Mixin module

If you prefer using functions instead of the String or File methods, you can include the Ronin::Support::Archive::Mixin module.

require 'ronin/support/archive/mixin'
include Ronin::Support::Archive::Mixin

tar = tar_stream(io)
tar = tar_stream(io, mode: 'w')

tar = tar_open(path)
tar = tar_open(path, mode: 'w')

tar = untar('file.tar') # alias for tar_open(path)
tar = tar('output.tar') # alias for tar_open(path, mode: 'w')

zip = zip_open(path)
zip = zip_open(path, mode: 'w')

zip = unzip('file.zip') # alias for zip_open(path)
zip = zip('output.zip') # alias for zip_open(path, mode: 'w')
