## Async Usage
SharpCompress now provides full async/await support for all I/O operations, allowing for better performance and scalability in modern applications.
### Async Reading Examples
Extract entries asynchronously:
```csharp
using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead("archive.zip"))
using (var reader = ReaderFactory.Open(stream))
{
while (reader.MoveToNextEntry())
{
if (!reader.Entry.IsDirectory)
{
// Async extraction
await reader.WriteEntryToDirectoryAsync(
@"C:\temp",
new ExtractionOptions() { ExtractFullPath = true, Overwrite = true },
cancellationToken
);
}
}
}
```
Extract all entries to directory asynchronously:
```csharp
using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead("archive.tar.gz"))
using (var reader = ReaderFactory.Open(stream))
{
await reader.WriteAllToDirectoryAsync(
@"C:\temp",
new ExtractionOptions() { ExtractFullPath = true, Overwrite = true },
cancellationToken
);
}
```
Open entry stream asynchronously:
```csharp
using (var archive = ZipArchive.Open("archive.zip"))
{
foreach (var entry in archive.Entries.Where(e => !e.IsDirectory))
{
using (var entryStream = await entry.OpenEntryStreamAsync(cancellationToken))
{
// Process stream asynchronously
await entryStream.CopyToAsync(outputStream, cancellationToken);
}
}
}
```
### Async Writing Examples
Write files asynchronously:
```csharp
using (Stream stream = File.OpenWrite("output.zip"))
using (var writer = WriterFactory.Open(stream, ArchiveType.Zip, CompressionType.Deflate))
{
await writer.WriteAsync("file1.txt", fileStream, DateTime.Now, cancellationToken);
}
```
Write all files from directory asynchronously:
```csharp
using (Stream stream = File.OpenWrite("output.tar.gz"))
using (var writer = WriterFactory.Open(stream, ArchiveType.Tar, new WriterOptions(CompressionType.GZip)))
{
await writer.WriteAllAsync(@"D:\files", "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories, cancellationToken);
}
```
All async methods support `CancellationToken` for graceful cancellation of long-running operations.
## Want to contribute?
I'm always looking for help or ideas. Please submit code or email with ideas. Unfortunately, just letting me know you'd like to help is not enough because I really have no overall plan of what needs to be done. I'll definitely accept code submissions and add you as a member of the project!
