We have released the “TAR Format” package for all licenses of Cerbero Suite Standard and Advanced.

The package is also exposed to the SDK:

from Pro.Core import *
from Pkg.TAR import *

def parseTARArchive(fname):
    c = createContainerFromFile(fname)
    if c.isNull():
        return
    obj = TARObject()
    if not obj.Load(c) or not obj.ParseArchive():
        return
    curoffs = None
    while True:
        entry, curoffs = obj.NextEntry(curoffs)
        if entry == None:
            break
        # skip directories
        if obj.IsDirectory(entry):
            continue
        print("file name:", entry.name, "file offset:", str(entry.offset_data), "file size:", str(entry.size))
        # retrieves the file data as NTContainer
        fc = obj.GetEntryData(entry)
