ark::archive::Archive

This class represents an archive. It effectively wraps libarchive with C++ semantics.

Archive(std::filesystem::path path, ArchiveMode mode)
Constructor. Opens the archive at the given path with the specified mode.
Archive(core::ByteBuffer buffer)
Constructor. Opens the archive against the given byte buffer in read mode.
~Archive()
Destructor. Closes (if not closed already) and releases any memory.
void close()

void write_file(const std::filesystem::path & source_path, const std::string & destination_name)
Writes the given path to the archive, copying over its current permissions.
void write_content(const std::string & content, const std::string & destination_name, std::chrono::system_clock::time_point creation_time)
Writes the given content to the archive, storing it under the destination name.
void extract_to(const std::filesystem::path & destination)
Extracts all files in the archive to the given destination path.
core::ByteBuffer extract_entry(const std::string & source_name)
Extracts the given path from the archive, returning it in a byte buffer.
