Move / rename files on extract

[hudlow]

It appears that onWriteEntry lets you move or rename a file when it's going into an archive, but can you do the same with transform or onReadEntry for files coming out of an archive? strip seems like a special case of this, but I'm trying to work out if I can transform and rename files without first writing them to disk and worrying about races.

This is already possible :). For example, the following code extracts an archive while ignoring the folder structure

fs.createReadStream(archivePath)
    .pipe(decompressor)
    .pipe(tar.extract({
        onReadEntry: entry => {
            entry.path = path.basename(entry.path)
        }
    }))
