The methods of the TarInputStream class are listed below. For a complete list of TarInputStream class members, see the TarInputStream Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 BeginRead (inherited from Stream) | Begins an asynchronous read operation. |
| BeginWrite (inherited from Stream) | Begins an asynchronous write operation. |
| Close | Closes this stream. Calls the TarBuffer's close() method. The underlying stream is closed by the TarBuffer. |
| CopyEntryContents | Copies the contents of the current tar archive entry directly into an output stream. |
| CreateObjRef (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. |
| EndRead (inherited from Stream) | Waits for the pending asynchronous read to complete. |
| EndWrite (inherited from Stream) | Ends an asynchronous write operation. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| Flush | Flushes the baseInputStream |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. |
| GetNextEntry | Get the next entry in this tar archive. This will skip over any remaining data in the current entry, if there is one, and place the input stream at the header of the next entry, and read the header and instantiate a new TarEntry from the header bytes and return that entry. If there are no more entries in the archive, null will be returned to indicate that the end of the archive has been reached. |
| GetRecordSize | Get the record size being used by this stream's TarBuffer. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| InitializeLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. |
| Mark | Since we do not support marking just yet, we do nothing. |
| Read | Reads bytes from the current tar archive entry. This method is aware of the boundaries of the current entry in the archive and will deal with them appropriately |
| ReadByte | Reads a byte from the current tar archive entry. This method simply calls read(byte[], int, int). |
| Reset | Since we do not support marking just yet, we do nothing. |
| Seek | Set the streams position. This operation is not supported and will throw a NotSupportedException |
| SetEntryFactory | Set the entry factory for this instance. |
| SetLength | Sets the length of the stream This operation is not supported and will throw a NotSupportedException |
| Skip | Skip bytes in the input buffer. This skips bytes in the current entry's data, not the entire archive, and will stop at the end of the current entry's data if the number to skip extends beyond that point. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
| Write | Writes a block of bytes to this stream using data from a buffer. This operation is not supported and will throw a NotSupportedException |
| WriteByte | Writes a byte to the current position in the file stream. This operation is not supported and will throw a NotSupportedException |
Protected Instance Methods
 CreateWaitHandle (inherited from Stream) | Allocates a WaitHandle object. |
| Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
