Determine the format of the core file.

Parameters:

iis - stream to the core file

Returns:

format

Throws:

IOException - re-thrown

isPHDFile

public static boolean isPHDFile(ImageInputStream iis,
 long filesize)
                         throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

isZipFile

public static boolean isZipFile(ImageInputStream iis)
                         throws IOException

Checks to see if the input stream is for a zip file, assumes that the stream is correctly positioned. This method will reset the stream if possible to it's starting position. The reason for using this method over just trying java.util.zip.ZipFile(File) and catching errors is that on some platforms the zip support is provided by native libraries. It is possible to cause the native library to crash when speculatively passing files into it.

Parameters:

in - stream to analyze

Returns:

true if it is a zip file

Throws:

IOException

isZipFile

public static boolean isZipFile(File file)
                         throws IOException

Throws:

IOException
