import { list as unpckList } from 'unpack-all';
import { unpack as unpck } from 'unpack-all';
import { unpackSync } from 'unpack-all';

// list only:
unpckList(archiveFile<String>, options<Object>, callback<function>);
// or list sync:
const res = await unpackAll.listSync(archiveFile<String>, options<Object>);

// unpack:
unpck(archiveFile<String>, options<Object>, callback<function>);
// or unpack sync:

Options

Key | Possible values | Comment --------- | -----------------------|------------------------------------------------- quiet | true/false (default) | true will reduce logging for unpacking targetDir | <String> | The directory to write the contents of the archive to. Defaults to the current directory. randomTargetSubDir | true/false (default) | If true, a random subfolder will created for each unpack operation in target dir. forceOverwrite | true/false (default) | if null, tmp dir will created automatically forceDirectory | true/false/undefined | Always create a containing directory for the contents of the unpacked archive. By default, a directory is created if there is more than one top-level file or folder. noDirectory | true/false/undefined | Never create a containing directory for the contents of the unpacked archive. noRecursion | true/false/undefined | Do not attempt to extract archives contained in other archives. For instance, when unpacking a .tar.gz file, only unpack the .gz file and not its contents. copyTime | true/false/undefined | Copy the file modification time from the archive file to the containing directory, if one is created. password | <String> | The password to use for decrypting protected archives. passwordEncoding | <String> | The encoding to use for the password for the archive, when it is not known. If not specified, then either the encoding given by the -encoding option or the auto-detected encoding is used. encoding | <String> | The encoding to use for filenames in the archive, when it is not known. If not specified, the program attempts to auto-detect the encoding used. Use "help" or "list" as the argument to give
