Overview ¶
Package archiver facilitates convenient, cross-platform, high-level archival and compression operations for a variety of formats and compression algorithms.
This package and its dependencies are written in pure Go (not cgo) and have no external dependencies, so they should run on all major platforms. (It also comes with a command for CLI use in the cmd/arc folder.)
Each supported format or algorithm has a unique type definition that implements the interfaces corresponding to the tasks they perform. For example, the Tar type implements Reader, Writer, Archiver, Unarchiver, Walker, and several other interfaces.
The most common functions are implemented at the package level for convenience: Archive, Unarchive, Walk, Extract, CompressFile, and DecompressFile. With these, the format type is chosen implicitly, and a sane default configuration is used.
To customize a format's configuration, create an instance of its struct with its fields set to the desired values. You can also use and customize the handy Default* (replace the wildcard with the format's type name) for a quick, one-off instance of the format's type.
To obtain a new instance of a format's struct with the default config, use the provided New*() functions. This is not required, however. An empty struct of any type, for example &Zip{} is perfectly valid, so you may create the structs manually, too. The examples on this page show how either may be done.
See the examples in this package for an idea of how to wield this package for common tasks. Most of the examples which are specific to a certain format type, for example Zip, can be applied to other types that implement the same interfaces. For example, using Zip is very similar to using Tar or TarGz (etc), and using Gz is very similar to using Sz or Xz (etc).
When creating archives or compressing files using a specific instance of the format's type, the name of the output file MUST match that of the format, to prevent confusion later on. If you absolutely need a different file extension, you may rename the file afterward.
Values in this package are NOT safe for concurrent use. There is no performance benefit of reusing them, and since they may contain important state (especially while walking, reading, or writing), it is NOT recommended to reuse values from this package or change their configuration after they are in use.

Functions ¶
func Archive ¶
Archive creates an archive of the source files to a new file at destination. The archive format is chosen implicitly by file extension.
Example ¶
The simplest use of this package: create an archive file from a list of filenames. This is the recommended way to do so using a default configuration, as it guarantees the file format matches the file extension, because the format to write is determined by the given extension.
// any files in this list are added // to the top level of the archive; // directories are recursively added files := []string{ "index.html", "photo.jpg", "blog", // directory "/home/website/copyright.txt", } // archive format is determined by file extension err := Archive(files, "blog_site.zip") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func ByExtension ¶
ByExtension returns an archiver and unarchiver, or compressor and decompressor, based on the extension of the filename.
func CompressFile ¶
CompressFile is a convenience function to simply compress a file. The compression algorithm is selected implicitly based on the destination's extension.
Example ¶
This example compresses a standard tar file into a tar.gz file. Compression formats are selected by file extension.
err := CompressFile("example.tar", "example.tar.gz") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
Example (Custom) ¶
This example changes the default configuration for the Gz compression format.
DefaultGz.CompressionLevel = 5 // any calls to DefaultGz now use the modified configuration
Output:
func DecompressFile ¶
DecompressFile is a convenience function to simply compress a file. The compression algorithm is selected implicitly based on the source's extension.
Example ¶
This example decompresses a gzipped tarball and writes it to an adjacent file.
err := DecompressFile("example.tar.gz", "example.tar") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func Extract ¶
Extract extracts a single file from the given source archive. If the target is a directory, the entire folder will be extracted into destination. The archive format is chosen implicitly.
Example ¶
This example extracts target.txt from inside example.rar and puts it into a folder on disk called output/dir.
err := Extract("example.rar", "target.txt", "output/dir") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func NameInArchive ¶
NameInArchive returns a name for the file at fpath suitable for the inside of an archive. The source and its associated sourceInfo is the path where walking a directory started, and if no directory was walked, source may == fpath. The returned name is essentially the components of the path between source and fpath, preserving the internal directory structure.
func Unarchive ¶
Unarchive unarchives the given archive file into the destination folder. The archive format is selected implicitly.
Example ¶
The simplest use of this package: extract all of an archive's contents to a folder on disk using the default configuration. The archive format is determined automatically.
err := Unarchive("blog_site.zip", "extracted/mysite") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func Walk ¶
Walk calls walkFn for each file within the given archive file. The archive format is chosen implicitly.
