Writer

Sequential writer for a new TAR archive.

Fields

compression: Selected compression as :NONE:, :GZIP:, or :ZSTD:.

Methods

`create_dir path …`

Creates a directory entry.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`path`	`(Str \| fs.Path)`	Entry path.
`:mode?`	`Int`	Permission bits. Defaults to `0o755`.
`:uid?`	`Int`	Owner ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:gid?`	`Int`	Group ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:mtime?`	`time.DateTime`	Modification time. Defaults to the Unix epoch.
`:owner_name?`	`Str`	Owner name.
`:group_name?`	`Str`	Group name.

Example

archive.create_dir "subdir" mode: 0o755

`entry[R] path func … -> R`

Adds one regular-file entry and calls func with a scoped EntryWriter.

For directory, symlink, or hard-link entries, use create_dir, symlink, or hard_link instead -- none of them carry content, so none of them have any use for a write handle.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`path`	`(Str \| fs.Path)`	Entry path.
`:size?`	`Int`	Exact content size. Required.
`:mode?`	`Int`	Permission bits. Defaults to `0o644`.
`:uid?`	`Int`	Owner ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:gid?`	`Int`	Group ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:mtime?`	`time.DateTime`	Modification time. Defaults to the Unix epoch.
`:owner_name?`	`Str`	Owner name.
`:group_name?`	`Str`	Group name.
`func`	`((EntryWriter) -> R)`	Entry writer scope, called with an `EntryWriter`.

Errors

Exception	Condition
`ConcurrencyError`	Another entry is created while an entry scope is active
`ValueError`	The number of bytes written differs from the declared `size`

Example

archive.entry data.bin size: 4 mode: 0o600 do |entry|
  entry.write b"\x00\x01\x02\x03"

`hard_link target path …`

Creates a hard-link entry pointing to target.

Argument order matches fs.hard_link.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`target`	`(Str \| fs.Path)`	Path the hard link points to.
`path`	`(Str \| fs.Path)`	Entry path.
`:mode?`	`Int`	Permission bits. Defaults to `0o644`.
`:uid?`	`Int`	Owner ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:gid?`	`Int`	Group ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:mtime?`	`time.DateTime`	Modification time. Defaults to the Unix epoch.
`:owner_name?`	`Str`	Owner name.
`:group_name?`	`Str`	Group name.

Example

archive.hard_link "file.txt" "link.txt"

`symlink target path …`

Creates a symbolic link entry pointing to target.

Argument order matches fs.symlink_file.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`target`	`(Str \| fs.Path)`	Path the symlink points to.
`path`	`(Str \| fs.Path)`	Entry path.
`:mode?`	`Int`	Permission bits. Defaults to `0o777`.
`:uid?`	`Int`	Owner ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:gid?`	`Int`	Group ID. Defaults to `0`.
`:mtime?`	`time.DateTime`	Modification time. Defaults to the Unix epoch.
