-DESCRIPTION
- These functions create and manipulate data objects that represent entries
- within an archive. You can think of a struct archive_entry as a heavy-
- duty version of struct stat: it includes everything from struct stat plus
- associated pathname, textual group and user names, etc. These objects
- are used by libarchive(3) to represent the metadata associated with a
- particular entry in an archive.
-
- Create and Destroy
- There are functions to allocate, destroy, clear, and copy archive_entry
- objects:
- archive_entry_clear()
- Erases the object, resetting all internal fields to the same
- state as a newly-created object. This is provided to allow you
- to quickly recycle objects without thrashing the heap.
- archive_entry_clone()
- A deep copy operation; all text fields are duplicated.
- archive_entry_free()
- Releases the struct archive_entry object.
- archive_entry_new()
- Allocate and return a blank struct archive_entry object.
-
- Set and Get Functions
- Most of the functions here set or read entries in an object. Such func-
- tions have one of the following forms:
- archive_entry_set_XXXX()
- Stores the provided data in the object. In particular, for
- strings, the pointer is stored, not the referenced string.
- archive_entry_copy_XXXX()
- As above, except that the referenced data is copied into the
- object.
- archive_entry_XXXX()
- Returns the specified data. In the case of strings, a const-
- qualified pointer to the string is returned.
- String data can be set or accessed as wide character strings or normal
- char strings. The functions that use wide character strings are suffixed
- with _w. Note that these are different representations of the same data:
- For example, if you store a narrow string and read the corresponding wide
- string, the object will transparently convert formats using the current
- locale. Similarly, if you store a wide string and then store a narrow
- string for the same data, the previously-set wide string will be dis-
- carded in favor of the new data.
-
- There are a few set/get functions that merit additional description:
- archive_entry_set_link()
- This function sets the symlink field if it is already set. Oth-
- erwise, it sets the hardlink field.
-
- File Flags
- File flags are transparently converted between a bitmap representation
- and a textual format. For example, if you set the bitmap and ask for
- text, the library will build a canonical text format. However, if you
- set a text format and request a text format, you will get back the same
- text, even if it is ill-formed. If you need to canonicalize a textual
- flags string, you should first set the text form, then request the bitmap
- form, then use that to set the bitmap form. Setting the bitmap format
- will clear the internal text representation and force it to be recon-
- structed when you next request the text form.
-
- The bitmap format consists of two integers, one containing bits that
- should be set, the other specifying bits that should be cleared. Bits
- not mentioned in either bitmap will be ignored. Usually, the bitmap of
- bits to be cleared will be set to zero. In unusual circumstances, you
- can force a fully-specified set of file flags by setting the bitmap of
- flags to clear to the complement of the bitmap of flags to set. (This
- differs from fflagstostr(3), which only includes names for set bits.)
- Converting a bitmap to a textual string is a platform-specific operation;
- bits that are not meaningful on the current platform will be ignored.
-
- The canonical text format is a comma-separated list of flag names. The
- archive_entry_copy_fflags_text() and archive_entry_copy_fflags_text_w()
- functions parse the provided text and sets the internal bitmap values.
- This is a platform-specific operation; names that are not meaningful on
- the current platform will be ignored. The function returns a pointer to
- the start of the first name that was not recognized, or NULL if every
- name was recognized. Note that every name--including names that follow
- an unrecognized name--will be evaluated, and the bitmaps will be set to
- reflect every name that is recognized. (In particular, this differs from
- strtofflags(3), which stops parsing at the first unrecognized name.)
-
- ACL Handling
- XXX This needs serious help. XXX
-
- An ``Access Control List'' (ACL) is a list of permissions that grant
- access to particular users or groups beyond what would normally be pro-
- vided by standard POSIX mode bits. The ACL handling here addresses some
- deficiencies in the POSIX.1e draft 17 ACL specification. In particular,
- POSIX.1e draft 17 specifies several different formats, but none of those
- formats include both textual user/group names and numeric UIDs/GIDs.
-
- XXX explain ACL stuff XXX

