zip_list: List Files in a 'zip' Archive

In zip: Cross-Platform 'zip' Compression

List Files in a 'zip' Archive

Description

List Files in a 'zip' Archive

Usage

zip_list(zipfile, encoding = NULL)

Arguments

zipfile	Path to an existing ZIP file.
encoding	Encoding to use for entry filenames. ZIP files signal UTF-8 filenames via a flag in each entry; those are always decoded as UTF-8 regardless of encoding. For entries without that flag, encoding is used; NULL (the default) falls back to IBM CP437, which is what the ZIP specification prescribes for legacy entries. The value is passed to iconv().

Details

Note that crc32 is formatted using as.hexmode(). offset refers to the start of the local zip header for each entry. Following the approach of seek() it is stored as a numeric rather than an integer vector and can therefore represent values up to 2^53-1 (9 PB).

Value

A data frame with columns: filename, compressed_size, uncompressed_size, timestamp, permissions, crc32, offset, type and encryption. type is one of file, block_device, character_device, directory, FIFO, symlink or socket. encryption is one of none, aes128, aes192, aes256, zipcrypto, or NA if encrypted but the scheme cannot be determined.
