Configuration

Configuration is read from the standard directories for each OS (~/.config/tzar/*.toml). You can add any number of toml files to that directory and they will all be read by tzar at runtime.

The configuration file has the following format:

[command or format]
extract = "command extract ${verbose} ${filename} ${directory}" 
compress = "command compress ${verbose} ${directory} ${filename}" 
show = "command list ${verbose} ${filename}" 
extensions = [".ext1". ".ext2"]
verbose = "-v" 

[another command or format]
extract = "another x${verbose} ${filename} ${directory}" 
compress = "another c${verbose} ${directory} ${filename}" 
show = "another list ${verbose} ${filename}" 
extensions = [".anoth"]
verbose = "v" 

All commands should have the extract, compress, show, extensions and verbose values defined. They are all self explanatory; they define templates for the commands to run, the extensions for these commands, and how you can ask for a verbose output.

They can all contain the following template variables that will be replaced at runtime:

-verbose: Defines how and where to ask for a verbose output (defined in the verbose = variable definition). -filename: The name of the compressed file. Corresponds to <source> in the extract and list subcommands, and to <destination> in the compress subcommand -directory: The target directory. Corresponds to <destination> in the extract and list subcommands, and to <source> in the compress subcommand

TODO

• [-] Add a ton of new file formats
• Document code
• Interactive prompt
• Tests (Don't judge, I'm coding this in the spare time I have during my lunch breaks.)
