-== NAME ==
-*libarchive-formats*
-- archive formats supported by the libarchive library
-== DESCRIPTION ==
-The
-*libarchive*(3)
-library reads and writes a variety of streaming archive formats.
-Generally speaking, all of these archive formats consist of a series of
-"entries".
-Each entry stores a single file system object, such as a file, directory,
-or symbolic link.
-
-The following provides a brief description of each format supported
-by libarchive, with some information about recognized extensions or
-limitations of the current library support.
-Note that just because a format is supported by libarchive does not
-imply that a program that uses libarchive will support that format.
-Applications that use libarchive specify which formats they wish
-to support, though many programs do use libarchive convenience
-functions to enable all supported formats.
-=== Tar Formats===
-The
-*libarchive*(3)
-library can read most tar archives.
-However, it only writes POSIX-standard
-"ustar"
-and
-"pax interchange"
-formats.
-
-All tar formats store each entry in one or more 512-byte records.
-The first record is used for file metadata, including filename,
-timestamp, and mode information, and the file data is stored in
-subsequent records.
-Later variants have extended this by either appropriating undefined
-areas of the header record, extending the header to multiple records,
-or by storing special entries that modify the interpretation of
-subsequent entries.
-
-<dl>
-<dt>*gnutar*</dt><dd>
-The
-*libarchive*(3)
-library can read GNU-format tar archives.
-It currently supports the most popular GNU extensions, including
-modern long filename and linkname support, as well as atime and ctime data.
-The libarchive library does not support multi-volume
-archives, nor the old GNU long filename format.
-It can read GNU sparse file entries, including the new POSIX-based
-formats, but cannot write GNU sparse file entries.
-</dd><dt>*pax*</dt><dd>
-The
-*libarchive*(3)
-library can read and write POSIX-compliant pax interchange format
-archives.
-Pax interchange format archives are an extension of the older ustar
-format that adds a separate entry with additional attributes stored
-as key/value pairs immediately before each regular entry.
-The presence of these additional entries is the only difference between
-pax interchange format and the older ustar format.
-The extended attributes are of unlimited length and are stored
-as UTF-8 Unicode strings.
-Keywords defined in the standard are in all lowercase; vendors are allowed
-to define custom keys by preceding them with the vendor name in all uppercase.
-When writing pax archives, libarchive uses many of the SCHILY keys
-defined by Joerg Schilling's
-"star"
-archiver and a few LIBARCHIVE keys.
-The libarchive library can read most of the SCHILY keys
-and most of the GNU keys introduced by GNU tar.
-It silently ignores any keywords that it does not understand.
-</dd><dt>*restricted* pax</dt><dd>
-The libarchive library can also write pax archives in which it
-attempts to suppress the extended attributes entry whenever
-possible.
-The result will be identical to a ustar archive unless the
-extended attributes entry is required to store a long file
-name, long linkname, extended ACL, file flags, or if any of the standard
-ustar data (user name, group name, UID, GID, etc) cannot be fully
-represented in the ustar header.
-In all cases, the result can be dearchived by any program that
-can read POSIX-compliant pax interchange format archives.
-Programs that correctly read ustar format (see below) will also be
-able to read this format; any extended attributes will be extracted as
-separate files stored in
-_PaxHeader_
-directories.
-</dd><dt>*ustar*</dt><dd>
-The libarchive library can both read and write this format.
-This format has the following limitations:
-<ul>
-<li>
-Device major and minor numbers are limited to 21 bits.
-Nodes with larger numbers will not be added to the archive.
-</li><li>
-Path names in the archive are limited to 255 bytes.
-(Shorter if there is no / character in exactly the right place.)
-</li><li>
-Symbolic links and hard links are stored in the archive with
-the name of the referenced file.
-This name is limited to 100 bytes.
-</li><li>
-Extended attributes, file flags, and other extended
-security information cannot be stored.
-</li><li>
-Archive entries are limited to 8 gigabytes in size.
