* Extensive improvements to the libarchive_test test program thatkientzle2008-01-011-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | exercises and verifies the libarchive APIs: * Improved error reporting; hexdumps are now provided for many file/memory content differences. * Overall status more clearly counts "tests" and "assertions" * Reference files can now be stored on disk instead of having to be compiled into the test program itself. A couple of tests have been converted to this more natural structure. * Several memory leaks corrected so that leaks within libarchive itself can be more easily detected and diagnosed. * New test: GNU tar compatibility * New test: Zip compatibility * New test: Zero-byte writes to a compressed archive entry * New test: archive_entry_strmode() format verification * New test: mtree reader * New test: write/read of large (2G - 1TB) entries to tar archives (thanks to recent performance work, this test only requires a few seconds) * New test: detailed format verification of cpio odc and newc writers * Many minor additions/improvements to existing tests as well.
* libarchive 2.2.3kientzle2007-05-291-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * "compression_program" support uses an external program * Portability: no longer uses "struct stat" as a primary data interchange structure internally * Part of the above: refactor archive_entry to separate out copy_stat() and stat() functions * More complete tests for archive_entry * Finish archive_entry_clone() * Isolate major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry; remove these from everywhere else. * Bug fix: properly handle decompression look-ahead at end-of-data * Bug fixes to 'ar' support * Fix memory leak in ZIP reader * Portability: better timegm() emulation in iso9660 reader * New write_disk flags to suppress auto dir creation and not overwrite newer files (for future cpio front-end) * Simplify trailing-'/' fixup when writing tar and pax * Test enhancements: fix various compiler warnings, improve portability, add lots of new tests. * Documentation: document new functions, first draft of libarchive_internals.3 MFC after: 14 days Thanks to: Joerg Sonnenberger (compression_program) Thanks to: Kai Wang (ar) Thanks to: Colin Percival (many small fixes) Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
* libarchive 2.0kientzle2007-03-031-0/+46
* libarchive_test program exercises many of the core features * Refactored old "read_extract" into new "archive_write_disk", which uses archive_write methods to put entries onto disk. In particular, you can now use archive_write_disk to create objects on disk without having an archive available. * Pushed some security checks from bsdtar down into libarchive, where they can be better optimized. * Rearchitected the logic for creating objects on disk to reduce the number of system calls. Several common cases now use a minimum number of system calls. * Virtualized some internal interfaces to provide a clearer separation of read and write handling and make it simpler to override key methods. * New "empty" format reader. * Corrected return types (this ABI breakage required the "2.0" version bump) * Many bug fixes.
