archiver archiver GoDoc Linux Build Status Windows Build Status

Introducing Archiver 3.1 - a cross-platform, multi-format archive utility and Go library. A powerful and flexible library meets an elegant CLI in this generic replacement for several of platform-specific, format-specific archive utilities.

Features

Package archiver makes it trivially easy to make and extract common archive formats such as zip and tarball (and its compressed variants). Simply name the input and output file(s). The arc command runs the same on all platforms and has no external dependencies (not even libc). It is powered by the Go standard library and several third-party, pure-Go libraries.

Files are put into the root of the archive; directories are recursively added, preserving structure.

  • Make whole archives from a list of files
  • Open whole archives to a folder
  • Extract specific files/folders from archives
  • Stream files in and out of archives without needing actual files on disk
  • Traverse archive contents without loading them
  • Compress files
  • Decompress files
  • Streaming compression and decompression
  • Several archive and compression formats supported
Format-dependent features
  • Optionally create a top-level folder to avoid littering a directory or archive root with files
  • Toggle overwrite existing files
  • Adjust compression level
  • Zip: store (not compress) already-compressed files
  • Make all necessary directories
  • Open password-protected RAR archives
  • Optionally continue with other files after an error
Supported archive formats
  • .zip
  • .tar
  • .tar.gz or .tgz
  • .tar.bz2 or .tbz2
  • .tar.xz or .txz
  • .tar.lz4 or .tlz4
  • .tar.sz or .tsz
  • .rar (open only)
Supported compression formats
  • bzip2
  • gzip
  • lz4
  • snappy (sz)
  • xz

Install

go get -u github.com/mholt/archiver/cmd/arc

Or download binaries from the releases page.

Command Use

Make new archive
# Syntax: arc archive [archive name] [input files...]

$ arc archive test.tar.gz file1.txt images/file2.jpg folder/subfolder

(At least one input file is required.)

Extract entire archive
# Syntax: arc unarchive [archive name] [destination]

$ arc unarchive test.tar.gz

(The destination path is optional; default is current directory.)

The archive name must end with a supported file extension—this is how it knows what kind of archive to make. Run arc help for more help.

List archive contents
# Syntax: arc ls [archive name]

$ arc ls caddy_dist.tar.gz

Extract a specific file or folder from an archive
# Syntax: arc extract [archive name] [path in archive] [destination on disk]

$ arc extract test.tar.gz foo/hello.txt extracted/hello.txt
Compress a single file
# Syntax: arc compress [input file] [output file]

$ arc compress test.txt compressed_test.txt.gz
$ arc compress test.txt gz

For convenience, the output file (second argument) may simply be a compression format (without leading dot), in which case the output filename will be the same as the input filename but with the format extension appended, and the input file will be deleted if successful.

Decompress a single file
# Syntax: arc decompress [input file] [output file]

$ arc decompress test.txt.gz original_test.txt
$ arc decompress test.txt.gz

For convenience, the output file (second argument) may be omitted. In that case, the output filename will have the same name as the input filename, but with the compression extension stripped from the end; and the input file will be deleted if successful.

Flags

Flags are specified before the subcommand. Use arc help or arc -h to get usage help and a description of flags with their default values.

Library Use

The archiver package allows you to easily create and open archives, walk their contents, extract specific files, compress and decompress files, and even stream archives in and out using pure io.Reader and io.Writer interfaces, without ever needing to touch the disk.

import "github.com/mholt/archiver"

See the package's GoDoc for full API documentation.

For example, creating or unpacking an archive file:

err := archiver.Archive([]string{"testdata", "other/file.txt"}, "test.zip")
// ...
err = archiver.Unarchive("test.tar.gz", "test")

The archive format is determined by file extension. (There are several functions in this package which perform a task by inferring the format from file extension or file header, including Archive(), Unarchive(), CompressFile(), and DecompressFile().)

