php-rar/README.md

PHP extension for reading RAR archives using the bundled UnRAR library.

This extension uses a modified version of the UnRAR library. The UnRAR library is an official open-source library by RARLabs, an auto generated subset of the RAR codebase. It is available from http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm Please note that it has a more restrictive license than the PHP bindings, barring using it to re-create the RAR compression algorithm. See unrar/LICENSE.txt for details.

Some modifications have been applied to the UnRAR library, mainly to allow streaming extraction of files without using threads.
