27
- Archive::Tar::External.new(archive_name, pattern=nil, program=nil)
28
- Creates an instance of an Archive::Tar::External object. The +archive_name+ is
29
- the name of the tarball. While a '.tar' extension is recommended based on
30
- years of convention, it is not enforced.
31
-
32
- If +pattern+ is provided, then the Archive#create_archive method is called
33
- internally.
34
-
35
- If +program+ is provided, then the Archive#compress_archive method is
36
- called internally.
37
-
38
- Note that +archive_name+ name must be a String, or a TypeError is raised.
39
-
40
- Archive::Tar::External.expand_archive(archive_name, *files)
41
- Identical to the instance method of the same name, except that you must
42
- specify the +archive_name+, and the tar program is hard coded to 'tar xf'.
43
-
44
- Archive::Tar::External.uncompress_archive(archive_name, program='gunzip')
45
- Identical to the instance method of the same name, except that you must
46
- specify the +archive_name+ as the first argument.
47
-
48
- == Instance Methods
49
- Archive;:Tar#add(file1 [, file2, ...])
50
- Archive::Tar::External#add_to_archive(file1 [, file2, ...])
51
- Adds a list of files to the current archive. At least one file must be
52
- provided or a Tar::Error is raised.
53
-
54
- Archive::Tar::External#archive_info
55
- Archive::Tar::External#info
56
- Returns an array of file names that are included within the tarball.
57
-
58
- Archive::Tar::External#archive_name
59
- Returns the current archive name.
60
-
61
- Archive::Tar::External#archive_name=
62
- Sets the current archive name.
63
-
64
- Archive::Tar::External#compress(program="gzip")
65
- Archive::Tar::External#compress_archive(program="gzip")
66
- Compresses the tarball using the program you pass to this method. The
67
- default is "gzip".
68
-
69
- Note that any arguments you want to be passed along with the program can
70

22
+ == Constants
23
+ VERSION
24
+ Current version number of this library. This is a string.
25
+
26
+ == Class Methods
27
+ Archive::Tar::External.new(archive_name, pattern=nil, program=nil)
28
+ Creates an instance of an Archive::Tar::External object. The +archive_name+ is
29
+ the name of the tarball. While a '.tar' extension is recommended based on
30
+ years of convention, it is not enforced.
31
+
32
+ If +pattern+ is provided, then the Archive#create_archive method is called
33
+ internally.
34
+
35
+ If +program+ is provided, then the Archive#compress_archive method is
36
+ called internally.
37
+
38
+ Note that +archive_name+ name must be a String, or a TypeError is raised.
39
+
40
+ Archive::Tar::External.expand_archive(archive_name, *files)
41
+ Identical to the instance method of the same name, except that you must
42
+ specify the +archive_name+, and the tar program is hard coded to 'tar xf'.
43
+
44
+ Archive::Tar::External.uncompress_archive(archive_name, program='gunzip')
45
+ Identical to the instance method of the same name, except that you must
46
+ specify the +archive_name+ as the first argument.
47
+
48
+ == Instance Methods
49
+ Archive;:Tar#add(file1 [, file2, ...])
50
+ Archive::Tar::External#add_to_archive(file1 [, file2, ...])
51
+ Adds a list of files to the current archive. At least one file must be
52
+ provided or a Tar::Error is raised.
53
+
54
+ Archive::Tar::External#archive_info
55
+ Archive::Tar::External#info
56
+ Returns an array of file names that are included within the tarball.

+
64
+ Archive::Tar::External#compress(program="gzip")
65
+ Archive::Tar::External#compress_archive(program="gzip")
66
+ Compresses the tarball using the program you pass to this method. The
67
+ default is "gzip".
68
+
69
+ Note that any arguments you want to be passed along with the program can
70
+ simply be included as part of the program, e.g. "gzip -f".
71
+
72
+ Archive::Tar::External#create(file_pattern)
73
+ Archive::Tar::External#create_archive(file_pattern)
74

77
+ Archive::Tar::External#extract_archive(files=nil)
78

79
+ the tarball.
80
+
81
+ If file names are provided, then only those files are extracted.
82
+
83
+ Archive::Tar::External#tar_program
84
+ Returns the name of the tar program used. The default is "tar".
85
+
86
+ Archive::Tar::External#tar_program=(program_name)
