THeaderData

HeaderData is a structure used in ReadHeader.

 typedef struct {
   char ArcName[260];
   char FileName[260];
   int Flags;
   int PackSize;
   int UnpSize;
   int HostOS;
   int FileCRC;
   int FileTime;
   int UnpVer;
   int Method;
   int FileAttr;
   char* CmtBuf;
   int CmtBufSize;
   int CmtSize;
   int CmtState;
 } tHeaderData;

Description

• ArcName, FileName, PackSize, UnpSize contain the name of the archive, the name of the file within the archive, size of the file when packed, and the size of the file when extracted, respectively.
• HostOS is there for compatibility with unrar.dll only, and should be set to zero.
• FileCRC is the 32-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check) checksum of the file. If not available, set to zero.
• The Cmt* values can be used to transfer file comment information. They are currently not used in Total Commander, so they may be set to zero.
• FileAttr can be set to any combination of the following values:

Value	Description
0x1	Read-only file
0x2	Hidden file
0x4	System file
0x8	Volume ID file
0x10	Directory
0x20	Archive file
0x3F	Any file

• FileTime contains the date and the time of the file’s last update. Use the following algorithm to set the value:

   FileTime = (year - 1980) << 25 | month << 21 | day << 16 | hour << 11 | minute << 5 | second/2;

Make sure that:

• year is in the four digit format between 1980 and 2100
• month is a number between 1 and 12
• hour is in the 24 hour format