-DESCRIPTION
- These functions provide a complete API for reading streaming archives.
- The general process is to first create the struct archive object, set
- options, initialize the reader, iterate over the archive headers and
- associated data, then close the archive and release all resources. The
- following summary describes the functions in approximately the order they
- would be used:
- archive_read_new()
- Allocates and initializes a struct archive object suitable for
- reading from an archive.
- archive_read_support_compression_all(),
- archive_read_support_compression_bzip2(),
- archive_read_support_compression_compress(),
- archive_read_support_compression_gzip(),
- archive_read_support_compression_none()
- Enables auto-detection code and decompression support for the
- specified compression. Note that ``none'' is always enabled by
- default. For convenience, archive_read_support_compression_all()
- enables all available decompression code.
- archive_read_support_compression_program()
- Data is fed through the specified external program before being
- dearchived. Note that this disables automatic detection of the
- compression format, so it makes no sense to specify this in con-
- junction with any other decompression option.
- archive_read_support_format_all(), archive_read_support_format_cpio(),
- archive_read_support_format_empty(),
- archive_read_support_format_iso9660(),
- archive_read_support_format_tar(),
- archive_read_support_format_zip()
- Enables support---including auto-detection code---for the speci-
- fied archive format. For example,
- archive_read_support_format_tar() enables support for a variety
- of standard tar formats, old-style tar, ustar, pax interchange
- format, and many common variants. For convenience,
- archive_read_support_format_all() enables support for all avail-
- able formats. Only empty archives are supported by default.
- archive_read_set_filter_options(), archive_read_set_format_options(),
- archive_read_set_options()
- Specifies options that will be passed to currently-registered
- filters (including decompression filters) and/or format readers.
- The argument is a comma-separated list of individual options.
- Individual options have one of the following forms:
- option=value
- The option/value pair will be provided to every module.
- Modules that do not accept an option with this name will
- ignore it.
- option The option will be provided to every module with a value
- of ``1''.
- !option
- The option will be provided to every module with a NULL
- value.
- module:option=value, module:option, module:!option
- As above, but the corresponding option and value will be
- provided only to modules whose name matches module.
- The return value will be ARCHIVE_OK if any module accepts the
- option, or ARCHIVE_WARN if no module accepted the option, or
- ARCHIVE_FATAL if there was a fatal error while attempting to
- process the option.
-
- The currently supported options are:
- Format iso9660
- joliet Support Joliet extensions. Defaults to enabled,
- use !joliet to disable.
- archive_read_open()
- The same as archive_read_open2(), except that the skip callback
- is assumed to be NULL.
- archive_read_open2()
- Freeze the settings, open the archive, and prepare for reading
- entries. This is the most generic version of this call, which
- accepts four callback functions. Most clients will want to use
- archive_read_open_filename(), archive_read_open_FILE(),
- archive_read_open_fd(), or archive_read_open_memory() instead.
- The library invokes the client-provided functions to obtain raw
- bytes from the archive.
- archive_read_open_FILE()
- Like archive_read_open(), except that it accepts a FILE *
- pointer. This function should not be used with tape drives or
- other devices that require strict I/O blocking.
- archive_read_open_fd()
- Like archive_read_open(), except that it accepts a file descrip-
- tor and block size rather than a set of function pointers. Note
- that the file descriptor will not be automatically closed at end-
- of-archive. This function is safe for use with tape drives or
- other blocked devices.
- archive_read_open_file()
- This is a deprecated synonym for archive_read_open_filename().
- archive_read_open_filename()
- Like archive_read_open(), except that it accepts a simple file-
- name and a block size. A NULL filename represents standard
- input. This function is safe for use with tape drives or other
- blocked devices.
- archive_read_open_memory()
- Like archive_read_open(), except that it accepts a pointer and
- size of a block of memory containing the archive data.
- archive_read_next_header()
- Read the header for the next entry and return a pointer to a
- struct archive_entry. This is a convenience wrapper around
- archive_read_next_header2() that uses an internal struct
- archive_entry object.
- archive_read_next_header2()
- Read the header for the next entry and populate the provided
- struct archive_entry.
- archive_read_data()
- Read data associated with the header just read. Internally, this
- is a convenience function that calls archive_read_data_block()
- and fills any gaps with nulls so that callers see a single con-
- tinuous stream of data.
- archive_read_data_block()
- Return the next available block of data for this entry. Unlike
- archive_read_data(), the archive_read_data_block() function
- avoids copying data and allows you to correctly handle sparse
- files, as supported by some archive formats. The library guaran-
- tees that offsets will increase and that blocks will not overlap.
- Note that the blocks returned from this function can be much
- larger than the block size read from disk, due to compression and
- internal buffer optimizations.
- archive_read_data_skip()
- A convenience function that repeatedly calls
- archive_read_data_block() to skip all of the data for this ar-
- chive entry.
- archive_read_data_into_buffer()
- This function is deprecated and will be removed. Use
- archive_read_data() instead.
- archive_read_data_into_fd()
- A convenience function that repeatedly calls
- archive_read_data_block() to copy the entire entry to the pro-
- vided file descriptor.
- archive_read_extract(), archive_read_extract_set_skip_file()
- A convenience function that wraps the corresponding
- archive_write_disk(3) interfaces. The first call to
- archive_read_extract() creates a restore object using
- archive_write_disk_new(3) and
- archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup(3), then transparently
- invokes archive_write_disk_set_options(3),
- archive_write_header(3), archive_write_data(3), and
- archive_write_finish_entry(3) to create the entry on disk and
- copy data into it. The flags argument is passed unmodified to
- archive_write_disk_set_options(3).
- archive_read_extract2()
- This is another version of archive_read_extract() that allows you
- to provide your own restore object. In particular, this allows
- you to override the standard lookup functions using
- archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup(3), and
- archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup(3). Note that
- archive_read_extract2() does not accept a flags argument; you
- should use archive_write_disk_set_options() to set the restore
- options yourself.
- archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback()
- Sets a pointer to a user-defined callback that can be used for
- updating progress displays during extraction. The progress func-
- tion will be invoked during the extraction of large regular
- files. The progress function will be invoked with the pointer
- provided to this call. Generally, the data pointed to should
- include a reference to the archive object and the archive_entry
- object so that various statistics can be retrieved for the
- progress display.
- archive_read_close()
- Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
- archive_read_finish()
- Invokes archive_read_close() if it was not invoked manually, then
- release all resources. Note: In libarchive 1.x, this function
- was declared to return void, which made it impossible to detect
- certain errors when archive_read_close() was invoked implicitly
- from this function. The declaration is corrected beginning with
- libarchive 2.0.
-
- Note that the library determines most of the relevant information about
- the archive by inspection. In particular, it automatically detects
- gzip(1) or bzip2(1) compression and transparently performs the appropri-
- ate decompression. It also automatically detects the archive format.
-
- A complete description of the struct archive and struct archive_entry
- objects can be found in the overview manual page for libarchive(3).
-
-CLIENT CALLBACKS
- The callback functions must match the following prototypes:
-
- typedef ssize_t archive_read_callback(struct archive *,
- void *client_data, const void **buffer)
-
- typedef int archive_skip_callback(struct archive *,
- void *client_data, size_t request)
-
- typedef int archive_open_callback(struct archive *, void
- *client_data)
-
- typedef int archive_close_callback(struct archive *, void
- *client_data)
-
- The open callback is invoked by archive_open(). It should return
- ARCHIVE_OK if the underlying file or data source is successfully opened.
- If the open fails, it should call archive_set_error() to register an
- error code and message and return ARCHIVE_FATAL.
-
- The read callback is invoked whenever the library requires raw bytes from
- the archive. The read callback should read data into a buffer, set the
- const void **buffer argument to point to the available data, and return a
- count of the number of bytes available. The library will invoke the read
- callback again only after it has consumed this data. The library imposes
- no constraints on the size of the data blocks returned. On end-of-file,
- the read callback should return zero. On error, the read callback should
- invoke archive_set_error() to register an error code and message and
- return -1.
-
- The skip callback is invoked when the library wants to ignore a block of
- data. The return value is the number of bytes actually skipped, which
- may differ from the request. If the callback cannot skip data, it should
- return zero. If the skip callback is not provided (the function pointer
- is NULL ), the library will invoke the read function instead and simply
- discard the result. A skip callback can provide significant performance
- gains when reading uncompressed archives from slow disk drives or other
- media that can skip quickly.
-
- The close callback is invoked by archive_close when the archive process-
- ing is complete. The callback should return ARCHIVE_OK on success. On
- failure, the callback should invoke archive_set_error() to register an
- error code and message and return ARCHIVE_FATAL.
-
-EXAMPLE
- The following illustrates basic usage of the library. In this example,
- the callback functions are simply wrappers around the standard open(2),
- read(2), and close(2) system calls.
-
- void
- list_archive(const char *name)
- {
- struct mydata *mydata;
- struct archive *a;
- struct archive_entry *entry;
-
- mydata = malloc(sizeof(struct mydata));
- a = archive_read_new();
- mydata->name = name;
- archive_read_support_compression_all(a);
- archive_read_support_format_all(a);
- archive_read_open(a, mydata, myopen, myread, myclose);
- while (archive_read_next_header(a, &entry) == ARCHIVE_OK) {
- printf("%s\n",archive_entry_pathname(entry));
- archive_read_data_skip(a);
- }
- archive_read_finish(a);
- free(mydata);
- }
-
- ssize_t
- myread(struct archive *a, void *client_data, const void **buff)
- {
- struct mydata *mydata = client_data;
-
- *buff = mydata->buff;
- return (read(mydata->fd, mydata->buff, 10240));
- }
-
- int
- myopen(struct archive *a, void *client_data)
- {
- struct mydata *mydata = client_data;
-
- mydata->fd = open(mydata->name, O_RDONLY);
- return (mydata->fd >= 0 ? ARCHIVE_OK : ARCHIVE_FATAL);
- }
-
- int
- myclose(struct archive *a, void *client_data)
- {
- struct mydata *mydata = client_data;
-
- if (mydata->fd > 0)
- close(mydata->fd);
- return (ARCHIVE_OK);
- }
-
-RETURN VALUES
- Most functions return zero on success, non-zero on error. The possible
- return codes include: ARCHIVE_OK (the operation succeeded), ARCHIVE_WARN
- (the operation succeeded but a non-critical error was encountered),
- ARCHIVE_EOF (end-of-archive was encountered), ARCHIVE_RETRY (the opera-
- tion failed but can be retried), and ARCHIVE_FATAL (there was a fatal
- error; the archive should be closed immediately). Detailed error codes
- and textual descriptions are available from the archive_errno() and
- archive_error_string() functions.
-
- archive_read_new() returns a pointer to a freshly allocated struct
- archive object. It returns NULL on error.
-
- archive_read_data() returns a count of bytes actually read or zero at the
- end of the entry. On error, a value of ARCHIVE_FATAL, ARCHIVE_WARN, or
- ARCHIVE_RETRY is returned and an error code and textual description can
- be retrieved from the archive_errno() and archive_error_string() func-
- tions.
-
- The library expects the client callbacks to behave similarly. If there
- is an error, you can use archive_set_error() to set an appropriate error
- code and description, then return one of the non-zero values above.
- (Note that the value eventually returned to the client may not be the
- same; many errors that are not critical at the level of basic I/O can
- prevent the archive from being properly read, thus most I/O errors even-
- tually cause ARCHIVE_FATAL to be returned.)

