pull-tar-extract

tar parser pull-stream. based on tar-stream.

Usage

pull-tar-extract exposes a function which returns a through-stream which consumes a tar file and produces a stream of entries. Each entry is an object with a header object property and read function property which is a pull-stream source of the contents of that entry (or is empty if the entry is not a file). The entry stream (entry.read function) must be drained before the next entry can be read.

var Extract = require('pull-tar-extract')
var pull = require('pull-stream')
var fs = require('fs')

pull(
  pull.once(fs.readFileSync('package.tar')),
  Extract(),
  pull.drain(function (entry) {
    console.log('entry:', entry.header.name)
    pull(entry.read, pull.collect(function (err, bufs) {
      if (err) throw err
      var data = Buffer.concat(bufs)
      console.log('contents:', data.toString('ascii'))
    }))
  }, function (err) {
    if (err) throw err
    // done
  })
)
