luaHow to extract ZIP file

We'll use zip lib to load file contents from zip archive:

zip = require 'brimworks.zip'

local zip_arc = zip.open('/tmp/file.zip')
local file = zip_arc:open(zip_arc:get_num_files())
local stat = zip_arc:stat(zip_arc:get_num_files())
str = file:read(stat.size)

zip_arc:close()ctrl + cgithub

`require 'brimworks.zip'` load zip lib	`zip.open` create existing zip archive to extract file from
`zip_arc:open` open specified file from archive (using its index)	`zip_arc:get_num_files()` get number of files in zip archive (assume there's one file, then we'll get `1`)
`zip_arc:stat` return specified file stats to get decompressed file size	`file:read` read file contents limited by a given value
`stat.size` we're asking to read full length of compressed file content	`str` variable will contain uncompressed file contents from zip archive

Usage example

zip = require 'brimworks.zip'

local zip_arc = zip.open('/tmp/file.zip')
local file = zip_arc:open(zip_arc:get_num_files())
local stat = zip_arc:stat(zip_arc:get_num_files())
str = file:read(stat.size)

print(str)

zip_arc:close()