-
-BUGS
- Many traditional archiver programs treat empty files as valid empty ar-
- chives. For example, many implementations of tar(1) allow you to append
- entries to an empty file. Of course, it is impossible to determine the
- format of an empty file by inspecting the contents, so this library
- treats empty files as having a special ``empty'' format.

-DESCRIPTION
- These functions provide an API for reading information about objects on
- disk. In particular, they provide an interface for populating struct
- archive_entry objects.
-
- archive_read_disk_new()
- Allocates and initializes a struct archive object suitable for
- reading object information from disk.
-
- archive_read_disk_set_symlink_logical(),
- archive_read_disk_set_symlink_physical(),
- archive_read_disk_set_symlink_hybrid()
- This sets the mode used for handling symbolic links. The
- ``logical'' mode follows all symbolic links. The ``physical''
- mode does not follow any symbolic links. The ``hybrid'' mode
- currently behaves identically to the ``logical'' mode.
-
- archive_read_disk_gname(), archive_read_disk_uname()
- Returns a user or group name given a gid or uid value. By
- default, these always return a NULL string.
-
- archive_read_disk_set_gname_lookup(),
- archive_read_disk_set_uname_lookup()
- These allow you to override the functions used for user and group
- name lookups. You may also provide a void * pointer to a private
- data structure and a cleanup function for that data. The cleanup
- function will be invoked when the struct archive object is
- destroyed or when new lookup functions are registered.
-
- archive_read_disk_set_standard_lookup()
- This convenience function installs a standard set of user and
- group name lookup functions. These functions use getpwid(3) and
- getgrid(3) to convert ids to names, defaulting to NULL if the
- names cannot be looked up. These functions also implement a sim-
- ple memory cache to reduce the number of calls to getpwid(3) and
- getgrid(3).
-
- archive_read_disk_entry_from_file()
- Populates a struct archive_entry object with information about a
- particular file. The archive_entry object must have already been
- created with archive_entry_new(3) and at least one of the source
- path or path fields must already be set. (If both are set, the
- source path will be used.)
-
- Information is read from disk using the path name from the struct
- archive_entry object. If a file descriptor is provided, some
- information will be obtained using that file descriptor, on plat-
- forms that support the appropriate system calls.
-
- If a pointer to a struct stat is provided, information from that
- structure will be used instead of reading from the disk where
- appropriate. This can provide performance benefits in scenarios
- where struct stat information has already been read from the disk
- as a side effect of some other operation. (For example, direc-
- tory traversal libraries often provide this information.)
-
- Where necessary, user and group ids are converted to user and
- group names using the currently registered lookup functions
- above. This affects the file ownership fields and ACL values in
- the struct archive_entry object.
-
- archive_read_close()
- This currently does nothing.
-
- archive_write_finish()
- Invokes archive_write_close() if it was not invoked manually,
- then releases all resources.
- More information about the struct archive object and the overall design
- of the library can be found in the libarchive(3) overview.
-
-EXAMPLE
- The following illustrates basic usage of the library by showing how to
- use it to copy an item on disk into an archive.
-
- void
- file_to_archive(struct archive *a, const char *name)
- {
- char buff[8192];
- size_t bytes_read;
- struct archive *ard;
- struct archive_entry *entry;
- int fd;
-
- ard = archive_read_disk_new();
- archive_read_disk_set_standard_lookup(ard);
- entry = archive_entry_new();
- fd = open(name, O_RDONLY);
- if (fd < 0)
- return;
- archive_entry_copy_sourcepath(entry, name);
- archive_read_disk_entry_from_file(ard, entry, fd, NULL);
- archive_write_header(a, entry);
- while ((bytes_read = read(fd, buff, sizeof(buff))) > 0)
- archive_write_data(a, buff, bytes_read);
- archive_write_finish_entry(a);
- archive_read_finish(ard);
- archive_entry_free(entry);
- }
-
-RETURN VALUES
- Most functions return ARCHIVE_OK (zero) on success, or one of several
- negative error codes for errors. Specific error codes include:
- ARCHIVE_RETRY for operations that might succeed if retried, ARCHIVE_WARN
- for unusual conditions that do not prevent further operations, and
- ARCHIVE_FATAL for serious errors that make remaining operations impossi-
- ble. The archive_errno(3) and archive_error_string(3) functions can be
- used to retrieve an appropriate error code and a textual error message.
- (See archive_util(3) for details.)
-
- archive_read_disk_new() returns a pointer to a newly-allocated struct
- archive object or NULL if the allocation failed for any reason.
-
- archive_read_disk_gname() and archive_read_disk_uname() return const char
- * pointers to the textual name or NULL if the lookup failed for any rea-
- son. The returned pointer points to internal storage that may be reused
- on the next call to either of these functions; callers should copy the
- string if they need to continue accessing it.

- archive_read(3), archive_write(3), archive_write_disk(3), tar(1),

-
-HISTORY
- The libarchive library first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3. The
- archive_read_disk interface was added to libarchive 2.6 and first
- appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.
-
-AUTHORS
- The libarchive library was written by Tim Kientzle
- <kientzle@freebsd.org>.
-
-BUGS
- The ``standard'' user name and group name lookup functions are not the
- defaults because getgrid(3) and getpwid(3) are sometimes too large for
- particular applications. The current design allows the application
- author to use a more compact implementation when appropriate.
-
- The full list of metadata read from disk by
- archive_read_disk_entry_from_file() is necessarily system-dependent.
-
- The archive_read_disk_entry_from_file() function reads as much informa-
- tion as it can from disk. Some method should be provided to limit this
- so that clients who do not need ACLs, for instance, can avoid the extra
- work needed to look up such information.
-
- This API should provide a set of methods for walking a directory tree.
- That would make it a direct parallel of the archive_read(3) API. When
- such methods are implemented, the ``hybrid'' symbolic link mode will make
- sense.

