Supported Formats

Formats	description
xz	Using xz2 crate.
7z	See Requirements section.
zip	Using zip crate.

Examples

• Compress root directory with 4 threads.

use std::path::PathBuf;
use zip_archive::Archiver;

let origin = PathBuf::from("./origin");
let dest = PathBuf::from("./dest");
let thread_count = 4;

let mut archiver = Archiver::new();
archiver.push(origin);
archiver.set_destination(dest);
archiver.set_thread_count(thread_count);

match archiver.archive(){
    Ok(_) => (),
    Err(e) => println!("Cannot archive the directory! {}", e),
};

• Compress each directory using the container’s iterator.

use std::path::PathBuf;
use zip_archive::Archiver;

let origin = PathBuf::from("./origin");
let dest = PathBuf::from("./dest");

let mut archiver = Archiver::new();
archiver.push_from_iter(vec!["./origin/dir1", "./origin/dir2", "./origin/dir3"].into_iter());
archiver.set_destination(dest);
match archiver.archive(){
    Ok(_) => (),
    Err(e) => println!("Cannot archive the directory! {}", e),
};

• Compress directory with .xz format.

use std::path::PathBuf;
use zip_archive::Format;
use zip_archive::{Archiver, get_dir_list_with_depth};

let origin = PathBuf::from("./origin");  // Change to the wanted directory.
let dest = PathBuf::from("./dest");

let mut archiver = Archiver::new();
archiver.push(origin);
archiver.set_destination(dest);
archiver.set_format(Format::Xz); // == `archiver.set_format_str("xz");`
match archiver.archive(){
    Ok(_) => (),
    Err(e) => println!("Cannot archive the directory! {}", e),
};

Requirements for 7z format

To use 7z archiving format, you need to install 7z or get the executable depending on the operating system.

Windows 10

1. Install 7-Zip.
2. Find 7z.exe file in installed program folder and add it to path. Or place it in project root folder.

macOS

1. Download 7-Zip console version executable for macOS.
2. Place 7zz executable to home directory.

Structs

Archiver

Archiver struct.

Enums

Format

The enum of formats that currently supported.
Using this enum, you can set the format of archiving method.

Functions

get_dir_list

Get list of all subdirectories in the rood directory. Not recursive.

get_dir_list_with_depth

Get a list of directories at a specific depth among all subdirectories of the rood directory.
