Functions

func Clean

func Clean(destinationPath string) error

Clean remove all files and directories in the destination path but not the destination path itself

func Extract

func Extract(reader io.Reader, destinationPath string, maxSize int64) error

Extract extracts a tar archive to the given destination path

Note on security: This function does not currently attempt to fully mitigate zip-slip attacks. This is purposeful as the archive is extracted only after its SHA256 hash has been validated against its reference in the package catalog. This catalog is itself sent over Remote Config which guarantees its integrity.
