Function extract

pub fn extract<S: Read + Seek>(
    source: S,
    target_dir: &Path,
    strip_toplevel: bool,
) -> Result<(), ZipExtractError>

Extracts a zip archive into target_dir.

target_dir is created if it doesn’t exist. Will error if target_dir.parent() doesn’t exist.

If strip_toplevel is true, will strip away the topmost directory. strip_toplevel only applies if all files and directories within the archive are descendants of the toplevel directory.

If you want to read from a source that doesn’t implement Seek, you can wrap it into a Cursor:

use std::io::Cursor;
use std::path::PathBuf;

let bytes: Vec<u8> = vec![];
let target = PathBuf::from("/tmp/target-directory");
zip_extract::extract(Cursor::new(bytes), &target, false);

If on unix, extract will preserve permissions while extracting.