Example ¶
It's easy to list the items in an archive. This example prints the name and size of each file in the archive. Like other top-level functions in this package, the format is inferred automatically for you.
err := Walk("example.tar.gz", func(f File) error { fmt.Println(f.Name(), f.Size()) // you could also read the contents; f is an io.Reader! return nil }) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
Types ¶
type Archiver ¶
type Archiver interface { ExtensionChecker // Archive adds all the files or folders in sources // to an archive to be created at destination. Files // are added to the root of the archive, and directories // are walked and recursively added, preserving folder // structure. Archive(sources []string, destination string) error }

Example (Custom) ¶
Here we create our own instance of the Zip format. No need to use the constructor function (NewZip) or the default instance (DefaultZip) if we do not want to. Instantiating the type like this allows us to easily be very explicit about our configuration.
z := &Zip{ CompressionLevel: 3, OverwriteExisting: false, MkdirAll: true, SelectiveCompression: true, ImplicitTopLevelFolder: true, ContinueOnError: false, } // z is now ready to use for whatever (this is a dumb example) fmt.Println(z.CheckExt("test.zip"))
Output:
Example (Default) ¶
In this example, the DefaultZip is being customized so that all calls to its methods will use that configuration.
DefaultZip.OverwriteExisting = true DefaultZip.ImplicitTopLevelFolder = true // any subsequent use of DefaultZip uses // this modified configuration
Output:
Example (StreamingRead) ¶
This example demonstrates how to read an archive in a streaming fashion. The idea is that you can stream the bytes of an archive from a stream, regardless of whether it is an actual file on disk. This means that you can read a huge archive file-by-file rather than having to store it all on disk first. In this example, we read a hypothetical archive from a (fake) HTTP request body and print its file names and sizes. The files can be read, of course, but they do not have to be.
// for the sake of the example compiling, pretend we have an HTTP request req := new(http.Request) contentLen, err := strconv.Atoi(req.Header.Get("Content-Length")) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // the Zip format requires knowing the length of the stream, // but other formats don't generally require it, so it // could be left as 0 when using those err = DefaultZip.Open(req.Body, int64(contentLen)) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer DefaultZip.Close() // Note that DefaultZip now contains some state that // is critical to reading the stream until it is closed, // so do not reuse it until then. // iterate each file in the archive until EOF for { f, err := DefaultZip.Read() if err == io.EOF { break } if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // f is an io.ReadCloser, so you can read its contents // if you wish; or you can access its header info through // f.Header or the embedded os.FileInfo fmt.Println("File name:", f.Name(), "File size:", f.Size()) // be sure to close f before moving on!! err = f.Close() if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } }
Output:
Example (StreamingWrite) ¶
This example demonstrates how to write an archive in a streaming fashion. The idea is that you can stream the bytes of a new archive that is created on-the-fly from generic streams. Those streams could be actual files on disk, or they could be over a network, or standard output, or any other io.Reader/io.Writer. This example only adds one file to the archive and writes the resulting archive to standard output, but you could add as many files as needed with a loop.
err := DefaultZip.Create(os.Stdout) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer DefaultZip.Close() // Note that DefaultZip now contains state // critical to a successful write until it // is closed, so don't reuse it for anything // else until then. // At this point, you can open an actual file // to add to the archive, or the "file" could // come from any io.ReadCloser stream. If you // only have an io.Reader, you can use // ReadFakeCloser to make it into an // io.ReadCloser. // The next part is a little tricky if you // don't have an actual file because you will // need an os.FileInfo. Fortunately, that's an // interface! So go ahead and implement it in // whatever way makes the most sense to you. // You'll also need to give the file a name // for within the archive. In this example, // we'll open a real file. file, err := os.Open("foo.txt") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer file.Close() fileInfo, err := file.Stat() if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } err = DefaultZip.Write(File{ FileInfo: FileInfo{ FileInfo: fileInfo, CustomName: "name/in/archive.txt", }, ReadCloser: file, // does not have to be an actual file }) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func NewZip ¶
func NewZip() *Zip
NewZip returns a new, default instance ready to be customized and used.
func (*Zip) Archive ¶
Archive creates a .zip file at destination containing the files listed in sources. The destination must end with ".zip". File paths can be those of regular files or directories. Regular files are stored at the 'root' of the archive, and directories are recursively added.
Example ¶
Much like the package-level Archive function, this creates an archive using the configuration of the Zip instance it is called on. The output filename must match the format's recognized file extension(s).
err := DefaultZip.Archive([]string{"..."}, "example.zip") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func (*Zip) Extract ¶
Extract extracts a single file from the zip archive. If the target is a directory, the entire folder will be extracted into destination.
func (*Zip) Match ¶
func (*Zip) Match(file io.ReadSeeker) (bool, error)
Match returns true if the format of file matches this type's format. It should not affect reader position.
func (*Zip) Open ¶
Open opens z for reading an archive from in, which is expected to have the given size and which must be an io.ReaderAt.
func (*Zip) Read ¶
Read reads the next file from z, which must have already been opened for reading. If there are no more files, the error is io.EOF. The File must be closed when finished reading from it.
func (*Zip) Unarchive ¶
Unarchive unpacks the .zip file at source to destination. Destination will be treated as a folder name.
