[![Dependencies of latest version on Hackage](https://img.shields.io/hackage-deps/v/libarchive.svg)](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/libarchive)

This contains Haskell bindings to
[libarchive](http://libarchive.org/). It was created as an alternative to
[tar](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tar), 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 `ByteString`s.