-</li></ul>
-Note that the pax interchange format has none of these restrictions.
-</dd></dl>
-
-The libarchive library also reads a variety of commonly-used extensions to
-the basic tar format.
-These extensions are recognized automatically whenever they appear.
-<dl>
-<dt>Numeric extensions.</dt><dd>
-The POSIX standards require fixed-length numeric fields to be written with
-some character position reserved for terminators.
-Libarchive allows these fields to be written without terminator characters.
-This extends the allowable range; in particular, ustar archives with this
-extension can support entries up to 64 gigabytes in size.
-Libarchive also recognizes base-256 values in most numeric fields.
-This essentially removes all limitations on file size, modification time,
-and device numbers.
-</dd><dt>Solaris extensions</dt><dd>
-Libarchive recognizes ACL and extended attribute records written
-by Solaris tar.
-Currently, libarchive only has support for old-style ACLs; the
-newer NFSv4 ACLs are recognized but discarded.
-</dd></dl>
-
-The first tar program appeared in Seventh Edition Unix in 1979.
-The first official standard for the tar file format was the
-"ustar"
-(Unix Standard Tar) format defined by POSIX in 1988.
-POSIX.1-2001 extended the ustar format to create the
-"pax interchange"
-format.
-=== Cpio Formats===
-The libarchive library can read a number of common cpio variants and can write
-"odc"
-and
-"newc"
-format archives.
-A cpio archive stores each entry as a fixed-size header followed
-by a variable-length filename and variable-length data.
-Unlike the tar format, the cpio format does only minimal padding
-of the header or file data.
-There are several cpio variants, which differ primarily in
-how they store the initial header: some store the values as
-octal or hexadecimal numbers in ASCII, others as binary values of
-varying byte order and length.
-<dl>
-<dt>*binary*</dt><dd>
-The libarchive library transparently reads both big-endian and little-endian
-variants of the original binary cpio format.
-This format used 32-bit binary values for file size and mtime,
-and 16-bit binary values for the other fields.
-</dd><dt>*odc*</dt><dd>
-The libarchive library can both read and write this
-POSIX-standard format, which is officially known as the
-"cpio interchange format"
-or the
-"octet-oriented cpio archive format"
-and sometimes unofficially referred to as the
-"old character format".
-This format stores the header contents as octal values in ASCII.
-It is standard, portable, and immune from byte-order confusion.
-File sizes and mtime are limited to 33 bits (8GB file size),
-other fields are limited to 18 bits.
-</dd><dt>*SVR4*</dt><dd>
-The libarchive library can read both CRC and non-CRC variants of
-this format.
-The SVR4 format uses eight-digit hexadecimal values for
-all header fields.
-This limits file size to 4GB, and also limits the mtime and
-other fields to 32 bits.
-The SVR4 format can optionally include a CRC of the file
-contents, although libarchive does not currently verify this CRC.
-</dd></dl>
-
-Cpio first appeared in PWB/UNIX 1.0, which was released within
-AT&T in 1977.
-PWB/UNIX 1.0 formed the basis of System III Unix, released outside
-of AT&T in 1981.
-This makes cpio older than tar, although cpio was not included
-in Version 7 AT&T Unix.
-As a result, the tar command became much better known in universities
-and research groups that used Version 7.
-The combination of the
-*find*
-and
-*cpio*
-utilities provided very precise control over file selection.
-Unfortunately, the format has many limitations that make it unsuitable
-for widespread use.
-Only the POSIX format permits files over 4GB, and its 18-bit
-limit for most other fields makes it unsuitable for modern systems.
-In addition, cpio formats only store numeric UID/GID values (not
-usernames and group names), which can make it very difficult to correctly
-transfer archives across systems with dissimilar user numbering.
-=== Shar Formats===
-A
-"shell archive"
-is a shell script that, when executed on a POSIX-compliant
-system, will recreate a collection of file system objects.
