> CpioArchiveEntry is missing getLinkName
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-690
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-690
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.27.1
> Reporter: Ahmadin Badruddin
> Priority: Major
>
> When trying to extract a cpio file that contains a symbolic link, there is a
> method to check if
> CpioArchiveEntry is a symbolic link (entry.isSymbolicLink()), but there is no
> entry.getLinkName. There is a getName, but we cannot create a symlink without
> the target link.
>
> I'm {color:#FF0000}*hoping*{color} I can write a code to extract symlink from
> a cpio like below code snippets
> {code:java}
> public void extractCpioSymbolicLink(File archiveFile, File targetDirectory)
> throws IOException {
> try (CpioArchiveInputStream cpioInputStream = new
> CpioArchiveInputStream(new FileInputStream(archiveFile))) {
> CpioArchiveEntry entry;
> while ((entry = cpioInputStream.getNextEntry()) != null) {
> if (entry.isSymbolicLink()) {
> String linkTarget = entry.getLinkName(); // Get the link
> target
> File linkFile = new File(targetDirectory, entry.getName());
> // Create the symbolic link using the linkTarget on the
> target system
> Files.createSymbolicLink(linkFile.toPath(),
> Paths.get(linkTarget));
> } else {
> // Handle other file types (regular files, directories) as
> needed
> }
> }
> }
> } {code}
