NAME

Archive::Lha::Header::Base

DESCRIPTION

This provides several common accessors for convenient properties of LHa headers.

METHODS

method

returns by which method the file is archived.

header_top

returns from where the header part of the archived file begins.

data_top

returns from where the data part of the archived file begins.

next_header

returns from where the next header part begins.

encoded_size

returns the encoded/compressed size of the archived file.

original_size

returns the original size of the archived file.

crc16

returns CRC-16 value of the archived file.

timestamp

returns when the archived file was last updated.

os

returns under which OS the file was archived.

pathname

returns the canonical form of the pathname of the archived file. If you want native form, see the header's private properties which varies depending on the header level. Also note that the native form uses 0xff as a path separator.

You also can pass encoding options:

  # the pathname should have been encoded as 'euc-jp'
  $header->pathname('euc-jp' => 'shiftjis');

If you are not sure, you can let it guess:

  # original encoding of the path would be guessed
  $header->pathname('guess' => 'shiftjis');

dirname

returns directory part of the pathname. This is mainly used while creating parent directory for the file.
