Class ArArchiveEntry

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ar.ArArchiveEntry
All Implemented Interfaces:
ArchiveEntry
public class ArArchiveEntry extends Object implements ArchiveEntry
Represents an archive entry in the "ar" format.

Each AR archive starts with "!<arch>" followed by a LF. After these 8 bytes the archive entries are listed. The format of an entry header is as it follows: 

 START BYTE   END BYTE    NAME                    FORMAT      LENGTH
 0            15          File name               ASCII       16
 16           27          Modification timestamp  Decimal     12
 28           33          Owner ID                Decimal     6
 34           39          Group ID                Decimal     6
 40           47          File mode               Octal       8
 48           57          File size (bytes)       Decimal     10
 58           59          File magic              \140\012    2

This specifies that an ar archive entry header contains 60 bytes.

Due to the limitation of the file name length to 16 bytes GNU and BSD has their own variants of this format. Currently Commons Compress can read but not write the GNU variant. It fully supports the BSD variant.
