ZenFS Archive Backends

ZenFS backends for archive files.

This packages adds some backends that allow you to create readonly file systems:

• Zip for .zip files (PK Zip).
• Iso for .iso files (ISO 9660).
• Tar for .tar files. The POSIX/USTAR format is the most compatible, but gnu/oldgnu format tar files are also supported.

For more information, see the API documentation.

Please read the ZenFS core documentation!

Installation

npm install @zenfs/archives
Copy

Usage

The easiest way to get started is by looking at these examples

Zip

import { configure, fs } from '@zenfs/core';
import { Zip } from '@zenfs/archives';

const res = await fetch('http://example.com/archive.zip');

await configure({
	mounts: {
		'/mnt/zip': { backend: Zip, data: await res.arrayBuffer() },
	},
});

const contents = fs.readFileSync('/mnt/zip/in-archive.txt', 'utf-8');
console.log(contents);
Copy

Iso

import { configure, fs } from '@zenfs/core';
import { Iso } from '@zenfs/archives';

const res = await fetch('http://example.com/image.iso');

await configure({
	mounts: {
		'/mnt/iso': { backend: Iso, data: await res.bytes() },
	},
});

const contents = fs.readFileSync('/mnt/iso/in-image.txt', 'utf-8');
console.log(contents);
Copy

The Iso implementation uses information from the OS Dev Wiki and ECMA 119.

Tar

Same as the Iso backend, you pass in the file data as a Uint8Array.