-DESCRIPTION
- These functions provide access to various information about the struct
- archive object used in the libarchive(3) library.
- archive_clear_error()
- Clears any error information left over from a previous call. Not
- generally used in client code.
- archive_compression()
- Returns a numeric code indicating the current compression. This
- value is set by archive_read_open().
- archive_compression_name()
- Returns a text description of the current compression suitable
- for display.
- archive_copy_error()
- Copies error information from one archive to another.
- archive_errno()
- Returns a numeric error code (see errno(2)) indicating the reason
- for the most recent error return.
- archive_error_string()
- Returns a textual error message suitable for display. The error
- message here is usually more specific than that obtained from
- passing the result of archive_errno() to strerror(3).
- archive_format()
- Returns a numeric code indicating the format of the current ar-
- chive entry. This value is set by a successful call to
- archive_read_next_header(). Note that it is common for this
- value to change from entry to entry. For example, a tar archive
- might have several entries that utilize GNU tar extensions and
- several entries that do not. These entries will have different
- format codes.
- archive_format_name()
- A textual description of the format of the current entry.
- archive_set_error()
- Sets the numeric error code and error description that will be
- returned by archive_errno() and archive_error_string(). This
- function should be used within I/O callbacks to set system-spe-
- cific error codes and error descriptions. This function accepts
- a printf-like format string and arguments. However, you should
- be careful to use only the following printf format specifiers:
- ``%c'', ``%d'', ``%jd'', ``%jo'', ``%ju'', ``%jx'', ``%ld'',
- ``%lo'', ``%lu'', ``%lx'', ``%o'', ``%u'', ``%s'', ``%x'',
- ``%%''. Field-width specifiers and other printf features are not
- uniformly supported and should not be used.

-DESCRIPTION
- These functions provide a complete API for creating streaming archive
- files. The general process is to first create the struct archive object,
- set any desired options, initialize the archive, append entries, then
- close the archive and release all resources. The following summary
- describes the functions in approximately the order they are ordinarily
- used:
-
- archive_write_new()
- Allocates and initializes a struct archive object suitable for
- writing a tar archive.
-
- archive_write_set_bytes_per_block()
- Sets the block size used for writing the archive data. Every
- call to the write callback function, except possibly the last
- one, will use this value for the length. The third parameter is
- a boolean that specifies whether or not the final block written
- will be padded to the full block size. If it is zero, the last
- block will not be padded. If it is non-zero, padding will be
- added both before and after compression. The default is to use a
- block size of 10240 bytes and to pad the last block. Note that a
- block size of zero will suppress internal blocking and cause
- writes to be sent directly to the write callback as they occur.
-
- archive_write_get_bytes_per_block()
- Retrieve the block size to be used for writing. A value of -1
- here indicates that the library should use default values. A
- value of zero indicates that internal blocking is suppressed.
-
- archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block()
- Sets the block size used for writing the last block. If this
- value is zero, the last block will be padded to the same size as
- the other blocks. Otherwise, the final block will be padded to a
- multiple of this size. In particular, setting it to 1 will cause
- the final block to not be padded. For compressed output, any
- padding generated by this option is applied only after the com-
- pression. The uncompressed data is always unpadded. The default
- is to pad the last block to the full block size (note that
- archive_write_open_filename() will set this based on the file
- type). Unlike the other ``set'' functions, this function can be
- called after the archive is opened.
-
- archive_write_get_bytes_in_last_block()
- Retrieve the currently-set value for last block size. A value of
- -1 here indicates that the library should use default values.
-
- archive_write_set_format_cpio(), archive_write_set_format_pax(),
- archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted(),
- archive_write_set_format_shar(),
- archive_write_set_format_shar_binary(),
- archive_write_set_format_ustar()
- Sets the format that will be used for the archive. The library
- can write POSIX octet-oriented cpio format archives, POSIX-stan-
- dard ``pax interchange'' format archives, traditional ``shar''
- archives, enhanced ``binary'' shar archives that store a variety
- of file attributes and handle binary files, and POSIX-standard
- ``ustar'' archives. The pax interchange format is a backwards-
- compatible tar format that adds key/value attributes to each
- entry and supports arbitrary filenames, linknames, uids, sizes,
- etc. ``Restricted pax interchange format'' is the library
- default; this is the same as pax format, but suppresses the pax
- extended header for most normal files. In most cases, this will
- result in ordinary ustar archives.
-
- archive_write_set_compression_bzip2(),
- archive_write_set_compression_compress(),
- archive_write_set_compression_gzip(),
- archive_write_set_compression_none()
- The resulting archive will be compressed as specified. Note that
- the compressed output is always properly blocked.
-
- archive_write_set_compression_program()
- The archive will be fed into the specified compression program.
- The output of that program is blocked and written to the client
- write callbacks.
-
- archive_write_set_compressor_options(),
- archive_write_set_format_options(), archive_write_set_options()
- Specifies options that will be passed to the currently-enabled
- compressor and/or format writer. The argument is a comma-sepa-
- rated list of individual options. Individual options have one of
- the following forms:
- option=value
- The option/value pair will be provided to every module.
- Modules that do not accept an option with this name will
- ignore it.
- option The option will be provided to every module with a value
- of ``1''.
- !option
- The option will be provided to every module with a NULL
- value.
- module:option=value, module:option, module:!option
- As above, but the corresponding option and value will be
- provided only to modules whose name matches module.
- The return value will be ARCHIVE_OK if any module accepts the
- option, or ARCHIVE_WARN if no module accepted the option, or
- ARCHIVE_FATAL if there was a fatal error while attempting to
- process the option.
-
- The currently supported options are:
- Compressor gzip
- compression-level
- The value is interpreted as a decimal integer
- specifying the gzip compression level.
- Compressor xz
- compression-level
- The value is interpreted as a decimal integer
- specifying the compression level.
- Format mtree
- cksum, device, flags, gid, gname, indent, link, md5,
- mode, nlink, rmd160, sha1, sha256, sha384,
- sha512, size, time, uid, uname
- Enable a particular keyword in the mtree output.
- Prefix with an exclamation mark to disable the
- corresponding keyword. The default is equivalent
- to ``device, flags, gid, gname, link, mode,
- nlink, size, time, type, uid, uname''.
- all Enables all of the above keywords.
- use-set
- Enables generation of /set lines that specify
- default values for the following files and/or
- directories.
- indent XXX needs explanation XXX
-
- archive_write_open()
- Freeze the settings, open the archive, and prepare for writing
- entries. This is the most generic form of this function, which
- accepts pointers to three callback functions which will be
- invoked by the compression layer to write the constructed ar-
- chive.
-
- archive_write_open_fd()
- A convenience form of archive_write_open() that accepts a file
- descriptor. The archive_write_open_fd() function is safe for use
- with tape drives or other block-oriented devices.
-
- archive_write_open_FILE()
- A convenience form of archive_write_open() that accepts a FILE *
- pointer. Note that archive_write_open_FILE() is not safe for
- writing to tape drives or other devices that require correct
- blocking.
-
- archive_write_open_file()
- A deprecated synonym for archive_write_open_filename().
-
- archive_write_open_filename()
- A convenience form of archive_write_open() that accepts a file-
- name. A NULL argument indicates that the output should be writ-
- ten to standard output; an argument of ``-'' will open a file
- with that name. If you have not invoked
- archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block(), then
- archive_write_open_filename() will adjust the last-block padding
- depending on the file: it will enable padding when writing to
- standard output or to a character or block device node, it will
- disable padding otherwise. You can override this by manually
- invoking archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block() before calling
- archive_write_open(). The archive_write_open_filename() function
- is safe for use with tape drives or other block-oriented devices.
-
- archive_write_open_memory()
- A convenience form of archive_write_open() that accepts a pointer
- to a block of memory that will receive the archive. The final
- size_t * argument points to a variable that will be updated after
- each write to reflect how much of the buffer is currently in use.
- You should be careful to ensure that this variable remains allo-
- cated until after the archive is closed.
-
- archive_write_header()
- Build and write a header using the data in the provided struct
- archive_entry structure. See archive_entry(3) for information on
- creating and populating struct archive_entry objects.
-
- archive_write_data()
- Write data corresponding to the header just written. Returns
- number of bytes written or -1 on error.
-
- archive_write_finish_entry()
- Close out the entry just written. In particular, this writes out
- the final padding required by some formats. Ordinarily, clients
- never need to call this, as it is called automatically by
- archive_write_next_header() and archive_write_close() as needed.
-
- archive_write_close()
- Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
-
- archive_write_finish()
- Invokes archive_write_close() if it was not invoked manually,
- then releases all resources. Note that this function was
- declared to return void in libarchive 1.x, which made it impossi-
- ble to detect errors when archive_write_close() was invoked
- implicitly from this function. This is corrected beginning with
- libarchive 2.0.
- More information about the struct archive object and the overall design
- of the library can be found in the libarchive(3) overview.
-
-IMPLEMENTATION
- Compression support is built-in to libarchive, which uses zlib and bzlib
- to handle gzip and bzip2 compression, respectively.
-
-CLIENT CALLBACKS
- To use this library, you will need to define and register callback func-
- tions that will be invoked to write data to the resulting archive. These
- functions are registered by calling archive_write_open():
-
- typedef int archive_open_callback(struct archive *, void
- *client_data)
-
- The open callback is invoked by archive_write_open(). It should return
- ARCHIVE_OK if the underlying file or data source is successfully opened.
- If the open fails, it should call archive_set_error() to register an
- error code and message and return ARCHIVE_FATAL.
-
- typedef ssize_t archive_write_callback(struct archive *,
- void *client_data, const void *buffer, size_t length)
-
- The write callback is invoked whenever the library needs to write raw
- bytes to the archive. For correct blocking, each call to the write call-
- back function should translate into a single write(2) system call. This
- is especially critical when writing archives to tape drives. On success,
- the write callback should return the number of bytes actually written.
- On error, the callback should invoke archive_set_error() to register an
- error code and message and return -1.
-
- typedef int archive_close_callback(struct archive *, void
- *client_data)
-
- The close callback is invoked by archive_close when the archive process-
- ing is complete. The callback should return ARCHIVE_OK on success. On
- failure, the callback should invoke archive_set_error() to register an
- error code and message and return ARCHIVE_FATAL.
-
-EXAMPLE
- The following sketch illustrates basic usage of the library. In this
- example, the callback functions are simply wrappers around the standard
- open(2), write(2), and close(2) system calls.
-

