### Documentation

### Pharly?

[](#pharly-1)

The name for this library has been derived from the [PHAR extension](http://pecl.php.net/package/phar) that has been built-in with PHP since `5.2.0`. Pharly heavily relies on PHAR's file-abstractions for it's archiving and extraction routines, which it in turn uses from the [PHP\_Archive package](http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Archive).
