For the capabilities of such API I'd expect it to work seamlessly with std streams

Okay, can you propose some function signatures or class declarations?

Actually I've already written part of them :) If I'd have written my wrapper once again the basis wold not change as that API covered my use cases in the past quite well. I'd just: - add support for archives that were added later by libarchive - implement some sort of properties system of archive/compression type capabilities as currently it relies on libarchive and doesn't care if something is not supported by the underlying format - add allocator support - and perhaps add an additional no-exceptions API Let libarchive handle the rest for starters and gather more feedback from users - the part that I never cared to bother with except from those that were working on the same project as me (there was one github request for adding files to existing archives but that came in years after I last actively used it so I never even bothered - different projects, no longer need to bother with compression).