-
- int

-
- mydata->fd = open(mydata->name, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0644);
- if (mydata->fd >= 0)
- return (ARCHIVE_OK);
- else
- return (ARCHIVE_FATAL);
- }
-
- ssize_t
- mywrite(struct archive *a, void *client_data, const void *buff, size_t n)

- close(mydata->fd);
- return (0);
- }
-
- void
- write_archive(const char *outname, const char **filename)
- {
- struct mydata *mydata = malloc(sizeof(struct mydata));
- struct archive *a;
- struct archive_entry *entry;

- while (*filename) {
- stat(*filename, &st);
- entry = archive_entry_new();
- archive_entry_copy_stat(entry, &st);
- archive_entry_set_pathname(entry, *filename);
- archive_write_header(a, entry);
- fd = open(*filename, O_RDONLY);
- len = read(fd, buff, sizeof(buff));
- while ( len > 0 ) {
- archive_write_data(a, buff, len);
- len = read(fd, buff, sizeof(buff));
- }
- archive_entry_free(entry);
- filename++;
- }
- archive_write_finish(a);
- }
-
- int main(int argc, const char **argv)
- {
- const char *outname;
- argv++;
- outname = argv++;
- write_archive(outname, argv);
- return 0;
- }
-
-RETURN VALUES
- Most functions return ARCHIVE_OK (zero) on success, or one of several
- non-zero error codes for errors. Specific error codes include:
- ARCHIVE_RETRY for operations that might succeed if retried, ARCHIVE_WARN
- for unusual conditions that do not prevent further operations, and
- ARCHIVE_FATAL for serious errors that make remaining operations impossi-
- ble. The archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions can be
- used to retrieve an appropriate error code and a textual error message.
-
- archive_write_new() returns a pointer to a newly-allocated struct archive
- object.
-
- archive_write_data() returns a count of the number of bytes actually
- written. On error, -1 is returned and the archive_errno() and
- archive_error_string() functions will return appropriate values. Note
- that if the client-provided write callback function returns a non-zero
- value, that error will be propagated back to the caller through whatever
- API function resulted in that call, which may include
- archive_write_header(), archive_write_data(), archive_write_close(), or
- archive_write_finish(). The client callback can call archive_set_error()
- to provide values that can then be retrieved by archive_errno() and
- archive_error_string().

-
-BUGS
- There are many peculiar bugs in historic tar implementations that may
- cause certain programs to reject archives written by this library. For
- example, several historic implementations calculated header checksums
- incorrectly and will thus reject valid archives; GNU tar does not fully
- support pax interchange format; some old tar implementations required
- specific field terminations.
-
- The default pax interchange format eliminates most of the historic tar
- limitations and provides a generic key/value attribute facility for ven-
- dor-defined extensions. One oversight in POSIX is the failure to provide
- a standard attribute for large device numbers. This library uses
- ``SCHILY.devminor'' and ``SCHILY.devmajor'' for device numbers that
- exceed the range supported by the backwards-compatible ustar header.
- These keys are compatible with Joerg Schilling's star archiver. Other
- implementations may not recognize these keys and will thus be unable to
- correctly restore device nodes with large device numbers from archives
- created by this library.

