tokio-tar

A Rust implementation of an async TAR file reader and writer. This library does not currently handle compression, but it is abstract over all I/O readers and writers. Additionally, great lengths are taken to ensure that the entire contents are never required to be entirely resident in memory all at once.

tokio-tar

A tar archive reading/writing library for async Rust.


Based on the great tar-rs.

Reading an archive

use tokio::io::stdin;
use tokio::prelude::*;

use tokio_tar::Archive;

fn main() {
    tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async {
        let mut ar = Archive::new(stdin());
        let mut entries = ar.entries().unwrap();
        while let Some(file) = entries.next().await {
            let f = file.unwrap();
            println!("{}", f.path().unwrap().display());
        }
    });
}

Writing an archive

use tokio::fs::File;
use tokio_tar::Builder;

fn main() {
    tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async {
        let file = File::create("foo.tar").await.unwrap();
        let mut a = Builder::new(file);

        a.append_path("README.md").await.unwrap();
        a.append_file("lib.rs", &mut File::open("src/lib.rs").await.unwrap())
            .await
            .unwrap();
    });
}
