Creating Archive Files

This feature allows you to create archive files. The code sample demonstrates how to create a TAR archive containing a single file with the content 'Hello World!'.

const fs = require('fs');
const tar = require('compress-commons').tar;
const output = fs.createWriteStream('archive.tar');
const archive = tar.createArchiveStream();
output.on('close', function() {
  console.log('Archive has been finalized.');
});
archive.pipe(output);
archive.entry('file.txt', 'Hello World!', function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  archive.finish();
});

Extracting Archive Files

This feature enables the extraction of archive files. The provided code sample shows how to extract files from a TAR archive, handling each entry and completing the process.

const fs = require('fs');
const tar = require('compress-commons').tar;
const input = fs.createReadStream('archive.tar');
const archive = tar.extractArchiveStream();
input.pipe(archive);
archive.on('entry', function(header, stream, next) {
  stream.on('end', next);
  stream.resume();
});
archive.on('finish', function() {
  console.log('Extraction complete.');
});
