## Detailed Description

A **FileEntry** represents an entry in a **FileCollection**.

The interface is a copy of the ZipEntry interface from the java.util.zip package. The name has been changed to **FileEntry**, as **FileCollection** is a more general abstraction, that covers other types of file collections than just zip files.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### virtual zipios::FileEntry::~FileEntry ()` [inline]`, ` [virtual]`

**FileEntry** destructor.

Definition at line 163 of file fileentry.h.

## Member Function Documentation

### virtual FileEntry\* zipios::FileEntry::clone () const` [pure virtual]`

Create a heap allocated clone of the object this method is called for. The caller is responsible for deallocating the clone when he is done with it.

**Returns:**

A heap allocated copy of the object this method is called for.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipCDirEntry**, **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual string zipios::FileEntry::getComment () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the comment of the entry, if it has one. Otherwise it returns an empty string.

**Returns:**

the comment associated with the entry, if there is one.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipCDirEntry**, **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual uint32 zipios::FileEntry::getCompressedSize () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the compressed size of the entry. If the entry is not stored in a compressed format, the uncompressed size is returned.

**Returns:**

the compressed size of the entry. If the entry is stored without compression the uncompressed size is returned.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual uint32 zipios::FileEntry::getCrc () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the Crc for the entry, if it has one. FIXME: what is returned if it doesn't have one?

**Returns:**

the Crc for the entry, if it has one.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual vector\< unsigned char \> zipios::FileEntry::getExtra () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns a vector of bytes of extra data that may be stored with the entry.

**Returns:**

A vector\< unsigned char \> of extra bytes that may potentially be associated with an entry.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual string zipios::FileEntry::getFileName () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the filename of the entry.

**Returns:**

Returns the filename of the entry.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual StorageMethod zipios::FileEntry::getMethod () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the method used to store the entry in the **FileCollection**.

**Returns:**

the storage method used to store the entry in the collection.

**See also:**

StorageMethod.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual string zipios::FileEntry::getName () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the full filename of the entry, including a path if the entry is stored in a subfolder.

**Returns:**

the filename of the entry, including path if the entry is stored in a sub-folder.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual uint32 zipios::FileEntry::getSize () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the (uncompressed) size of the entry data.

**Returns:**

Returns the (uncompressed) size of the entry.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual int zipios::FileEntry::getTime () const` [pure virtual]`

Returns the date and time of FIXME: what?

**Returns:**

the date and time of the entry.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual bool zipios::FileEntry::isDirectory () const` [pure virtual]`

**Returns:**

true if the **FileEntry** has been parsed succesfully.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual void zipios::FileEntry::setComment (const string & comment)` [pure virtual]`

Sets the crc field.

**Parameters:**

*crc* value to set the crc field to.

### virtual void zipios::FileEntry::setMethod (StorageMethod method)` [pure virtual]`

Sets the storage method field for the entry.

**Parameters:**

*method* the method field is set to the specified value.

Implemented in **zipios::ZipLocalEntry**, and **zipios::BasicEntry**.

### virtual void zipios::FileEntry::setName (const string & name)` [pure virtual]`
