tar-parser

Implementation of a tar archive parser written in rust using nom.

let file = std::fs::read("foo.tar")?;
let (_, entries) = tar_parser2::parse_tar(&file[..])?;
for entry in entries {
    println!("{}", entry.header.name);
}

For more robust example of listing TAR contents, see example ls.

lib.rs:

A nom-based parser for TAR files. This parser only accepts byte slice and doesn't deal with IO.

# fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let file = std::fs::read("foo.tar")?;
# fn parse(file: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + '_>> {
let (_, entries) = tar_parser2::parse_tar(&file[..])?;
for entry in entries {
    println!("{}", entry.header.name);
}
# Ok(())
# }
# parse(&file[..]).unwrap();
# Ok(())
# }
