1 This module provides an implementation of the tar archive format for Unix. The 2 specific format implemented is USTAR, however, it is capable of reading most tar 3 variants which are backwards-compatible with the original format (e.g. GNU tar). 4 5 To read an archive, use [[read]] to create a reader, and [[next]] to enumerate 6 its entries. The return value from [[next]] contains the file metadata and is an 7 [[io::stream]] that you may read the file contents from. You may call [[skip]] 8 to skip an archive entry without reading it.
