Zip archive

zip_archive is a library that archive a directory with a specific compression format. Supports multi-threading.

Requirements for 7z format

To use 7z archiving format, you need to install 7z or get the executable depending on the operating system.

Windows 10

1. Install 7-Zip.
2. Find 7z.exe file in installed 7z folder and add it to path. Or place 7z.exe in project root folder.

macOS

1. Download 7-Zip console version executable for macOS.
2. Place 7zz executable to home directory.

Zip archive

zip_archive is a library that archive a directory with a specific compression format. Supports multi-threading.

Supported Formats

Examples

• Compress root directory with 4 threads.

use std::path::PathBuf;
use zip_archive::Archiver;

let origin = PathBuf::from("./origin");
let dest = PathBuf::from("./dest");
let thread_count = 4;

let mut archiver = Archiver::new();
archiver.push(origin);
archiver.set_destination(dest);
archiver.set_thread_count(thread_count);

match archiver.archive(){
    Ok(_) => (),
    Err(e) => println!("Cannot archive the directory! {}", e),
};

• Compress each directory using the container's iterator.

use std::path::PathBuf;
use zip_archive::Archiver;

let origin = PathBuf::from("./origin");
let dest = PathBuf::from("./dest");

let mut archiver = Archiver::new();
archiver.push_from_iter(vec!["./origin/dir1", "./origin/dir2", "./origin/dir3"].into_iter());
archiver.set_destination(dest);
match archiver.archive(){
    Ok(_) => (),
    Err(e) => println!("Cannot archive the directory! {}", e),
};

• Compress directory with .xz format.

use std::path::PathBuf;
use zip_archive::Format;
use zip_archive::{Archiver, get_dir_list_with_depth};

let origin = PathBuf::from("./origin");  // Change to the wanted directory.
let dest = PathBuf::from("./dest");

let mut archiver = Archiver::new();
archiver.push(origin);
archiver.set_destination(dest);
archiver.set_format(Format::Xz); // == `archiver.set_format_str("xz");`
match archiver.archive(){
    Ok(_) => (),
    Err(e) => println!("Cannot archive the directory! {}", e),
};

Requirements for 7z format

To use 7z archiving format, you need to install 7z or get the executable depending on the operating system.

Windows 10

1. Install 7-Zip.
2. Find 7z.exe file in installed program folder and add it to path. Or place it in project root folder.

macOS

1. Download 7-Zip console version executable for macOS.
2. Place 7zz executable to home directory.
