|
* \anchor faq-non-QIODevice Q. Is there any way to use QuaZipFile in Qt
|
* where you are supposed to use normal (non-zipped) file, but not
|
* through QIODevice API?
|
*
|
* A. Usually not. For example, if you are passing file name to some
|
* database driver (like SQLite), Qt usually just passes this name down
|
* to the 3rd-party library, which is usually does not know anything
|
* about QIODevice and therefore there is no way to pass QuaZipFile as
|
* normal file. However, if we are talking about some place where you
|
* pass file name, and then indirectly use QFile to open it, then it is
|
* a good idea to make overloaded method, which accepts a QIODevice
|
* pointer. Then you would be able to pass QuaZipFile as well as many
|
* other nice things such as QBuffer or QProcess.
|
*
|
* \anchor faq-zip64 Q. Can QuaZIP handle files larger than 4GB? What
|
* about zip64 standard?
|
*
|
* A. Starting with version 0.6, QuaZIP uses Minizip 1.1 with zip64
|
* support which should handle large files perfectly. The zip64 support
|
* in Minizip looks like it's not 100% conforming to the standard, but
|
* 3rd party tools seem to have no problem with the resulting archives.
|
*
|
* \anchor faq-seekable Q. Can QuaZIP write archives to a sequential QIODevice like QTcpSocket?
|
*
|
* A. Not yet. It is not supported by vanilla Minizip (the back-end
|
* QuaZIP uses), although theoretically possible according to the ZIP
|
* standard. It would require some Minizip modifications that would
|
* allow it to detect non-seekable I/O and produce necessary output
|
* structures. QuaZIP already writes data descriptor which is necessary
|
* for non-seekable I/O. The only thing that is apparently left is to
|
* make Minizip fill local headers with correct values and forget about
|
* seeking after closing the file.
