tarkit 0.1.3

You want to add pod 'tarkit', '~> 0.1' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'tarkit', '~> 0.1'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try tarkit

untar and tar files on iOS and OS X. Also supports gzip tars.

Example

Untar

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString* dataPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"test.tar.gz"];
NSString* toPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"testDir"];
[DCTar decompressFileAtPath:dataPath toPath:toPath error:nil];

Tar

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString* toPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"test.tar.gz"];
NSString* dataPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"testDir"];
[DCTar compressFileAtPath:dataPath toPath:toPath error:nil];

Discussion

It is important to know that all the file system based tar commands used chunked/buffer methods to save memory. Due to the fact that tars are normally used to compress lots of content, It is strongly recommend to use those method versus the in memory data options.

I got some of the tar code from here:
