Class X5455_ExtendedTimestamp

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.X5455_ExtendedTimestamp
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, ZipExtraField

An extra field that stores additional file and directory timestamp data for ZIP entries. Each ZIP entry can include up to three timestamps (modify, access, create*). The timestamps are stored as 32 bit signed integers representing seconds since UNIX epoch (Jan 1st, 1970, UTC). This field improves on ZIP's default timestamp granularity, since it allows one to store additional timestamps, and, in addition, the timestamps are stored using per-second granularity (zip's default behavior can only store timestamps to the nearest even second).

Unfortunately, 32 (signed) bits can only store dates up to the year 2037, and so this extra field will eventually be obsolete. Enjoy it while it lasts!

  • modifyTime: most recent time of file/directory modification (or file/dir creation if the entry has not been modified since it was created).
  • accessTime: most recent time file/directory was opened (e.g., read from disk). Many people disable their operating systems from updating this value using the NOATIME mount option to optimize disk behavior, and thus it's not always reliable. In those cases it's always equal to modifyTime.
  • *createTime: modern Linux file systems (e.g., ext2 and newer) do not appear to store a value like this, and so it's usually omitted altogether in the ZIP extra field. Perhaps other Unix systems track this.
