astral-tokio-tar

A Rust implementation of an async TAR file reader and writer. This library does not currently handle compression, but it is abstract over all I/O readers and writers. Additionally, great lengths are taken to ensure that the entire contents are never required to be entirely resident in memory all at once.

astral-tokio-tar

A tokio-based tar archive reader and writer.

Provenance

This crate is a fork of edera-dev/tokio-tar, which was a fork of vorot93/tokio-tar, which was a fork of dignifiedquire/async-tar, which is based on alexcrichton/tar-rs.

As compared to the async tar crates, this crate includes a variety of performance improvements and missing patches from alexcrichton/tar-rs.

As compared to alexcrichton/tar-rs, this crate features the following modifications:

  • Setting preserve_permissions to false will avoid setting any permissions on extracted files. In alexcrichton/tar-rs, setting preserve_permissions to false will still set read, write, and execute permissions on extracted files, but will avoid setting extended permissions (e.g., setuid, setgid, and sticky bits).

See the changelog for a more detailed list of changes.
