# Simple Archiver
|
|
|
|
This program ~~is not yet~~ almost finished! Basic functionality is implemented
|
|
and only some advanced features are missing. You can track progress
|
|
[here](https://git.seodisparate.com/stephenseo/SimpleArchiver/projects/3).
|
|
|
|
This program exists because I could not get `tar` or `ar` to compile with
|
|
[Cosmopolitan](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html). Thus, this
|
|
archiver will be written with support for Cosmopolitan in mind. This means
|
|
sticking to the C programming language and possibly using Cosmopolitan-specfic
|
|
API calls.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage flags:
|
|
-c : create archive file
|
|
-x : extract archive file
|
|
-t : examine archive file
|
|
-f <filename> : filename to work on
|
|
Use "-f -" to work on stdout when creating archive or stdin when reading archive
|
|
--compressor <full_compress_cmd> : requires --decompressor
|
|
--decompressor <full_decompress_cmd> : requires --compressor
|
|
Specifying "--decompressor" when extracting overrides archive file's stored decompressor
|
|
--overwrite-create : allows overwriting an archive file
|
|
--overwrite-extract : allows overwriting when extracting
|
|
--no-abs-symlink : do not store absolute paths for symlinks
|
|
-- : specifies remaining arguments are files to archive/extract
|
|
If creating archive file, remaining args specify files to archive.
|
|
If extracting archive file, remaining args specify files to extract.
|
|
|
|
Note that `--compressor` and `--decompressor` cmds must accept data from stdin
|
|
and return processed data to stdout.
