Fastjar

Version of JDK’s `jar’ command written entirely in C

Fastjar is a version of Sun’s jar' utility, written entirely in C, and therefore quite a bit faster. Fastjar can be up to 100x faster than the stock jar’ program running without a JIT. Currently, the author is working on adding all the features present in the Sun utility. At the moment, implemented features are

• Archive creation
• Verbose/quiet output
• stdout vs. file output
• Manifest file support
• Deflation or storage
• Changing to directory and adding files -C
• Archive content listing -t
• Archive extraction -x
