Usage

Creating an archive

Creating an archive and adding arbitrary files to it is simple!

require 'rar'

archive = RAR::Archive.new 'archive.rar'

archive.add_file 'some-file.txt'
archive.add_file 'some-other-file.jpg'

archive.create!

Adding command-line options

RAR provides a mapping of verbosely named options for ease of use.

archive = RAR::Archive.new 'archive.rar', volume_size: 15_000_000

archive.add_file 'some-file.txt'
archive.add_file 'some-large-file.bin'

archive.create!

This example splits the archive into multiple volumes with a size of 15MB.