To configure the archiver used or perform, create an instance of the format's type:

z := archiver.Zip{
	CompressionLevel:       flate.DefaultCompression,
	MkdirAll:               true,
	SelectiveCompression:   true,
	ContinueOnError:        false,
	OverwriteExisting:      false,
	ImplicitTopLevelFolder: false,
}

err := z.Archive([]string{"testdata", "other/file.txt"}, "/Users/matt/Desktop/test.zip")

Inspecting an archive:

err = z.Walk("/Users/matt/Desktop/test.zip", func(f archiver.File) error {
	zfh, ok := f.Header.(zip.FileHeader)
	if ok {
		fmt.Println("Filename:", zfh.Name)
	}
	return nil
})

Streaming files into an archive that is being written to the HTTP response:

err = z.Create(responseWriter)
if err != nil {
	return err
}
defer z.Close()

for _, fname := range filenames {
	info, err := os.Stat(fname)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	
	// get file's name for the inside of the archive
	internalName, err := archiver.NameInArchive(info, fname, fname)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	// open the file
	file, err := os.Open(f)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	// write it to the archive
	err = z.Write(archiver.File{
		FileInfo: archiver.FileInfo{
			FileInfo:   info,
			CustomName: internalName,
		},
		ReadCloser: file,
	})
	file.Close()
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
}

The archiver.File type allows you to use actual files with archives, or to mimic files when you only have streams.

There's a lot more that can be done, too. See the GoDoc for full API documentation.

Security note: This package does NOT attempt to mitigate zip-slip attacks. It is extremely difficult to do properly and seemingly impossible to mitigate effectively across platforms. Attempted fixes have broken processing of legitimate files in production, rendering the program unusable. Our recommendation instead is to inspect the contents of an untrusted archive before extracting it (this package provides Walkers) and decide if you want to proceed with extraction.

Project Values

This project has a few principle-based goals that guide its development:

  • Do our thing really well. Our thing is creating, opening, inspecting, compressing, and streaming archive files. It is not meant to be a replacement for specific archive format tools like tar, zip, etc. that have lots of features and customizability. (Some customizability is OK, but not to the extent that it becomes overly complicated or error-prone.)

  • Have good tests. Changes should be covered by tests.

  • Limit dependencies. Keep the package lightweight.

  • Pure Go. This means no cgo or other external/system dependencies. This package should be able to stand on its own and cross-compile easily to any platform -- and that includes its library dependencies.

  • Idiomatic Go. Keep interfaces small, variable names semantic, vet shows no errors, the linter is generally quiet, etc.

  • Be elegant. This package should be elegant to use and its code should be elegant when reading and testing. If it doesn't feel good, fix it up.

  • Well-documented. Use comments prudently; explain why non-obvious code is necessary (and use tests to enforce it). Keep the docs updated, and have examples where helpful.

  • Keep it efficient. This often means keep it simple. Fast code is valuable.

  • Consensus. Contributions should ideally be approved by multiple reviewers before being merged. Generally, avoid merging multi-chunk changes that do not go through at least one or two iterations/reviews. Except for trivial changes, PRs are seldom ready to merge right away.

  • Have fun contributing. Coding is awesome!

We welcome contributions and appreciate your efforts! However, please open issues to discuss any changes before spending the time preparing a pull request. This will save time, reduce frustration, and help coordinate the work. Thank you!

Documentation

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 

func Archive(sources []string, destination string) error

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 

func ByExtension(filename string) (interface{}, error)

ByExtension returns an archiver and unarchiver, or compressor and decompressor, based on the extension of the filename.

func CompressFile 

func CompressFile(source, destination string) error

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 

func DecompressFile(source, destination string) error

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 

func Extract(source, target, destination string) error

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 

func NameInArchive(sourceInfo os.FileInfo, source, fpath string) (string, error)

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 

func Unarchive(source, destination string) error

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 

func Walk(archive string, walkFn WalkFunc) error

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:

	OverwriteExisting bool

	// Whether to make all the directories necessary
	// to create a zip archive in the desired path.
	MkdirAll bool

	// If enabled, selective compression will only
	// compress files which are not already in a
	// compressed format; this is decided based
	// simply on file extension.
	SelectiveCompression bool

	// A single top-level folder can be implicitly
	// created by the Archive or Unarchive methods
	// if the files to be added to the archive
	// or the files to be extracted from the archive
	// do not all have a common root. This roughly
	// mimics the behavior of archival tools integrated
	// into OS file browsers which create a subfolder
	// to avoid unexpectedly littering the destination
	// folder with potentially many files, causing a
	// problematic cleanup/organization situation.
	// This feature is available for both creation
	// and extraction of archives, but may be slightly
	// inefficient with lots and lots of files,
	// especially on extraction.
	ImplicitTopLevelFolder bool

	// If true, errors encountered during reading
	// or writing a single file will be logged and
	// the operation will continue on remaining files.
	ContinueOnError bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Zip provides facilities for operating ZIP archives. See https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT.

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)
}

func (*Zip) Archive

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).
