Usage

use arkiv::{Result, Archive};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // open the archive from a local file
    let mut archive = arkiv::Archive::open("path/to/archive.tar.xz")?;

    // or download it over HTTP(S) - requires the `download` feature.
    #[cfg(feature="download")]
    let mut archive = {
        let url = "https://github.com/meuter/arkiv-rs/raw/main/tests/sample/sample.tar.zstd";
        arkiv::Archive::download(url)?
    };

    // iterate over entries
    for entry in archive.entries_iter()? {
        let entry = entry?;
        println!("{} {}", entry.size(), entry.path().display());
    }

    // extract the archive (perserves permission on unix targets)
    archive.unpack("/tmp/")?;

    Ok(())
