Reading an archive
extern crate tar;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;
use tar::Archive;
fn main() {
let file = File::open("foo.tar").unwrap();
let mut a = Archive::new(file);
for file in a.entries().unwrap() {
// Make sure there wasn't an I/O error
let mut file = file.unwrap();
// Inspect metadata about the file
println!("{:?}", file.header().path().unwrap());
println!("{}", file.header().size().unwrap());
// files implement the Read trait
let mut s = String::new();
file.read_to_string(&mut s).unwrap();
println!("{}", s);
}
}
Writing an archive
extern crate tar;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;
use tar::Builder;
fn main() {
let file = File::create("foo.tar").unwrap();
let mut a = Builder::new(file);
a.append_path("file1.txt").unwrap();
a.append_file("file2.txt", &mut File::open("file3.txt").unwrap()).unwrap();
