If zero, the caller guarantees that the +buffer will be valid to read from for the duration of the mount. +.BE +.SH DESCRIPTION +\fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR is a utility function to perform standard application +initialization procedures, taking into account available ZIP archives as +follows: +.IP [1] +If the current application has a mountable ZIP archive, that archive is +mounted under \fIZIPFS_VOLUME\fB/app\fR as a read-only Tcl virtual file +system. \fIZIPFS_VOLUME\fR is usually \fB//zipfs:\fR on all platforms, but +\fBzipfs:\fR may also be used on Windows (due to differences in the +platform's filename parsing). +.IP [2] +If a file named \fBmain.tcl\fR is located in the root directory of that file +system (i.e., at \fIZIPROOT\fB/app/main.tcl\fR after the ZIP archive is +mounted as described above) it is treated as the startup script for the +process. +.IP [3] +If the file \fIZIPROOT\fB/app/tcl_library/init.tcl\fR is present, the +\fBtcl_library\fR global variable in the initial Tcl interpreter is set to +\fIZIPROOT\fB/app/tcl_library\fR. +.IP [4] +If the directory \fBtcl_library\fR was not found in the main application +mount, the system will then search for it as either a VFS attached to the +application dynamic library, or as a zip archive named +\fBlibtcl_\fImajor\fB_\fIminor\fB_\fIpatchlevel\fB.zip\fR either in the +present working directory or in the standard Tcl install location. (For +example, the Tcl 8.7.2 release would be searched for in a file +\fBlibtcl_8_7_2.zip\fR.) That archive, if located, is also mounted read-only. +.PP +On Windows, \fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR has a slightly different signature, since +it uses WCHAR in stead of char. As a result, it requires your application to +be compiled with the UNICODE preprocessor symbol defined (e.g., via the +\fB-DUNICODE\fR compiler flag). +.PP +The result of \fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR is a Tcl result code (e.g., \fBTCL_OK\fR +when the function is successful). The function \fImay\fR modify the variables +pointed to by \fIargcPtr\fR and \fIargvPtr\fR to remove arguments; the +current implementation does not do so, but callers \fIshould not\fR assume +that this will be true in the future. +.PP +\fBTclzipfs_Mount\fR mounts the ZIP archive \fIzipname\fR on the mount point +given in \fImountpoint\fR using the optional ZIP password \fIpassword\fR. +Errors during that process are reported in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR. If +\fImountpoint\fR is a NULL pointer, information on all currently mounted ZIP +file systems is written into \fIinterp\fR's result as a sequence of mount +points and ZIP file names. The result of this call is a standard Tcl result +code. +.PP +\fBTclzipfs_MountBuffer\fR mounts the ZIP archive in the buffer pointed to by +\fIdata\fR on the mount point given in \fImountpoint\fR. The ZIP archive is +assumed to be not password protected. Errors during that process are reported +in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR. The \fIcopy\fR argument determines whether +the buffer is internally copied before mounting or not. The result of this +call is a standard Tcl result code. +.PP +\fBTclzipfs_Unmount\fR undoes the effect of \fBTclzipfs_Mount\fR, i.e., it +unmounts the mounted ZIP file system that was mounted from \fIzipname\fR (at +\fImountpoint\fR). Errors are reported in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR. The +result of this call is a standard Tcl result code. +.PP +\fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR can not be used in stub-enabled extensions. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +zipfs(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +compress, filesystem, zip |
