Tar support? #29

Open inorton opened 7 years ago

inorton commented 7 years ago

Hi folks, I'm guessing you already have an answer for this, but here goes.

I have huge tar.gz files, I'd like to build an index that I can randomly access individual files inside the tar in my gz file.

Many thanks

Ian

That's not really something zq/zindex is designed for. But the same approach can be used to index the information needed to access files within the tar files themselves.
