LibArchive project develops a portable, efficient C library that can read and write streaming archives in a variety of formats. It also includes implementations of the common tar, cpio, and zcat command-line tools that use the libarchive library.
It is a Tcl wrapper for LibArchive.

filesList is a Tcl list of files. I think you can specify a folder at Linux or UNIX-like platform
(but don't do it at Windows platform).
::archive::extract filter variable: all, bzip2, compress, gzip, grzip, lrzip, lzip, lzma, lzop, none, rpm, uu and xz
::archive::extract format variable: all, 7zip, ar, cab, cpio, gnutar, iso9660, lha, mtree, rar, tar, xar and zip
-path option let you specify the output folder (absolute path).
-passwd option let you specify the passphrase to decrypt.
I think libarchvie added this feature >= 3.2.0 and only supported some formats (for example, zip).
::archive::version gets libarchive version.
I only test tcl-archive under openSUSE LEAP 42.3 and Ubuntu 14.04.
Users need install libarchive development files. Below is an example for openSUSE:
sudo zypper in libarchive-devel
Below is an example for Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libarchive-dev
Building under most UNIX systems is easy, just run the configure script and then run make. For more information about the build process, see the tcl/unix/README file in the Tcl src dist. The following minimal example will install the extension in the /opt/tcl directory.
$ cd tcl-archive
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/tcl
$ make
$ make install
If you need setup directory containing tcl configuration (tclConfig.sh), below is an example:
$ cd tcl-archive
$ ./configure --with-tcl=/opt/activetcl/lib
$ make
$ make install
Users can use MSYS2 pacman to install libarchive package.
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libarchive
Then just run the configure script and then run make.