-DESCRIPTION
- These functions provide a complete API for creating objects on disk from
- struct archive_entry descriptions. They are most naturally used when
- extracting objects from an archive using the archive_read() interface.
- The general process is to read struct archive_entry objects from an ar-
- chive, then write those objects to a struct archive object created using
- the archive_write_disk() family functions. This interface is deliber-
- ately very similar to the archive_write() interface used to write objects
- to a streaming archive.
-
- archive_write_disk_new()
- Allocates and initializes a struct archive object suitable for
- writing objects to disk.
-
- archive_write_disk_set_skip_file()
- Records the device and inode numbers of a file that should not be
- overwritten. This is typically used to ensure that an extraction
- process does not overwrite the archive from which objects are
- being read. This capability is technically unnecessary but can
- be a significant performance optimization in practice.
-
- archive_write_disk_set_options()
- The options field consists of a bitwise OR of one or more of the
- following values:
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_OWNER
- The user and group IDs should be set on the restored
- file. By default, the user and group IDs are not
- restored.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_PERM
- Full permissions (including SGID, SUID, and sticky bits)
- should be restored exactly as specified, without obeying
- the current umask. Note that SUID and SGID bits can only
- be restored if the user and group ID of the object on
- disk are correct. If ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_OWNER is not speci-
- fied, then SUID and SGID bits will only be restored if
- the default user and group IDs of newly-created objects
- on disk happen to match those specified in the archive
- entry. By default, only basic permissions are restored,
- and umask is obeyed.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_TIME
- The timestamps (mtime, ctime, and atime) should be
- restored. By default, they are ignored. Note that
- restoring of atime is not currently supported.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_NO_OVERWRITE
- Existing files on disk will not be overwritten. By
- default, existing regular files are truncated and over-
- written; existing directories will have their permissions
- updated; other pre-existing objects are unlinked and
- recreated from scratch.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_UNLINK
- Existing files on disk will be unlinked before any
- attempt to create them. In some cases, this can prove to
- be a significant performance improvement. By default,
- existing files are truncated and rewritten, but the file
- is not recreated. In particular, the default behavior
- does not break existing hard links.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_ACL
- Attempt to restore ACLs. By default, extended ACLs are
- ignored.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_FFLAGS
- Attempt to restore extended file flags. By default, file
- flags are ignored.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_XATTR
- Attempt to restore POSIX.1e extended attributes. By
- default, they are ignored.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINKS
- Refuse to extract any object whose final location would
- be altered by a symlink on disk. This is intended to
- help guard against a variety of mischief caused by ar-
- chives that (deliberately or otherwise) extract files
- outside of the current directory. The default is not to
- perform this check. If ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_UNLINK is speci-
- fied together with this option, the library will remove
- any intermediate symlinks it finds and return an error
- only if such symlink could not be removed.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT
- Refuse to extract a path that contains a .. element any-
- where within it. The default is to not refuse such
- paths. Note that paths ending in .. always cause an
- error, regardless of this flag.
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SPARSE
- Scan data for blocks of NUL bytes and try to recreate
- them with holes. This results in sparse files, indepen-
- dent of whether the archive format supports or uses them.
-
- archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup(),
- archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup()
- The struct archive_entry objects contain both names and ids that
- can be used to identify users and groups. These names and ids
- describe the ownership of the file itself and also appear in ACL
- lists. By default, the library uses the ids and ignores the
- names, but this can be overridden by registering user and group
- lookup functions. To register, you must provide a lookup func-
- tion which accepts both a name and id and returns a suitable id.
- You may also provide a void * pointer to a private data structure
- and a cleanup function for that data. The cleanup function will
- be invoked when the struct archive object is destroyed.
-
- archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup()
- This convenience function installs a standard set of user and
- group lookup functions. These functions use getpwnam(3) and
- getgrnam(3) to convert names to ids, defaulting to the ids if the
- names cannot be looked up. These functions also implement a sim-
- ple memory cache to reduce the number of calls to getpwnam(3) and
- getgrnam(3).
-
- archive_write_header()
- Build and write a header using the data in the provided struct
- archive_entry structure. See archive_entry(3) for information on
- creating and populating struct archive_entry objects.
-
- archive_write_data()
- Write data corresponding to the header just written. Returns
- number of bytes written or -1 on error.
-
- archive_write_finish_entry()
- Close out the entry just written. Ordinarily, clients never need
- to call this, as it is called automatically by
- archive_write_next_header() and archive_write_close() as needed.
-
- archive_write_close()
- Set any attributes that could not be set during the initial
- restore. For example, directory timestamps are not restored ini-
- tially because restoring a subsequent file would alter that time-
- stamp. Similarly, non-writable directories are initially created
- with write permissions (so that their contents can be restored).
- The archive_write_disk_new library maintains a list of all such
- deferred attributes and sets them when this function is invoked.
-
- archive_write_finish()
- Invokes archive_write_close() if it was not invoked manually,
- then releases all resources.
- More information about the struct archive object and the overall design
- of the library can be found in the libarchive(3) overview. Many of these
- functions are also documented under archive_write(3).
-
-RETURN VALUES
- Most functions return ARCHIVE_OK (zero) on success, or one of several
- non-zero error codes for errors. Specific error codes include:
- ARCHIVE_RETRY for operations that might succeed if retried, ARCHIVE_WARN
- for unusual conditions that do not prevent further operations, and
- ARCHIVE_FATAL for serious errors that make remaining operations impossi-
- ble. The archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions can be
- used to retrieve an appropriate error code and a textual error message.
-
- archive_write_disk_new() returns a pointer to a newly-allocated struct
- archive object.
-
- archive_write_data() returns a count of the number of bytes actually
- written. On error, -1 is returned and the archive_errno() and
- archive_error_string() functions will return appropriate values.

-HISTORY
- The libarchive library first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3. The

-AUTHORS
- The libarchive library was written by Tim Kientzle <kientzle@acm.org>.
-
-BUGS
- Directories are actually extracted in two distinct phases. Directories
- are created during archive_write_header(), but final permissions are not
- set until archive_write_close(). This separation is necessary to cor-
- rectly handle borderline cases such as a non-writable directory contain-
- ing files, but can cause unexpected results. In particular, directory
- permissions are not fully restored until the archive is closed. If you
- use chdir(2) to change the current directory between calls to
- archive_read_extract() or before calling archive_read_close(), you may
- confuse the permission-setting logic with the result that directory per-
- missions are restored incorrectly.
-
- The library attempts to create objects with filenames longer than
- PATH_MAX by creating prefixes of the full path and changing the current
- directory. Currently, this logic is limited in scope; the fixup pass
- does not work correctly for such objects and the symlink security check
- option disables the support for very long pathnames.
-
- Restoring the path aa/../bb does create each intermediate directory. In
- particular, the directory aa is created as well as the final object bb.
- In theory, this can be exploited to create an entire directory heirarchy
- with a single request. Of course, this does not work if the
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_NODOTDOT option is specified.
-
- Implicit directories are always created obeying the current umask.
- Explicit objects are created obeying the current umask unless
- ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_PERM is specified, in which case they current umask is
- ignored.
-
- SGID and SUID bits are restored only if the correct user and group could
- be set. If ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_OWNER is not specified, then no attempt is
- made to set the ownership. In this case, SGID and SUID bits are restored
- only if the user and group of the final object happen to match those
- specified in the entry.
-
- The ``standard'' user-id and group-id lookup functions are not the
- defaults because getgrnam(3) and getpwnam(3) are sometimes too large for
- particular applications. The current design allows the application
- author to use a more compact implementation when appropriate.
-
- There should be a corresponding archive_read_disk interface that walks a
- directory heirarchy and returns archive entry objects.

