fetch_archive: Fetch a file or object from an archive
In richfitz/remake: Make-like build management

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

Fetch a file or object from an archive. Throws an error if requesting a target that was not exported (see list_archive() for archive contents).

1	fetch_archive(target_name, path_prefix = NULL, archive_file = "remake.zip")

`target_name`	Name of a single file or
`path_prefix`	Optional path prefix for exported files only (not for objects). If given, a file `path/to/file` will be exported as `path_prefix/path/to/file`; this is useful to avoid overwriting existing data, as this will happen without warning.
`archive_file`	Name of the archive file to use, by default `remake.zip`.

If target_name refers to an object, then the return value is the restored object. If target_name refers to a file, then the return value is the path to the restored file (including path_prefix if given).
