# tardex
A Rust crate to access a file's contents and metadata in a tarball using its
path. It's a "tarball index".
## Why?
The [`tar`](https://lib.rs/crates/tar) crate provides an extensive API but
randomly accessing tarball entries by path is slightly awkward, because it:
* requires mutable access to the `Archive`.
* requires accessing the entries in order each time, not randomly.
Tardex is just a less featureful alternative interface tuned for a particular
use case, built atop it.
## Anticipated features
* [ ] Support hard and symbolic link tarball entries
* [ ] Support directory tarball entries
* [ ] Support `Tardex`, which will require exclusive access to the
underlying reader (`File` is not `Clone`) when reading an Entry and therefore
will need a different API.
