DESCRIPTION

       This package provides commands to decompress and access the contents of zip archives.

API

       ::zipfile::decode::archive
              This  command  decodes  the last opened (and not yet closed) zip archive file.  The
              result of the command is a dictionary describing the contents of the  archive.  The
              structure  of  this  dictionary is not public. Proper access should be made through
              the provided accessor command of this package.

       ::zipfile::decode::close
              This  command   releases   all   state   associated   with   the   last   call   of
              ::zipfile::decode::open.  The result of the command is the empty string.

       ::zipfile::decode::comment adict
              This  command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as
              returned by ::zipfile::decode::archive, and  returns  the  global  comment  of  the
              archive.

       ::zipfile::decode::content archive
              This  is  a  convenience  command  which decodes the specified zip archive file and
              returns the list of paths found in it as its result.

       ::zipfile::decode::copyfile adict path dst
              This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file,  as
              returned by ::zipfile::decode::archive, and copies the decompressed contents of the
              file path in the archive to the the file dst.  An error is thrown if  the  file  is
              not found in the archive.

       ::zipfile::decode::files adict
              This  command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as
              returned by ::zipfile::decode::archive, and returns the list of files found in  the
              archive.

       ::zipfile::decode::getfile zdict path
              This  command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file, as
              returned by ::zipfile::decode::archive, and returns the  decompressed  contents  of
              the  file  path in the archive.  An error is thrown if the file is not found in the
              archive.

       ::zipfile::decode::hasfile adict path
              This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file,  as
              returned by ::zipfile::decode::archive, and check if the specified path is found in
              the archive.  The result of the command is a boolean flag,  true  if  the  path  is
              found, and false otherwise.

       ::zipfile::decode::iszip archive
              This  command  takes  the path of a presumed zip archive file and returns a boolean
              flag as the result of the command telling us  if  it  actually  is  a  zip  archive
              (true), or not (false).

       ::zipfile::decode::open archive
              This  command  takes  the  path of a zip archive file and prepares it for decoding.
              The result of the command is the empty string.  All important information is stored
              in  global  state.   If  multiple  open calls are made one after the other only the
              state of the last call is available to the other commands.

       ::zipfile::decode::unzip adict dstdir
              This command takes a dictionary describing the currently open zip archive file,  as
              returned  by  ::zipfile::decode::archive,  and  unpacks  the  archive  in the given
              destination directory dstdir.  The result of the command is the empty string.

       ::zipfile::decode::unzipfile archive dstdir
              This is a convenience command which unpacks the specified zip archive file  in  the
              given destination directory dstdir.

              The result of the command is the empty string.
