# Zap
Compress and/or encrypt folders fast. Like, really fast.
or as some say... **blazingly** fast.
## Installation
To install Zap, run the following command from the project root:
`cargo install --path .`
## Usage
### In order to **compress** a folder with Zap, run:
`zap archive [INPUT] [OUTPUT]`
Where the `[OUTPUT]` is the path to which you want to store the `.zap` file. Eg:
```
zap archive /path/to/dir ./dir.zap -ce
```
Using `zap archive --help` will list the available options for encryption and compression.
### In order to **decompress** a Zap archive
`zap extract [ARCHIVE] [OUTPUT]`
Where the `[ARCHIVE]` is the path to the file which you want to extract and the `[OUTPUT]` is the folder in which you want the contents to be placed inside.
Using `zap archive --help` will list the available options for encryption and compression.
```
zap extract ./dir.zap ./dir -ce
```
Unfortunately, in it's current state, that compression and encryption methods aren't stored in metadata and must be given when extracting. this will be fixed in coming releases.
### In order to **list** the contents of a Zap archive
`zap list [ARCHIVE]`
*coming soon*
