A tool to unzip files in parallel.

This is a Rust library (and command-line tool) which utilises the power of Rust'srayonlibrary to unzip a zip file in parallel. If you're fetching the zip file from a URI, itmay also be able to start unzipping in parallel with the download.

To fetch the command-line tool:cargo install ripunzip thenripunzip -h. Alternatively,a.deb file is available under the "releases" section on github.

To add the library to your project:cargo add ripunzip and check out the documentationlinked above.

Pull requests are welcome - seethe contributing doc. The focusof this project remains efficiently unzipping entire zip files, and any speed increasesare greatly appreciated!cargo criterion is used for performance testing, though thebenchmark suite doesn't do a great job of simulating real conditions. In particular pleasebe aware that this tool is often used on devices with spinny hard disks and very limiteddisk write bandwidth, so in different circumstances that may be the limiting circumstance,or network bandwidth, or CPU time. Please consider the impact of your changes on all thesepermutations.

Release procedure:

1. Revise the version number.
2. cargo publish
3. Create a new release and tag on github.

There's alsocargo fuzz support for comparitive fuzzing against non-parallel unzippingto try to spot any unforeseen circumstances where we do anything differently. If youchange the core unzipping logic please use this.
