A library for encoding/decoding Unix archive files.
Documentation
//! Extracts files from an archive.
//!
//! To extract all files from an archive into the current directory, run:
//!
//! ```shell
//! cargo run --example extract <path/to/archive.a>
//! ```
//!
//! This is roughly equivalent to running:
//!
//! ```shell
//! ar -x <path/to/archive.a>
//! ```
