tarball (which it
can do without superuser rights) and upon extraction, it'll adjust the
permissions of newly generated files if the -p option is given (default for
superuser).
=back
=head1 BUGS
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper> doesn't currently handle filenames with embedded
newlines.
=head2 Microsoft Windows support
Support on Microsoft Windows is limited.
Versions below Windows 10 will not be supported for desktops, and for servers
only Windows 2012 and above.
The GNU C<tar.exe> program doesn't work properly with the current interface of
B<Archive::Tar::Wrapper>.
You must use the C<bsdtar.exe> and make sure it appears first in the C<PATH>
environment variable than the GNU tar (if it is installed). See
L<http://libarchive.org/> for details about how to download and
install C<bsdtar.exe>, or go to L<http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html>
for a direct download. Be sure to look for the C<bzip2> program package to
install it as well.
Windows 10 might come already with C<bsdtar> program already installed. Please
search for that on the appropriate page (Microsoft keeps changing the link to
keep track of it here).
Having spaces in the path string to the tar program might be an issue too.
Although there is some effort in terms of workaround it, you best might avoid it
completely by installing in a different path than C<C:\Program Files>.
Installing both C<bsdtar> and C<bzip2> in C<C:\GnuWin32> will probably be enough
when running the installers.
