πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

ok so bestie, this is Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::ArchiveZip β€” a plugin that extracts a tarball using Archive::Zip. yes i know the name says tarball and the thing is a zip. we don't ask questions here. πŸŽ€

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.88 β€” that's the one, no cap

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

use alienfile;
plugin 'Extract::ArchiveZip' => (
  format => 'zip',
);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, real talk before anything else:

Note: in most cases you are gonna want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Negotiate instead. it's the one that picks the right Extract plugin based on your platform and your environment, like a lil matchmaker. πŸ’… in some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead. but like. some.
Note: seriously do NOT use this plugin!! Archive::Zip is pretty unreliable and breaks all-the-time. like not occasionally. all-the-time. 😭 and the way that the negotiator plugin mentioned above will prefer installing Alien::unzip, which is much more reliable than Archive::Zip? iconic behaviour honestly. use that one.

so with all that said: this plugin extracts from an archive in zip format using Archive::Zip. that's the whole vibe. 🧚

format

gives a hint as to the expected format. this should always be "zip". no notes. πŸŽ€

πŸ‘‘ METHODS πŸ‘‘

handles

Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::ArchiveZip->handles($ext);
$plugin->handles($ext);

returns true if the plugin is able to handle the archive of the given format. like a lil vibe check on the extension. ✨

available

Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::ArchiveZip->available($ext);

returns true if the plugin has what it needs right now to extract from the given format. yes, right now, present tense, we're not waiting around. 🫢
