Readme for libarchive-3.0.2.1
[back to package description]libarchive
This contains Haskell bindings to libarchive. It was created as an alternative to tar and tar-conduit, but it supports more archive formats.
It has a high-level Haskell API for creating and unpacking archives in addition
to the C API. Like the tar package, it can stream from lazy ByteStrings.
Hacking
To run the test suite, first run
make
to download test data.
Performance
libarchive is faster than tar or tar-conduit when unpacking archives.
