libSUarchive

A light, fast and portable library for handling Sonic Unleashed's archive file formats (.ar/.arl).

Features

• Ability to go through every archive's entries.
• Request, add, remove or modify any entry you want.
• Get metadata information about the file formats and their entries.
• Merge archive files into one.
• Generate archive linker (.arl) files from one or multiple archive files.
• Create your own .ar/.arl files progrmatically.
• Decompress SEGS (PS3) compressed files into readable .ar/.arl files
• Lightweight as well as single-header, making it easy to implement it in any project.
• Focused on performance so that it wouldn't take forever to do one simple thing, like merging AR files!
• The library is very flexible and can be used in many ways. The library never limits the user to use some hefty dependency, like the C++ STL.
• Written in pure C89, making it portable and work perfectly on most if not all C/C++ compilers.

Using the library

To use the library, you must do the following in EXACTLY one C/C++ file:

#define SISWA_ARCHIVE_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "libSUarchive.h"

Once that's set, other files do not require the '#define' line.

Planned features

• Add XCompression file support (Limited support for very small files, support for every file will take awhile).
• .arl merge functions.
