=head1 NAME

Packdrakeng - Simple Archive Extractor/Builder

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Packdrakeng;

    # creating an archive
    $pack = Packdrakeng->new(archive => "myarchive.cz");
    # Adding a few files
    $pack->add("/path/", "file1", "file2");
    # Adding an unamed file
    open($handle, "file");
    $pack->add_virtual("filename", $handle);
    close($handle);

    $pack = undef;

    # extracting an archive
    $pack = Packdrakeng->open(archive => "myarchive.cz");
    # listing files
    $pack->list();
    # extracting few files
    $pack->extract("/path/", "file1", "file2");
    # extracting data into a file handle
    open($handle, "file");
    $pack->extract_virtual($handle, "filename");
    close($handle);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Packdrakeng> is a simple indexed archive builder and extractor using
standard compression methods.

This module is a from scratch rewrite of the original packdrake. Its format is
fully compatible with old packdrake.

=head1 IMPLEMENTATION

Compressed data are stored by block. For example,

 UncompresseddatA1UncompresseddatA2 UncompresseddatA3UncompresseddatA4
 |--- size  1 ---||--- size  2 ---| |--- size  3 ---||--- size  4 ---|
 |<-offset1       |<-offset2        |<-offset3       |<-offset4

gives:

 CompresseD1CompresseD2 CompresseD3CompresseD4
 |--- c. size 1, 2 ---| |--- c. size 3, 4 ---|
 |<-c. offset 1, 2      |<-c. offset 3, 4

A new block is started when its size exceeds the C<block_size> value.

Compressed data are followed by the toc, ie a simple list of packed files.
Each file name is terminated by the "\n" character:

    dir1
    dir2
    ...
    dirN
    symlink1
    point_file1
    symlink2
    point_file2
    ...
    ...
    symlinkN
    point_fileN
    file1
    file2
    ...
    fileN

The file sizes follows, 4 values are stored for each file:
offset into archive of compressed block, size of compressed block,
offset into block of the file and the file's size.

Finally the archive contains a 64-byte trailer, about the
toc and the archive itself:

    'cz[0', strings 4 bytes
    number of directory, 4 bytes
    number of symlinks, 4 bytes
    number of files, 4 bytes
    the toc size, 4 bytes
    the uncompression command, string of 40 bytes length
    '0]cz', string 4 bytes

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 2

=item B<new(%options)>

Creates a new archive.
Options:

=over 4

=item archive

The file name of the archive. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created,
else it will be owerwritten. See C<open>.

=item compress

The application to use to compress, if unspecified, gzip is used.

=item uncompress

The application used to extract data from archive. This option is useless if
you're opening an existing archive (unless you want to force it).
If unset, this value is based on compress command followed by '-d' argument.

=item extern

If you're using gzip, by default Packdrakeng will use perl-zlib to save system
ressources. This option forces Packdrakeng to use the external gzip command. This
has no meaning with other compress programs as internal functions are not implemented
yet.

=item comp_level

The compression level passed as an argument to the compression program. By default,
this is set to 6.

=item block_size

The limit size after which we start a new compressed block. The default value
is 400KB. Set it to 0 to be sure a new block will be started for each packed
files, and -1 to never start a new block. Be aware that a big block size will
slow down the file extraction.

=item quiet

Do not output anything, shut up.

=item debug

Print debug messages.

=back

=item B<open(%options)>

Opens an existing archive for extracting or adding files.

The uncompression command is found into the archive, and the compression
command is deduced from it.

If you add files, a new compressed block will be started even if the
last block is smaller than C<block_size>. If some compression options can't be
found in the archive, the new preference will be applied.

Options are same than the C<new()> function.

=back

=item B<Packdrakeng->add_virtual($type, $filename, $data)>

Add a file into archive according passed information.

$type gives the type of the file:

- 'd', the file will be a directory, store as '$filename'. $data is not use;
- 'l', the file will be a symlink named $filename, pointing to the file whose path
  is given by the string $data;
- 'f', the file is a normal file, $filename will be its name, $data is an handle to
  open file, data will be read from current position to the end of file.

=item B<Packdrakeng->add($prefix, @files)>

Add @files into archive located into $prefix. Only directory, files and symlink
will be added. For each file, the path should be relative to $prefix and is
stored as is.

=item B<Packdrakeng->extract_virtual(*HANDLE, $filename)>

Extract $filename data from archive into the *HANDLE. $filename should be a
normal file.

=item B<Packdrakeng->extract($destdir, @files)>

Extract @files from the archive into $destdir prefix.
