Hi,

Can anyone point me as to how to list the contents of zip file using ANSI c? Any pointers will be appreciated

Regards

#2 lore raw

Thanks for the information.
I have tried to create a ziptest code with the information found but when I tried to inflate the contents by calling inflate() [line68], I am getting Z_DATA_ERROR citing input data is corrupted or not conforming to zlib format but I can do zipinfo or unzip on the attached ziptest.zip file successfully (and also the zip header is found to be valid by the header validity check done in the program) Can anyone point me as to what should I being more to get rid of this problem?

Thanks in advance

I have tried to create a ziptest code with the information found but when I tried to inflate the contents by calling inflate() [line68], I am getting Z_DATA_ERROR citing input data is corrupted or not conforming to zlib format but I can do zipinfo or unzip on the attached ziptest.zip file successfully (and also the zip header is found to be valid by the header validity check done in the program)
Can anyone point me as to what should I being more to get rid of this problem?

I've found 3 flaws:

1. You're not skipping over the variable-length fields (file name and extra field) at the end of the header; add:

	fseek(file, SH(&h[LOCFIL]), SEEK_CUR);
	fseek(file, SH(&h[LOCEXT]), SEEK_CUR);

after reading the header but before calling inf().

2. You're trying to inflate() everything up to end-of-file, when you should be using the compressed length from the header (LOCSIZ) to determine how much compressed data is available (even with only one file, the central directory occurs at the end of the file).

3. This one wasn't obvious until I looked at the unzip source code. You need to call inflateInit2(&strm, -15) rather than inflateInit(), in order to have it process "raw" data. zlib.h says:

windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw inflate. In this case, -windowBits
determines the window size. inflate() will then process raw deflate data, not looking for a zlib or gzip header, not generating a check value, and not looking for any check values for comparison at the end of the stream. This is for use with other formats that use the deflate compressed data format such as zip. ...

IOW, inflateInit() expects the data to be "wrapped" with a zlib or gzip header and trailer, but ZIP files don't have these.

After fixing the above issues, I get C source code on stdout.

Thanks Glynn.
I tried to rectify the flaw and now I am getting the whole file contents from the zip file, ie., it is outputting the contents of the file stored in the zipfile. But Actually, I wanted only to list the content of the zip file as zipinfo does.

I tried to rectify the flaw and now I am getting the whole file contents from the zip file, ie., it is outputting the contents of the file stored in the zipfile.
But Actually, I wanted only to list the content of the zip file as zipinfo does.

In which case, rather than inflating the data, just skip the number of bytes indicated by the compressed size field (LOCSIZ), and you should find a data descriptor, then another header (not necessarily another local file header; the last file will be followed by a central directory header).

But for listing, you're probably better off just listing the central directory, which is found at the end of the file.

This will work even if there is other data at the beginning of the file (e.g. self-extracting EXEs have the EXE portion at the beginning of the file and the ZIP data at the end).

I found the unzip source code to be rather messy, due to all of the platform-specific sections. You might be better off referring to the format specification at:

Hi All,

Is it possible to output the content of a particular file from a zip file?
For example, in the attached ziptest.c I want to get the contents of a particular file Class3.class from testclasses.zip into a buffer, can anyone point out what I need to change in the code?

Thx in advance

Is it possible to output the content of a particular file from a zip file? For example, in the attached ziptest.c I want to get the contents of a particular file Class3.class from testclasses.zip into a buffer, can anyone point out what I need to change in the code?

Iterate over the files until you find the right one. Either start by locating the first local file header, then each subsequent one, or locate the central directory and iterate over the file headers which are stored there.

For the first method, given the offset of one local file header, the next one should be located 30 + "file name length" + "extra field length"
+ "compressed size" + 12 bytes further on.

For the second method, the offset from one entry to the next is 46 + "file name length" + "extra field length" + "file comment length".

The start of the central directory can be found from the end of central directory record, which is at the end of the file. The length is variable, so you have to scan backwards for the signature (50 4b 05 06), then verify that the offset is 22 + "ZIP file comment length" bytes before the end of the file).

Thanks. I tried finding the central directory and list the contents which I am now able to do. I got the match also but I am not sure how would I get the contents once I get the match. I tried fopen but it fails with "No such file or directory"
Attached is my code

Thanks. I tried finding the central directory and list the contents which I am now able to do. I got the match also but I am not sure how would I get the contents once I get the match.

Once you've located the correct file header in the central directory, the "relative offset of local header" field will allow you to find the corresponding local file header, and the compressed data will be after that.