-NAME
- cpio -- copy files to and from archives
-
-SYNOPSIS
- cpio {-i} [options] [pattern ...] [< archive]
- cpio {-o} [options] < name-list [> archive]
- cpio {-p} [options] dest-dir < name-list
-
-DESCRIPTION
- cpio copies files between archives and directories. This implementation
- can extract from tar, pax, cpio, zip, jar, ar, and ISO 9660 cdrom images
- and can create tar, pax, cpio, ar, and shar archives.
-
- The first option to cpio is a mode indicator from the following list:
- -i Input. Read an archive from standard input (unless overriden)
- and extract the contents to disk or (if the -t option is speci-
- fied) list the contents to standard output. If one or more file
- patterns are specified, only files matching one of the patterns
- will be extracted.
- -o Output. Read a list of filenames from standard input and produce
- a new archive on standard output (unless overriden) containing
- the specified items.
- -p Pass-through. Read a list of filenames from standard input and
- copy the files to the specified directory.
-
-OPTIONS
- Unless specifically stated otherwise, options are applicable in all oper-
- ating modes.
-
- -A (o mode only) Append to the specified archive. (Not yet imple-
- mented.)
-
- -a (o and p modes) Reset access times on files after they are read.
-
- -B (o mode only) Block output to records of 5120 bytes.
-
- -C size
- (o mode only) Block output to records of size bytes.
-
- -c (o mode only) Use the old POSIX portable character format.
- Equivalent to --format odc.
-
- -d (i and p modes) Create directories as necessary.
-
- -E file
- (i mode only) Read list of file name patterns from file to list
- and extract.
-
- -F file
- Read archive from or write archive to file.
-
- -f pattern
- (i mode only) Ignore files that match pattern.
-
- --format format
- (o mode only) Produce the output archive in the specified format.
- Supported formats include:
-
- cpio Synonym for odc.
- newc The SVR4 portable cpio format.
- odc The old POSIX.1 portable octet-oriented cpio format.
- pax The POSIX.1 pax format, an extension of the ustar for-
- mat.
- ustar The POSIX.1 tar format.
-
- The default format is odc. See libarchive_formats(5) for more
- complete information about the formats currently supported by the
- underlying libarchive(3) library.
-
- -I file
- Read archive from file.
-
- -i Input mode. See above for description.
-
- --insecure
- (i and p mode only) Disable security checks during extraction or
- copying. This allows extraction via symbolic links and path
- names containing `..' in the name.
-
- -L (o and p modes) All symbolic links will be followed. Normally,
- symbolic links are archived and copied as symbolic links. With
- this option, the target of the link will be archived or copied
- instead.
-
- -l (p mode only) Create links from the target directory to the orig-
- inal files, instead of copying.
-
- -m (i and p modes) Set file modification time on created files to
- match those in the source.
-
- -n (i mode, only with -t) Display numeric uid and gid. By default,
- cpio displays the user and group names when they are provided in
- the archive, or looks up the user and group names in the system
- password database.
-
- -O file
- Write archive to file.
-
- -o Output mode. See above for description.
-
- -p Pass-through mode. See above for description.
-
- --quiet
- Suppress unnecessary messages.
-
- -R [user][:][group]
- Set the owner and/or group on files in the output. If group is
- specified with no user (for example, -R :wheel) then the group
- will be set but not the user. If the user is specified with a
- trailing colon and no group (for example, -R root:) then the
- group will be set to the user's default group. If the user is
- specified with no trailing colon, then the user will be set but
- not the group. In -i and -p modes, this option can only be used
- by the super-user. (For compatibility, a period can be used in
- place of the colon.)
-
- -r (All modes.) Rename files interactively. For each file, a
- prompt is written to /dev/tty containing the name of the file and
- a line is read from /dev/tty. If the line read is blank, the
- file is skipped. If the line contains a single period, the file
- is processed normally. Otherwise, the line is taken to be the
- new name of the file.
-
- -t (i mode only) List the contents of the archive to stdout; do not
- restore the contents to disk.
-
- -u (i and p modes) Unconditionally overwrite existing files. Ordi-
- narily, an older file will not overwrite a newer file on disk.
-
- -v Print the name of each file to stderr as it is processed. With
- -t, provide a detailed listing of each file.
-
- --version
- Print the program version information and exit.
-
- -y (o mode only) Compress the archive with bzip2-compatible compres-
- sion before writing it. In input mode, this option is ignored;
- bzip2 compression is recognized automatically on input.
-
- -Z (o mode only) Compress the archive with compress-compatible com-
- pression before writing it. In input mode, this option is
- ignored; compression is recognized automatically on input.
-
- -z (o mode only) Compress the archive with gzip-compatible compres-
- sion before writing it. In input mode, this option is ignored;
- gzip compression is recognized automatically on input.
-
-ENVIRONMENT
- The following environment variables affect the execution of cpio:
-
- LANG The locale to use. See environ(7) for more information.
-
- TZ The timezone to use when displaying dates. See environ(7) for
- more information.
-
-EXIT STATUS
- The cpio utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
-
-EXAMPLES
- The cpio command is traditionally used to copy file heirarchies in con-
- junction with the find(1) command. The first example here simply copies
- all files from src to dest:
- find src | cpio -pmud dest
-
- By carefully selecting options to the find(1) command and combining it
- with other standard utilities, it is possible to exercise very fine con-
- trol over which files are copied. This next example copies files from
- src to dest that are more than 2 days old and whose names match a partic-
- ular pattern:
- find src -mtime +2 | grep foo[bar] | cpio -pdmu dest
-
- This example copies files from src to dest that are more than 2 days old
- and which contain the word ``foobar'':
- find src -mtime +2 | xargs grep -l foobar | cpio -pdmu dest
-
-COMPATIBILITY
- The mode options i, o, and p and the options a, B, c, d, f, l, m, r, t,
- u, and v comply with SUSv2.
-
- The old POSIX.1 standard specified that only -i, -o, and -p were inter-
- preted as command-line options. Each took a single argument of a list of
- modifier characters. For example, the standard syntax allows -imu but
- does not support -miu or -i -m -u, since m and u are only modifiers to
- -i, they are not command-line options in their own right. The syntax
- supported by this implementation is backwards-compatible with the stan-
- dard. For best compatibility, scripts should limit themselves to the
- standard syntax.

