Detailed Description

the QZipWriter class provides a way to create a new zip archive.

Since: 4.5

QZipWriter can be used to create a zip archive containing any number of files and directories. The files in the archive will be compressed in a way that is compatible with common zip reader applications.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CompressionPolicy

enum QZipWriter::CompressionPolicy

\value AlwaysCompress A file that is added is compressed.

\value NeverCompress A file that is added will be stored without changes. \value AutoCompress A file that is added will be compressed only if that will give a smaller file.

◆ Status

enum QZipWriter::Status

The following status values are possible:

\value NoError No error occurred. \value FileWriteError An error occurred when writing to the device. \value FileOpenError The file could not be opened. \value FilePermissionsError The file could not be accessed. \value FileError Another file error occurred.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QZipWriter() [1/2]

QZipWriter::QZipWriter	(	const QString &	fileName,
		QIODevice::OpenMode	mode = (QIODevice::WriteOnly \| QIODevice::Truncate) )

explicit

Create a new zip archive that operates on the archive filename.

The file will be opened with the mode.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ QZipWriter() [2/2]

QZipWriter::QZipWriter ( QIODevice * device )

explicit

Create a new zip archive that operates on the archive found in device.

You have to open the device previous to calling the constructor and only a device that is readable will be scanned for zip filecontent.

◆ addDirectory()

void QZipWriter::addDirectory ( const QString & dirName )

Create a new directory in the archive with the specified dirName and the permissions;.

References QZipWriterPrivate::addEntry(), QZipWriterPrivate::Directory, QDir::fromNativeSeparators(), and QByteArray().

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ addFile() [1/2]

void QZipWriter::addFile	(	const QString &	fileName,
		const QByteArray &	data )

Add a file to the archive with data as the file contents.

The file will be stored in the archive using the fileName which includes the full path in the archive.

The new file will get the file permissions based on the current creationPermissions and it will be compressed using the zip compression based on the current compression policy.

◆ addFile() [2/2]

void QZipWriter::addFile	(	const QString &	fileName,
		QIODevice *	device )

Add a file to the archive with device as the source of the contents.

The contents returned from QIODevice::readAll() will be used as the filedata. The file will be stored in the archive using the fileName which includes the full path in the archive.
