This is the PhysFS contained in a single header to be bundled in C/C++ applications with ease. PhysFS is a library to provide abstract access to various archives.

#define PHYSFS_IMPL
#define PHYSFS_PLATFORM_IMPL
#define PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_ZIP
#include "miniphysfs.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    if(!PHYSFS_init(argv[0])) {
        printf("PhysFS initialization failed: %s\n", PHYSFS_getErrorByCode(PHYSFS_getLastErrorCode()));
        return -1;
    }
    /* your PhysFS logic here */
    PHYSFS_deinit();
    return 0;
}

MiniPhysFS do very little modification to the original library, the PhysFS sources were concatenated to a single C header and some defines were added to make easy of use.

To use the header do this

#define PHYSFS_IMPL
#define PHYSFS_PLATFORM_IMPL

before you include this file in one C file to create the implementation.

On MacOS you need to define PHYSFS_PLATFORM_IMPL in a separate a .m file. And on Haiku or WinRT you need to define PHYSFS_PLATFORM_IMPL in a separate .cpp file.

Note that almost no modification was made in the PhysFS implementation code, thus there are some C variable names that may collide with your code, therefore it is best to declare the PhysFS implementation in dedicated C file.

By default all archives are supported, you can disable any of them by defining:

PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_ZIP
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_7Z
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_GRP
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_WAD
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_HOG
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_MVL
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_QPAK
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_SLB
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_ISO9660
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_NO_VDF

Or you can request only certain archives to be supported by defining one of these:

PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_ZIP
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_7Z
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_GRP
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_WAD
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_HOG
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_MVL
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_QPAK
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_SLB
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_ISO9660
PHYSFS_SUPPORTS_ONLY_VDF

Optionally provide the following defines with your own implementations:

• PHYSFS_DECL - public function declaration prefix (default: extern)

For documentation on how to use PhysFS read the header or its official documentation.

• 07-May-2021: Updated to PhysFS changeset e0346f434926, for better ARM64 support.
• 20-Nov-2020: Library created, using PhysFS changeset acdcf93d1f9b

PhysFS 3.1.0 with latest changeset (as 20-Nov-2020) acdcf93d1f9b was used to make this library, the PhysFS 3.1.0 is not officially released yet, but this changeset was chosen due to the added support for Android.
