Comprexor

Comprexor is a Rust library for compressing and decompressing files and folders. It uses the popular GZip implementation.

Usage

Compressing

You can use the same function to compress a file or a folder. The output will be a .tar.gz file.

In the following example we are compressing a folder called some-folder-or-file and saving the output to output.tar.gz.

use comprexor::{CompressionLevel, Compressor};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let compressor = Compressor::new("./some-folder-or-file", "./output.tar.gz");
    let compress_info = compressor.compress(CompressionLevel::Maximum)?;

    dbg!(&compress_info.input_size_formatted());
    dbg!(&compress_info.output_size_formatted());
    dbg!(&compress_info.ratio_formatted(5));
}

This will create a file called output.tar.gz in the current directory.

Extracting

You can use the same function to extract a file or a folder. The output will be a folder or a file depending on the input.

In the following example we are decompressing a file called some-folder-or-file.tar.gz, which was created in the previous example, and saving the output to output.

use comprexor::Extractor;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let extractor = Extractor::new("./some-folder-or-file.tar.gz", "./output");
    let extract_info = extractor.extract()?;

    dbg!(&extract_info.input_size_formatted());
    dbg!(&extract_info.output_size_formatted());
    dbg!(&extract_info.ratio_formatted(5));
}

This will create a folder called output in the current directory, which contains the decompressed files.
