.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBzvfs\fR package provides tcl with the ability to manipulate
the contents of a zip file archive as a virtual file system.
.TP
\fB::zvfs::mount ?\fIarchive\fR? ?\fImountpoint\fR?
.
The \fB::zvfs::mount\fR procedure mounts a zipfile as a VFS.
After this command
executes, files contained in the ZIP archive, \fIarchive\fR, will appear to Tcl to be
regular files at the mount point.
.RS
.PP
With no \fImountpoint\fR, returns the mount point for \fIarchive\fR. With no \fIarchive\fR,
return all archive/mount pairs. If \fImountpoint\fR is specified as an empty
string, mount on file path.
.RE
.TP
\fB::zvfs::unmount \fIarchive\fR
.
Unmounts a previously mounted zip, \fIarchive\fR.
.TP
\fB::zvfs::append\fR \fIarchive\fR ?\fIsource destination\fR? ?\fIsource destination...\fR?
.
This command reads \fIsource\fR files and appends them (using the name
\fIdestination\fR) to the zip archive named \fIarchive\fR. A new zip archive is created
if it does not already exist. If \fIarchive\fR refers to a file which exists but
is not a zip archive, then this command turns \fIarchive\fR into a zip archive by
appending the necessary records and the table of contents. Treat all files
as binary.
.RS
.PP
Note: No duplicate checking is done, so multiple occurances of the same file is
allowed.
.RE
.TP
\fB::zvfs::add\fR ?\fB\-fconfigure \fIoptpairs...\fR? \fIarchive file1\fR ?\fIfile2 ...\fR?
.
This command is similar to \fBzvfs::append\fR in that it adds files to the zip archive
named \fIarchive\fR, however file names are relative the current directory. In
addition, \fBfconfigure\fR is used to apply option pairs to set upon opening of
each file. Otherwise, default translation is allowed for those file
extensions listed in the \fB::zvfs::auto_ext\fR variable. Binary translation will be
used for unknown extensions.
.RS
.PP
NOTE: Use
.QW "\fB\-fconfigure {}\fR"
to use auto translation for all.
.RE
.TP
\fB::zvfs::exists\fR \fIfilename\fR
.
Return TRUE if the given filename exists in the mounted ZVFS and FALSE if it does
not.
.TP
\fB::zvfs::info\fR \fIfile\fR
.
Return information about the given file in the mounted ZVFS. The information
consists of (1) the name of the ZIP archive that contains the file, (2) the
size of the file after decompressions, (3) the compressed size of the file,
and (4) the offset of the compressed data in the archive.
.RS
.PP
Note: querying the mount point gives the start of zip data offset in (4),
which can be used to truncate the zip info off an executable.
.RE
.TP
\fB::zvfs::list\fR ?\fB\-glob\fR|\fB\-regexp\fR? ?\fIpattern\fR?
.
Return a list of all files in the mounted ZVFS. The order of the names in the list
is arbitrary.
.TP
\fB::zvfs::dump\fR \fIzipfile\fR
.
Describe the contents of a zip.
.TP
\fB::zvfs::start\fR \fIzipfile\fR
.
This command strips returns the offset of zip data.
