Method Detail

values

public static FileMagic[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (FileMagic c : FileMagic.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static FileMagic valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

valueOf

public static FileMagic valueOf(byte[] magic)

valueOf

public static FileMagic valueOf(java.io.File inp)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Get the file magic of the supplied File

Even if this method returns UNKNOWN it could potentially mean, that the ZIP stream has leading junk bytes

Parameters:

inp - a file to be identified

Throws:

java.io.IOException

valueOf

public static FileMagic valueOf(java.io.InputStream inp)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Get the file magic of the supplied InputStream (which MUST support mark and reset).

If unsure if your InputStream does support mark / reset, use prepareToCheckMagic(InputStream) to wrap it and make sure to always use that, and not the original!

Even if this method returns UNKNOWN it could potentially mean, that the ZIP stream has leading junk bytes

Parameters:

inp - An InputStream which supports either mark/reset

Throws:

java.io.IOException

prepareToCheckMagic

public static java.io.InputStream prepareToCheckMagic(java.io.InputStream stream)

Checks if an InputStream can be reset (i.e. used for checking the header magic) and wraps it if not

Parameters:

stream - stream to be checked for wrapping

Returns:

a mark enabled stream
