<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>ajar</strong> may be used as an alternative interface
|
||
|
|
for creating and manipulating Java<sup>tm</sup> Archive (JAR)
|
||
|
|
files. The <strong>ajar</strong> utility combines several of the
|
||
|
|
features found in zip/unzip tools with those of the IBM<SUP>(R)</SUP>
|
||
|
|
Developer Kit for Java <strong>jar</strong> tool. Use <strong>ajar</strong>
|
||
|
|
instead of the jar command when you need a zip or unzip like
|
||
|
|
interface.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Like the <strong>jar</strong> tool, <strong>ajar</strong> lists
|
||
|
|
the contents of jar files, extracts from jar files, creates new jar
|
||
|
|
files and supports many of the zip formats.. Additionally, <strong>
|
||
|
|
ajar</strong> supports adding and deleting files in existing
|
||
|
|
jars.</p>

|
<p><strong>Operands</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <em>jarfile</em> operand specifies the pathname of the jar
|
||
|
|
file being operated on. <em>jarfile</em> must be an Integrated File
|
||
|
|
System (IFS) name.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <em>file</em> operand specifies the pathname of a file or
|
||
|
|
directory. <em>file</em> must be an IFS name.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <em>pattern</em> operand specifies a pattern to match
|
||
|
|
pathnames of files and directories. <em>pattern</em> will match to
|
||
|
|
IFS names. A <em>pattern</em> is a sequence of characters
|
||
|
|
containing one or more of the following meta characters:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt>*</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>matches 0 or more characters</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>?</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>matches any single character</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>[...]</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>matches any single character found within the brackets where
|
||
|
|
"..." represents a set of characters. Ranges are specified by a
|
||
|
|
beginning character, a hyphen, and an ending character. A
|
||
|
|
exclamation ('!') or carrot ('^') following the left bracket means
|
||
|
|
the characters within the brackets are complemented (match anything
|
||
|
|
except the characters within the brackets).</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Patterns must be contained within quotation marks or the meta characters
|
||
|
|
must be preceded by a back slash ('\') to prevent Qshell from
|
||
|
|
interpreting them.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <em>file</em> and <em>pattern</em> operands are used to
|
||
|
|
select the files to be acted upon. Selected files are determined
|
||
|
|
using three sets of files, a candidate set, an exclusion set, and
|
||
|
|
an inclusion set.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt>candidate set</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>The candidate set is determined using the operands listed after
|
||
|
|
<em>jarfile</em> and before any -x or -i. For the list and extract
|
||
|
|
actions the candidate set defaults to all files contained in the
|
||
|
|
jar file. For all other actions there is no default value for the
|
||
|
|
candidate set.</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>exclusion set</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>The exclusion set is determined using all lists of <em>
|
||
|
|
file</em> and <em>pattern</em> operands preceded by a -x and
|
||
|
|
followed by another -x, a -i or the end of the command string. The
|
||
|
|
exclusion set defaults to the empty set.</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>inclusion set</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>The inclusion set is determined using all lists of <em>
|
||
|
|
file</em> and <em>pattern</em> operands preceded by a -i and
|
||
|
|
followed by another -i, a -x or the end of the command string. The
|
||
|
|
inclusion set defaults to all files in the candidate set.</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>All candidate files are selected that are in the inclusion set
|
||
|
|
and not in the exclusion set.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Exit Status</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>0 when all files were processed successfully</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>>0 when an error occurred</li>

<strong>Examples</strong>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>To list all files in a jar file named myjar which is located in
|
||
|
|
the current directory: ajar -l myjar</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To list all .java files in myjar: ajar -l myjar \*.java</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To extract all files from myjar into the current directory:
|
||
|
|
ajar -x myjar</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create a jar named myjar containing all directories and
|
||
|
|
files in the file system hierarchy rooted in the current directory
|
||
|
|
(Note in this example Qshell interprets the '*' and expands it so
|
||
|
|
that the list of candidate files contains all files and directories
|
||
|
|
in the current directory.): ajar -c -r myjar *</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create a jar named myjar containing entries for only the
|
||
|
|
files in the current directory: ajar -c -D myjar *</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create the same jar file without a manifest (which is
|
||
|
|
a zip file for all practical purposes): ajar -c -D -M myjar *
|
||
|
|
<!-- Using -x --></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create a jar named myjar containing all files except .java
|
||
|
|
files in the file system hierarchy rooted in the current directory:
|
||
|
|
ajar -c -r myjar * -x \*.java <!-- Using -i --></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create a jar named myjar containing only the .class files in
|
||
|
|
a file system hierarchy rooted in the current directory: ajar -c -r
|
||
|
|
myjar * -i \*.class <!--Using ==nno-deflate--></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create a jar named myjar without deflating the .java files:
|
||
|
|
ajar -c -r -n java -- myjar * <!-- Using ==sstdin --></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To create a jar named myjar while reading the file list from
|
||
|
|
stdin: ajar -@ -c -r myjar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Sample stdin data:</p>

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<!-- Adding/changing a member --></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To add a file named bar to a jar named myjar: ajar -a myjar bar
|
||
|
|
<!-- Deleting a member --></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>To delete a file named foo/bar from a jar named myjar: ajar -d
|
||
|
|
myjar foo/bar</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<strong>Notes</strong>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Short options can be clustered (for example, -c -v -D is the same as
|
||
|
|
-cvD). Long options (--create, --verbose, --nodirs, ..., and so on.) can
|
||
|
|
be abbreviated as long as the abbreviations are unique.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>File names can be changed when creating a jar or adding a file
|
||
|
|
to a jar. For example, "ajar -c x.jar bin/foo : bin/bar" creates
|
||
|
|
the jar file x.jar from the file bin/foo with a single entry,
|
||
|
|
bin/bar. This can also be done using stdin, "ajar -c@ x.jar", where
|
||
|
|
stdin contains:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
bin/foo : bin/bar
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Use of <strong>ajar</strong> requires the QIBM_MULTI_THREADED
|
||
|
|
environment variable must be set to 'Y'.</li>
