hrx - human readable archiver

hrx is a command line interface for working with .hrx files, which are human readable archives, typically used in writing unit tests.

For details on the HRX file format, see: https://github.com/google/hrx

Installation

> go install github.com/go-coreutils/hrx/cmd/hrx@latest

Usage

$ hrx -h
usage: hrx [global options] <-l|-c|-x> -f <archive> [pathnames...]
       hrx --help
       hrx --list -f existing.hrx
       hrx --create -f new.hrx <path> [paths...]
       hrx --extract -f existing.hrx [pathnames...]

Help

$ hrx --help
NAME:
   hrx - human-readable archive (.hrx) utility

USAGE:
   hrx [global options] <-l|-c|-x> -f <archive> [pathnames...]

VERSION:
   v0.5.x

DESCRIPTION:
   hrx is like the tar command except that the archives are human readable.

   These archives are in a plain-text, human-friendly format for defining multiple
   virtual text files in a single physical file, for situations when creating many
   physical files is undesirable, such as defining datasets for unit test cases.

   OPERATIONS:

     There are currently three operational modes that can be performed:

       --list     (-l)
       --create   (-c)
       --extract  (-x)

     All modes require the --archive (-f) flag.

   EXAMPLES:

     # list the contents of an archive named "custom-name.hrx"
     hrx -lf custom-name.hrx

     # create a new archive named "custom-name.hrx" with all files named "files"
     # with any extension
     hrx -cf custom-name.hrx files.*

     # extract an archive named "custom-name.hrx" into a sub-directory named
     # "custom-name"
     hrx -xf custom-name.hrx


GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --help         show detailed help
   --usage, -h    show brief usage 
   --verbose, -v  output progress 
   --version, -V  display the version

   OPERATIONS

   --create, -c   create a new archive 
   --extract, -x  extract an existing archive 
   --list, -l     list all archive entries 

   SETTINGS

   --all, -a                      include hidden files and directories 
   --archive value, -f value      specify the archive file
   --boundary value, -b value     specify the entry boundary size 
   --directory value, -o value    specify the output directory
   --keep-empty, -k               include empty files and directories 
   --prune-dir, -P                remove the top directory from all pathnames
