# sqlarfs

A file archive format and virtual filesystem backed by a SQLite database.

This library is a Rust implementation of the
[sqlar](https://sqlite.org/sqlar.html) format for SQLite archive files.

This library consists of:

- A Rust API
- A CLI
- TODO: A FUSE filesystem

## Rust API

To add this library to your project:

```shell
cargo add sqlarfs
```

See the [API docs](https://docs.rs/sqlarfs) for documentation and examples.

## CLI

### Installation

To install the CLI tool, [install
Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) and run:

```shell
cargo install sqlarfs-cli
```

The binary will be installed to `~/.cargo/bin/sqlar`.

### Examples

Archive directory and extract it to a target directory:

```shell
sqlar create ./src
sqlar extract -a src.sqlar ~/Desktop
```

Archive two directories and extract them to the current directory:

```shell
sqlar create -a files.sqlar ~/Documents ~/Pictures
sqlar extract -a files.sqlar
```

Extract a specific file from an archive:

```shell
sqlar extract -a documents.sqlar -s Documents/report.pdf
```

Add a file to an existing archive.

```shell
sqlar archive -a documents.sqlar ~/Downloads/report.pdf Documents/report.pdf
```

List all regular files in an archive:

```shell
sqlar list -a documents.sqlar -t file
```

List only the immediate children of a specific directory in an archive:

```shell
sqlar list -a documents.sqlar --children Documents/Reports/
```

Remove a file from an archive:

```shell
sqlar remove -a documents.sqlar Documents/report.pdf
```

The tool has a shorthand syntax for each command:

```shell
sqlar c -a files.sqlar ~/Documents ~/Pictures
sqlar ex -a files.sqlar
sqlar ls -a files.sqlar
sqlar rm -a files.sqlar Documents
```
