Specification

Manifest

You can define an archive entry with a manifest.

It is an executable that returns any resource file from:

• the archive data uri
• the path entry

It follows the following format:

kind: archive-entry
spec:
  # The data uri of the archive
  data-uri: https://downloads.mysql.com/docs/world-db.tar.gz
  data-def:
    # The path of the file in the archive
    entry-path: world-db/world.sql

where:

• entry-path is the entry path

Data Uri

The archive entry manifest is an executable that returns any resource file

The data uri is therefore a runtime data uri.

(name--archive-entry.yml@executableConnection)@executionConnection

where:

• name–archive-entry.yml is the path of the archive entry manifest from the executableConnection directory
• executableConnection is a file connection
• executionConnection is a file connection where the entry is extracted

Columns

When reporting on an archive, the records contains the following archive entry columns (ie property):

• path: the path
• media_type: the media type
• size: the size
• update-time: the last modified time

Path

The path of an file entry

Media Type

The media type of an entry is:

• a directory for a directory
• otherwise it's derived from its path

Size

The size reporting may be not reported. It depends on the archive format.
