#' Class for an external unzip process
#'
#' `unzip_process()` returns an R6 class that represents an unzip process.
#' It is implemented as a subclass of [processx::process].
#'
#' @section Using the `unzip_process` class:
#'
#' ```
#' up <- unzip_process()$new(zipfile, exdir = ".", poll_connection = TRUE,
#'                            stderr = tempfile(), ...)
#' ```
#'
#' See [processx::process] for the class methods.
#'
#' Arguments:
#' * `zipfile`: Path to the zip file to uncompress.
#' * `exdir`: Directory to uncompress the archive to. If it does not
#'   exist, it will be created.
#' * `poll_connection`: passed to the `initialize` method of
#'   [processx::process], it allows using [processx::poll()] or the
#'   `poll_io()` method to poll for the completion of the process.
#' * `stderr`: passed to the `initialize` method of [processx::process],
#'   by default the standard error is written to a temporary file.
#'   This file can be used to diagnose errors if the process failed.
#' * `...` passed to the `initialize` method of [processx::process].
#'
#' @return An `unzip_process` R6 class object, a subclass of
#' [processx::process], or a subclass of [callr::r_process] when the fallback
#' is active (see the Fallback section below).
#'
#' @section Fallback:
#' `unzip_process()` normally runs the bundled `cmdunzip` native executable
#' via [processx::process]. If the executable cannot be found or fails its
#' self-test it falls back to running [unzip()] in a background R process
#' via [callr::r_process]. This may happen when system policies do not
#' allow starting the `cmdunzip` executable., The fallback class has the
#' same interface but inherits from [callr::r_process] instead of
#' [processx::process].
#'
#' Set the environment variable `R_ZIP_PROCESS_FALLBACK=true` to force the
#' fallback unconditionally.
#'
#' @section Encoding:
#' The `unzip_process` class does not support the `encoding` argument of
#' [unzip()]. Non-UTF-8 filenames are decoded using the IBM CP437 fallback.
#' Use [unzip()] directly if you need to handle ZIP files with filenames in
#' other encodings (e.g. CP932).
#'

#' @examples
#' ex <- system.file("example.zip", package = "zip")
#' tmp <- tempfile()
#' up <- unzip_process()$new(ex, exdir = tmp)
#' up$wait()
#' up$get_exit_status()
#' dir(tmp)
