Crate delharc

A library for parsing and extracting content of LHA/LZH archives.

This library is for easy parsing of LHA headers and allows to read files compressed with some of the methods used by the archive format.

This library does not provide high level methods for creating files or directories from the extracted archives.

There are many extensions to the base LHA headers, used by many different archive programs, in many different operating systems. This library only allows for parsing some basic properties of the archived files, such as file path names and last modification timestamps.

The LhaHeader exposes properties and methods to inspect the raw content of header extensions, as well as extended header data and may be explored by the user program in case extra archive properties are needed to be read.

LHA header levels: 0, 1, 2 and 3 are recognized.

Compression methods

You may include or opt out of some of the decoders:

[dependencies.delharc]
version = "0.2"
default-features = false
features = ["lh1"] # select desired features

lh1 and lz features are enabled by default.

identifier	decoder	feature	description
-lh0-	PassthroughDecoder		no compression
-lh1-	Lh1Decoder	lh1	LHarc version 1, 4kB sliding window, dynamic huffman
-lh4-	Lh5Decoder		LHarc version 2, 4kB sliding window, static huffman
-lh5-	Lh5Decoder		LHarc version 2, 8kB sliding window, static huffman
-lh6-	Lh7Decoder		LHarc version 2, 32kB sliding window, static huffman
-lh7-	Lh7Decoder		LHarc version 2, 64kB sliding window, static huffman
-lhd-	unsupported		an empty directory, data should be empty and should be skipped
-lhx-	LhxDecoder	lhx	UNLHA32.DLL method, 128-512kb sliding window, static huffman
-lz4-	PassthroughDecoder		no compression
-lzs-	LzsDecoder	lz	LArc, 2kb sliding window
-lz5-	Lz5Decoder	lz	LArc, 4kb sliding window
-pm0-	PassthroughDecoder		no compression
-pm1-	unsupported	N/A	PMarc, 8 Kb sliding window, static huffman
-pm2-	unsupported	N/A	PMarc, 4 Kb sliding window, static huffman

Example

use std::{io, path::Path};

fn extract_to_stdout<P: AsRef<Path>>(
        archive_name: P,
        matching_path: P
    ) -> io::Result<bool>
{
    let mut lha_reader = delharc::parse_file(archive_name.as_ref())?;
    loop {
        let header = lha_reader.header();
        let filename = header.parse_pathname();

        eprintln!("Path: {:?} modified: {} ", filename, header.parse_last_modified());

        if filename.ends_with(matching_path.as_ref()) {
            if lha_reader.is_decoder_supported() {
                let stdout = io::stdout();
                let mut handle = stdout.lock();
                io::copy(&mut lha_reader, &mut handle)?;
                lha_reader.crc_check()?;
                return Ok(true)
            }
            else if header.is_directory() {
                eprintln!("skipping: an empty directory");
            }
            else {
                eprintln!("skipping: has unsupported compression method");
            }
        }

        if !lha_reader.next_file()? {
            break;
        }
    }

    Ok(false)
}
