The Lua Archive library can read and write compressed files in a variety of formats. Modules are provided for direct compression and decompression (zlib, bzip2), reading simply compressed files (gz, bz2), and for working with multi-file archives (tar, zip). Other formats, such as lzma, will be added soon.
Using zlib:
decompressed = larc.zlib.decompress(compressed)
z = larc.zlib.compressor{level=9}
file:write(z(string.rep('a',100)))
file:write(z(string.rep('b',100)))
file:write(z()) -- flushes the output
Reading a bz2 file:
bz2 = larc.bzfile.open("test.bz2")
print(bz2:read("*line"))
Reading a zip file:
zip = larc.zipfile.open("test.zip")
for file in zip:names() do
if string.match(file, "%.txt$") then
zip:extract(file)
end
end
Lua Archive has a BSD-like license.
