This library provides Ruby FFI bindings to the well-known libarchive library.
NOTE This gem is refactored / optimized version of ffi-libarchive with more tests to cover almost use-cases.
Ensure that you have libarchive
installed.
-
On Debian/Ubuntu:
$ apt install libarchive13
-
On macOS with Homebrew:
$ brew install libarchive
-
On Windows with msys2:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libarchive
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ffi_libarchive'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ffi_libarchive
To extract an archive into the current directory:
flags = Archive::EXTRACT_PERM
reader = Archive::Reader.open_filename('/path/to/archive.tgz')
reader.each_entry do |entry|
reader.extract(entry, flags)
end
reader.close
To create a tar-gzipped archive:
Archive.write_open_filename('my.tgz', Archive::COMPRESSION_GZIP, Archive::FORMAT_TAR_PAX_RESTRICTED) do |tar|
content = File.read 'some_path'
size = content.size
tar.new_entry do |e|
e.pathname = 'some_path'
e.size = size
e.filetype = Archive::Entry::FILE
tar.write_header e
tar.write_data content
end
end
After checking out the repo, run bundle install
to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake
to run the tests.
You can also run irb -r bundler/setup -r ffi_libarchive
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
.
