Srep in StdIn/Out mode through FreeArc #350

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What should be implemented?
just an Idea to improve Srep when used through FreeArc:
Since Srep in direct StdIn/Out mode needs to know the Input file size, i think 
(if possible, maybe when it will become an internal algorithm) that FreeArc can 
pass to Srep the size of the files to be compressed (through pre-listing / O.S 
API, or similar).
Then the files can be read and processed one after the other, and grouped into 
the arcdatafile

Why it will be useful?
ability to eliminate the need of a temporary file;
Direct StdIn/Out mode without memory usage penalty.
