partialzip

Partial Implementation of PartialZip in Go

Why?

If you need to download a VERY large zip, but you only need some small file from it, this is a nice optimization to allow you to only extract what you need and nothing else. Saving time, bandwidth and space.

Install

go get github.com/blacktop/partialzip

Example

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/blacktop/partialzip"
)

func main() {
    pzip, err := partialzip.New("https://apple.com/ipsw/download/link")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(pzip.List())

    n, err := pzip.Download("kernelcache.release.iphone11")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("extracting kernelcache.release.iphone11, wrote %d bytes\n", n)
}

extracting "kernelcache.release.iphone11", wrote 17842148 bytes
