This is the port of the Microsoft Tape Format / NT Backup reader.
It is in a "work for me" state.
CamlBZ2 provides OCaml bindings for libbz2 (AKA bzip2), a popular compression
library which typically compresses better (i.e., smaller resulting files) than
gzip.
Using CamlBZ2 you can read and write compressed "files", where files can be
anything offering an in_channel/out_channel abstraction (files, sockets, ...).
Also, with CamlBZ2 you can compress and decompress strings in memory using the
bzip2 compression algorithm.
This Objective Caml library provides easy access to compressed files in ZIP
and GZIP format, as well as to Java JAR files. It provides functions
for reading from and writing to compressed files in these formats.
Archive::Any::Lite is a fork of Archive::Any. The main difference is this works
properly even when you fork(), and may require less memory to extract a tarball.
On the other hand, this isn't pluggable (this only supports file formats used in
the CPAN toolchains), and this doesn't check mime types (at least as of this
writing).
Wrapper around Archive::Rar.
This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive
formats. Tarballs, zip files, etc.
Archive::Extract::Libarchive has a similar interface to Archive::Extract, but
instead of using Perl modules and external commands, it uses the libarchive C
libary. It supports many different archive formats and compression algorithms
and is fast.
The Compress::LZ4 module provides an interface to the LZ4 (de)compressor.
This module lets you peek into archives without extracting them.
It currently supports tar files and zip files.
Archive::Rar uses the standard perl module install process