-The libarchive library can write two different kinds of shar archives:
-<dl>
-<dt>*shar*</dt><dd>
-The traditional shar format uses a limited set of POSIX
-commands, including
-*echo*(1),
-*mkdir*(1),
-and
-*sed*(1).
-It is suitable for portably archiving small collections of plain text files.
-However, it is not generally well-suited for large archives
-(many implementations of
-*sh*(1)
-have limits on the size of a script) nor should it be used with non-text files.
-</dd><dt>*shardump*</dt><dd>
-This format is similar to shar but encodes files using
-*uuencode*(1)
-so that the result will be a plain text file regardless of the file contents.
-It also includes additional shell commands that attempt to reproduce as
-many file attributes as possible, including owner, mode, and flags.
-The additional commands used to restore file attributes make
-shardump archives less portable than plain shar archives.
-</dd></dl>
-=== ISO9660 format===
-Libarchive can read and extract from files containing ISO9660-compliant
-CDROM images.
-In many cases, this can remove the need to burn a physical CDROM
-just in order to read the files contained in an ISO9660 image.
-It also avoids security and complexity issues that come with
-virtual mounts and loopback devices.
-Libarchive supports the most common Rockridge extensions and has partial
-support for Joliet extensions.
-If both extensions are present, the Joliet extensions will be
-used and the Rockridge extensions will be ignored.
-In particular, this can create problems with hardlinks and symlinks,
-which are supported by Rockridge but not by Joliet.
-=== Zip format===
-Libarchive can read and write zip format archives that have
-uncompressed entries and entries compressed with the
-"deflate"
-algorithm.
-Older zip compression algorithms are not supported.
-It can extract jar archives, archives that use Zip64 extensions and many
-self-extracting zip archives.
-Libarchive reads Zip archives as they are being streamed,
-which allows it to read archives of arbitrary size.
-It currently does not use the central directory; this
-limits libarchive's ability to support some self-extracting
-archives and ones that have been modified in certain ways.
-=== Archive (library) file format===
-The Unix archive format (commonly created by the
-*ar*(1)
-archiver) is a general-purpose format which is
-used almost exclusively for object files to be
-read by the link editor
-*ld*(1).
-The ar format has never been standardised.
-There are two common variants:
-the GNU format derived from SVR4,
-and the BSD format, which first appeared in 4.4BSD.
-The two differ primarily in their handling of filenames
-longer than 15 characters:
-the GNU/SVR4 variant writes a filename table at the beginning of the archive;
-the BSD format stores each long filename in an extension
-area adjacent to the entry.
-Libarchive can read both extensions,
-including archives that may include both types of long filenames.
-Programs using libarchive can write GNU/SVR4 format
-if they provide a filename table to be written into
-the archive before any of the entries.
-Any entries whose names are not in the filename table
-will be written using BSD-style long filenames.
-This can cause problems for programs such as
-GNU ld that do not support the BSD-style long filenames.
-=== mtree===
-Libarchive can read and write files in
-*mtree*(5)
-format.
-This format is not a true archive format, but rather a textual description
-of a file hierarchy in which each line specifies the name of a file and
-provides specific metadata about that file.
-Libarchive can read all of the keywords supported by both
-the NetBSD and FreeBSD versions of
-*mtree*(1),
-although many of the keywords cannot currently be stored in an
-*archive_entry*
-object.
-When writing, libarchive supports use of the
-*archive_write_set_options*(3)
-interface to specify which keywords should be included in the
-output.
-If libarchive was compiled with access to suitable
-cryptographic libraries (such as the OpenSSL libraries),
-it can compute hash entries such as
-*sha512*
-or
-*md5*
-from file data being written to the mtree writer.
-
-When reading an mtree file, libarchive will locate the corresponding
-files on disk using the
-*contents*
-keyword if present or the regular filename.
-If it can locate and open the file on disk, it will use that
-to fill in any metadata that is missing from the mtree file
-and will read the file contents and return those to the program
-using libarchive.
-If it cannot locate and open the file on disk, libarchive
-will return an error for any attempt to read the entry
-body.
