4583 :: Example of extracting a .tar.gz to a plain text file

  Hello,

  Can someone give an example of uncompressing + untarring a .tar.gz file (without call execProcess and likes, but instead using the zlib and tar libraries)?

  I ended up on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33082639/reading-files-from-tar-gz-archive-in-nim, but I still don't see a single wholesome solution.

  Choosenim uses @dom96's untar package.

  https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/blob/master/src/choosenim/utils.nim#L75

  https://github.com/dom96/untar

  There's also nimarchive which can do this.
