It does have c interop so you could just use libarchive. Though writing c in swift is a bit less magical.

While technically true you then have to use pointers in swift and they made it hard by design to do that.
Last time I looked, Swift didn't have a stable way to export C-compatible ABIs.
@_cdecl exists, although it's underscored.
I was under the impression that this feature wasn't stable, but it's been years since I've thought about it.
