A Ruby FFI binding to [libarchive][0].
This library provides Ruby FFI bindings to the well-known libarchive library.
Ensure that you have libarchive installed. On Debian/Ubuntu:
apt install libarchive13
On macOS with Homebrew:
brew install 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.to_i)
end
reader.close
To create a gzipped tar 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
