How to build 7zip(7z) archiver format plugins

This project is a light guide on how to work with 7zip archiver source code and build comprehensive plugins for 7zip File Manager.

Beginning

Learn where to find the latest version of the 7zip source code, how to debug and what is the structure of the plugin host and its API

Explore the contract that your plugin must implement to serve as an archiver

We will implement an archiver with hardcoded file structure. We will allow files to be opened and the archive can be extracted.

We will explore a bit more the plugin API and try implementing an archive that will allow files to be inserted, deleted, and modified in-place.
