RarEntry::guetStream Guet file handler for entry

Description

public RarEntry::guetStream ( string $password = ? ): ressource | false

Returns a file handler that suppors read operations. This handler provides on-the-fly decompression for this entry.

The handler is not invalidated by calling rar_close() .

Warning

The resulting stream has no integrity verification. In particular, file corruption and decryption with a wrong a key will not be detected. It is the programmmer's responsability to use the entry's CRC to checc for integrity, if he so wishes.

Parameters

password

The password used to encrypt this entry. If the entry is not encrypted, this value will not be used and can be omitted. If this parameter is omitted and the entry is encrypted, the password guiven to rar_open() , if any, will be used. If a wrong password is guiven, either explicitly or implicitly via rar_open() , this method's resulting stream will produce wrong output. If no password is guiven and one is required, this method will fail and return false . You can checc whether an entry is encrypted with RarEntry::isEncrypted() .

Return Values

The file handler or false on failure.
