targets two problems with archives:
- Command line tools for extracting archives are often archaic and differ
considerably between formats

# Usage
Invoking `xwim` is as simple as:
```shell
xim archive.tar.gz
xwim archive.tar.gz
```
This will extract the archive `archive.tar.gz` to the current folder. If the
archive contains a single root folder named like the archive, it is just
extracted as is. Otherwise `xwim` first creates a folder named after the archive
and extracts the contents there.

# Install
xwim is currently released as a dynamically linked glibc binary only. The
releases can be downloaded from https://git.friedl.net/incubator/xwim/releases
and should run on most glibc based GNU/Linux distributions. The following
dependencies have to be installed:
- [spdlog](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog)
- [fmt](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt)
- [libarchive](https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive)
Approaching the first stable release we will release for more platforms.
# Build
xwim is built with [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/). To compile xwim from source
you need:
- [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/)
- [ninja](https://ninja-build.org/)
- GCC or Clang (others may work too) supporting C++17
Additionally you need some libraries installed:
- [spdlog](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog)
- [fmt](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt)
- [libarchive](https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive)
``` shell
# Get the source
git clone https://git.friedl.net/incubator/xwim.git
# Build xwim executable
cd xwim
meson build
cd build
meson compile
# Run executable on the test archive
# This will extract root.tar.gz to
# the current working directory
src/xwim test/archives/root.tar.gz
```
# Contributing
While xwim is still in incubator phase (i.e. before version 1.0) it's main
repository is hosted on https://git.friedl.net/incubator/xwim with a mirror on
https://github.com/arminfriedl/xwim. With the first stable release it will most
likely move to GitHub as it's main repository.
If you want to contribute, you can either issue a pull request on it's Github
mirror (will be cherry picked into the main repository) or send patches to
`dev [at] friedl [dot] net`.
If you are interested in a long-term co-maintainership you can also drop me a
mail for an account on https://git.friedl.net.
