Usages
- For reading multi-volume files, that has names archive.7z.0001, archive.7z.0002 and so on, you can call multivolumefile as follows;
with multivolumefile.open('archive.7z', 'rb') as vol: data = vol.read(100) vol.seek(500)
- For writing multi-volue files, that has names archive.7z.0001, archive.7z.0002 and so on, you can call multivolumefile as follows;
data = b'abcdefg' with multivolumefile.open('archive.7z', 'wb') as vol: size = vol.write(data) vol.seek(0)
you will see file archive.7z.001 are written.
