libarchive
This contains Haskell bindings to libarchive. It was created as an alternative to tar and tar-archive, but it supports more archive formats.
It has a high-level Haskell API for creating and unpacking archives in addition
to the C API. Like the tar package, it can stream from lazy ByteStrings.
Hacking
To run the test suite, first run
make
so that you have appropriate test data downloaded.
Performance
libarchive is faster than tar or tar-conduit when unpacking archives.
