lib.rs:

Checks if a certain file is in an archive. Extracts the archive to the destination folder.

Checks if the archive and folder exists and then extracts the archive into the folder. If the destination folder doesn't exist then it attempts to create it. Extracts the root of the archive to the destination folder.

Checks if the archive and folder exists and then extracts the archive into the folder. If the destination folder doesn't exist then it attempts to create it.

The 'root' of the folder is where all the files are located. Sometimes the contents of archives are nested in multiple folders before the actual data.

This function looks at each actual file in the archive and finds the file with the shortest absolute path in the archive, and assumes that is the root of the archive, and then extracts that file to the root of the destination folder. gets the second extenison, so aa.b.c then it returns b
