Command-line tarball utility written in Rust.
This tool is a work in progress. Currently it supports two operations: list and unpack. If the tarball contains more than one file not in a common directory, the files are unpacked into a new directory with a name based on the tarball. This ensures that an ill-mannered tarball cannot bomb the output directory.
-
Pack command(s): this command will create a tarball. The interface here needs a bit of thought since you need to control both the file inputs and their paths within the tarball. With
taryou typically do this by adding a-C, not sure if that's the most convenient way forward yet though. -
Automatic decompression -- the unpack command should be able to handle gz, xz, bz2, lz4, etc.
-
Automatic compression -- same for the pack command.
