//! A library for reading and writing TAR archives in an async fashion. //! //! This library provides utilities necessary to manage [TAR archives][1] //! 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. //! //! [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_%28computing%29 // More docs about the detailed tar format can also be found here: // http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tar&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+8-current // NB: some of the coding patterns and idioms here may seem a little strange. // This is currently attempting to expose a super generic interface while // also not forcing clients to codegen the entire crate each time they use // it. To that end lots of work is done to ensure that concrete // implementations are all found in this crate and the generic functions are // all just super thin wrappers (e.g. easy to codegen). #![deny(missing_docs)] use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind}; pub use crate::{ archive::{Archive, ArchiveBuilder, Entries}, builder::Builder, entry::{Entry, Unpacked}, entry_type::EntryType, header::{ GnuExtSparseHeader, GnuHeader, GnuSparseHeader, Header, HeaderMode, OldHeader, UstarHeader, }, pax::{PaxExtension, PaxExtensions}, }; mod archive; mod builder; mod entry; mod entry_type; mod error; mod header; mod pax; fn other(msg: &str) -> Error { Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, msg) }
