Seamless reading of nested archives
Project description
Allows simplified access to files in nested archives.
Example
Given an archive placed in /tmp/foobar/foo.tar
with this structure:
foo.tar
- foo1
- foo2
- bar.tar
- bar1
- bar2
- foo3.tar.gz
- foo4
- foo5
- foo6.tar.gz
- foo7
- foo8
- abc/
- def
- ghi
This library will allow reading the contents of the files in this nested archive in the following "seamless" manner:
nestedarchive.get("/tmp/foobar/foo.tar/foo1")
nestedarchive.get("/tmp/foobar/foo.tar/abc/def")
nestedarchive.get("/tmp/foobar/foo.tar/bar.tar/bar1")
nestedarchive.get("/tmp/foobar/foo.tar/bar.tar/foo3.tar.gz/foo4")
Globs are also supported - all matches are tried until one is found that (eventually) contains the expected file, e.g.:
- nestedarchive.get("/tmp/foobar/foo.tar/bar.tar/foo*.tar.gz/foo7")
Will first silently try foo3.tar.gz
and fail because it does not contain foo7
, then it will try foo6.tar.gz
and
succeed because foo6.tar.gz
contains foo7
Currently supported extensions:
- tar
- tar.gz
Currently tested operating systems:
- linux
