Load archive and write it back out. Split archives into individual records. Verify digest and validate conformance. The library may not be entirely thread-safe yet.

Warcat is designed to handle large, gzip-ed files by partially extracting them as needed. Warcat is provided without warranty and cannot guarantee the safety of your files. Remember to make backups and test them! A WARC file contains one or more records concatenated together. Each record contains named fields, newline, a content block, newline, and newline. A Content Block may be two types, {binary data} or {Named Fields, newline, and binary data}.
