Crate tar

A library for reading and writing TAR archives

This library provides utilities necessary to manage TAR archives abstracted over a reader or writer. Great strides are taken to ensure that an archive is never required to be fully resident in memory, and all objects provide largely a streaming interface to read bytes from.

Structs

Archive	A top-level representation of an archive file.
Builder	A structure for building archives
Entries	An iterator over the entries of an archive.
Entry	A read-only view into an entry of an archive.
GnuExtSparseHeader	Representation of the entry found to represent extended GNU sparse files.
GnuHeader	Representation of the header of an entry in an archive
GnuSparseHeader	Description of the header of a spare entry.

OldHeader	Representation of the header of an entry in an archive
PaxExtension	A key/value pair corresponding to a pax extension.

Enums

EntryType	Indicate for the type of file described by a header.
