mlx.data.files_from_tar

mlx.data.files_from_tar(tarfile: str, nested: bool = False, num_threads: int = 1) → mlx.data._c.Buffer

Return the list of files contained in a tar archive.

If nested is true then the archive is indexed recursively ie archives contained in the file are also indexed. Moreover in that case the indexing can be parallelized using the argument num_threads

Parameters:

• tarfile (str) – The path to the tar archive to be indexed.

• nested (bool) – Enable recursive indexing of archives in archives. (default: False)

• num_threads (int) – If nested archives are enabled then index the nested archives in parallel using num_threads threads. (default: 1)
