simple-archive
simple-archive
is the simplest possbible crate to handle compressed archives and file streams.
Under the hood it uses the libarchive library to handle data. There is a direct ffi covnersion from the libarchive library that can also be used, but the purpose of the library is to provide a simpler API in the rust world on top of libarchive.
Dependencies
libarchive
must be installed. At the time of this writing the only version tested with the
library is 3.7.4. Older version might work just fine, but it's simply untested
Since libarchive
is an umbrella on top of other libraries, depending on the desired data
format to be handled, additional libraries should also be installed in the system.
Features
- read file formats compatible with libarchive
- filters on top of output format files supported by libarchive
- directly compress source data object with Read+Seek traits
- extract objects from archive data.
Compress files
use std::fs::File;
let output = File::create("tests/fixtures_out/compressed.tar.gz").unwrap();
let mut a = ArchiveWriter::new(output).unwrap();
a.set_output_targz().unwrap();
a.open().unwrap();
a.add_file("/path/to/your/file", "path/inside/output/archive").unwrap();
Uncompress files
use std::fs::File;
let input = File::open("tests/fixtures_out/compressed.tar.gz").unwrap();
let mut a = ArchiveReader::new(output).unwrap();
