RarArchive::isBroken

rar_broken_is

(PECL rar >= 3.0.0)

RarArchive::isBroken -- rar_broken_is — Test whether an archive is broken (incomplete)

Description

Object-oriented style (method):

public function RarArchive::isBroken(): bool

Procedural style:

function rar_broken_is(RarArchive $rarfile): bool

This function determines whether an archive is incomplete, i.e., if a volume is missing or a volume is truncated.

Parameters

rarfile

A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open().

Return Values

Returns true if the archive is broken, false otherwise. This function may also return false if the passed file has already been closed. The only way to tell the two cases apart is to enable exceptions with RarException::setUsingExceptions(); however, this should be unnecessary as a program should not operate on closed files.

Examples

Example #1 Object-oriented style

<?php
function retnull() { return null; }
$file = dirname(__FILE__) . "/multi_broken.part1.rar";
/* Third argument is used to omit notice */
$arch = RarArchive::open($file, null, 'retnull');
var_dump($arch->isBroken());
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

bool(true)

Example #2 Procedural style

<?php
function retnull() { return null; }
$file = dirname(__FILE__) . "/multi_broken.part1.rar";
/* Third argument is used to omit notice */
$arch = rar_open($file, null, 'retnull');
var_dump(rar_broken_is($arch));
?>
