Or at least, make it use this by default. The reason being that ByExtension() supports many more formats.

I am following the get started guide found here and I was able to create a zip file from within firebase cloud functions and then successfully uploaded it to google storage.

Once I download it to my mac, the zip file gets extracted and becomes a CPGZ file and expanding that creates a ZIP and so on...

Any ideas what's going on?

It’d be super nice if libarchive aka libCVE had proper, human-readable changelogs with references to security fixes. Right now the NEWS file is so incomplete as to be useless, and the release notes page on the wiki hasn’t been updated in ages.

(samples could also be unit tests for some copy/pasting to make it easier to maintain when breaking changes occur)

• Basic Archive usage

• Basic Reader usage

• Basic Writer usage

• Options usage around leaving streams open

• Archive Encoding usage with auto-detect

Talking about https://docs.pyfilesystem.org/en/latest/reference/walk.html#fs.walk.BoundWalker.dirs and maybe walk.files is affected as well.

The documentation talks about (emphasis by me):

dirs(path='/', **kwargs)
Walk a filesystem, yielding ABSOLUTE paths to directories.

and

filter_dirs (list, optional) – A list of patterns that will be used to match directori

While trying to improve interoperability between casync and desync, I found it useful to have a visualization of the file formats.

Using the .ksy at https://gist.github.com/tomberek/a376495de8f43c65499e85b9d1e388f9 along with the in-browser IDE at https://ide.kaitai.io/# you can explore the file formats for .catar and .caidx (still working on .caibx).

This might make it easier to explain/do

The documentation of the filter option is misleading:

Filter out files before extracting

That's not really true. When you use decompress (say, with decompress-tar or decompress-unzip), it fully decompresses the entire tarball into memory before applying the filter. If you're not using the output feature, the filter option is entirely equivalent to just using Array.filter yourself o

Do you plan on generating declaration files for supporting Typescript?
You could either have them as part of the repo or contribute to https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/

Thanks in advance!

Currently, only SELinux label files are supported. Maybe something similar can be constructed to micro manage arbitrary xattr key/value pairs.