-
-STANDARDS
- There is no current POSIX standard for the cpio command; it appeared in
- ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (``POSIX.1'') but was dropped from IEEE Std
- 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
-
- The cpio, ustar, and pax interchange file formats are defined by IEEE Std
- 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') for the pax command.
-
-HISTORY
- The original cpio and find utilities were written by Dick Haight while
- working in AT&T's Unix Support Group. They first appeared in 1977 in
- PWB/UNIX 1.0, the ``Programmer's Work Bench'' system developed for use
- within AT&T. They were first released outside of AT&T as part of System
- III Unix in 1981. As a result, cpio actually predates tar, even though
- it was not well-known outside of AT&T until some time later.
-
- This is a complete re-implementation based on the libarchive(3) library.
-
-BUGS
- The cpio archive format has several basic limitations: It does not store
- user and group names, only numbers. As a result, it cannot be reliably
- used to transfer files between systems with dissimilar user and group
- numbering. Older cpio formats limit the user and group numbers to 16 or
- 18 bits, which is insufficient for modern systems. The cpio archive for-
- mats cannot support files over 4 gigabytes, except for the ``odc'' vari-
- ant, which can support files up to 8 gigabytes.

-NAME
- tar -- manipulate tape archives
-
-SYNOPSIS
- tar [bundled-flags <args>] [<file> | <pattern> ...]
- tar {-c} [options] [files | directories]
- tar {-r | -u} -f archive-file [options] [files | directories]
- tar {-t | -x} [options] [patterns]
-
-DESCRIPTION
- tar creates and manipulates streaming archive files. This implementation
- can extract from tar, pax, cpio, zip, jar, ar, and ISO 9660 cdrom images
- and can create tar, pax, cpio, ar, and shar archives.
-
- The first synopsis form shows a ``bundled'' option word. This usage is
- provided for compatibility with historical implementations. See COMPATI-
- BILITY below for details.
-
- The other synopsis forms show the preferred usage. The first option to
- tar is a mode indicator from the following list:
- -c Create a new archive containing the specified items.
- -r Like -c, but new entries are appended to the archive. Note that
- this only works on uncompressed archives stored in regular files.
- The -f option is required.
- -t List archive contents to stdout.
- -u Like -r, but new entries are added only if they have a modifica-
- tion date newer than the corresponding entry in the archive.
- Note that this only works on uncompressed archives stored in reg-
- ular files. The -f option is required.
- -x Extract to disk from the archive. If a file with the same name
- appears more than once in the archive, each copy will be
- extracted, with later copies overwriting (replacing) earlier
- copies.
-
- In -c, -r, or -u mode, each specified file or directory is added to the
- archive in the order specified on the command line. By default, the con-
- tents of each directory are also archived.
-
- In extract or list mode, the entire command line is read and parsed
- before the archive is opened. The pathnames or patterns on the command
- line indicate which items in the archive should be processed. Patterns
- are shell-style globbing patterns as documented in tcsh(1).
-
-OPTIONS
- Unless specifically stated otherwise, options are applicable in all oper-
- ating modes.
-
- @archive
- (c and r mode only) The specified archive is opened and the
- entries in it will be appended to the current archive. As a sim-
- ple example,
- tar -c -f - newfile @original.tar
- writes a new archive to standard output containing a file newfile
- and all of the entries from original.tar. In contrast,
- tar -c -f - newfile original.tar
- creates a new archive with only two entries. Similarly,
- tar -czf - --format pax @-
- reads an archive from standard input (whose format will be deter-
- mined automatically) and converts it into a gzip-compressed pax-
- format archive on stdout. In this way, tar can be used to con-
- vert archives from one format to another.
-
- -b blocksize
- Specify the block size, in 512-byte records, for tape drive I/O.
- As a rule, this argument is only needed when reading from or
- writing to tape drives, and usually not even then as the default
- block size of 20 records (10240 bytes) is very common.
-
- -C directory
- In c and r mode, this changes the directory before adding the
- following files. In x mode, change directories after opening the
- archive but before extracting entries from the archive.
-
- --check-links
- (c and r modes only) Issue a warning message unless all links to
- each file are archived.
-
- --chroot
- (x mode only) chroot() to the current directory after processing
- any -C options and before extracting any files.
-
- --exclude pattern
- Do not process files or directories that match the specified pat-
- tern. Note that exclusions take precedence over patterns or
- filenames specified on the command line.
-
- --format format
- (c, r, u mode only) Use the specified format for the created ar-
- chive. Supported formats include ``cpio'', ``pax'', ``shar'',
- and ``ustar''. Other formats may also be supported; see
- libarchive-formats(5) for more information about currently-sup-
- ported formats. In r and u modes, when extending an existing ar-
- chive, the format specified here must be compatible with the for-
- mat of the existing archive on disk.
-
- -f file
- Read the archive from or write the archive to the specified file.
- The filename can be - for standard input or standard output. If
- not specified, the default tape device will be used. (On
- FreeBSD, the default tape device is /dev/sa0.)
-
- -H (c and r mode only) Symbolic links named on the command line will
- be followed; the target of the link will be archived, not the
- link itself.
-
- -h (c and r mode only) Synonym for -L.
-
- -I Synonym for -T.
-
- --include pattern
- Process only files or directories that match the specified pat-
- tern. Note that exclusions specified with --exclude take prece-
- dence over inclusions. If no inclusions are explicitly speci-
- fied, all entries are processed by default. The --include option
- is especially useful when filtering archives. For example, the
- command
- tar -c -f new.tar --include='*foo*' @old.tgz
- creates a new archive new.tar containing only the entries from
- old.tgz containing the string `foo'.
-
- -j (c mode only) Compress the resulting archive with bzip2(1). In
- extract or list modes, this option is ignored. Note that, unlike
- other tar implementations, this implementation recognizes bzip2
- compression automatically when reading archives.
-
- -k (x mode only) Do not overwrite existing files. In particular, if
- a file appears more than once in an archive, later copies will
- not overwrite earlier copies.
-
- --keep-newer-files
- (x mode only) Do not overwrite existing files that are newer than
- the versions appearing in the archive being extracted.
-
- -L (c and r mode only) All symbolic links will be followed. Nor-
- mally, symbolic links are archived as such. With this option,
- the target of the link will be archived instead.
-
- -l This is a synonym for the --check-links option.
-
- -m (x mode only) Do not extract modification time. By default, the
- modification time is set to the time stored in the archive.
-
- -n (c, r, u modes only) Do not recursively archive the contents of
- directories.
-
- --newer date
- (c, r, u modes only) Only include files and directories newer
- than the specified date. This compares ctime entries.
-
- --newer-mtime date
- (c, r, u modes only) Like --newer, except it compares mtime
- entries instead of ctime entries.
-
- --newer-than file
- (c, r, u modes only) Only include files and directories newer
- than the specified file. This compares ctime entries.
-
- --newer-mtime-than file
- (c, r, u modes only) Like --newer-than, except it compares mtime
- entries instead of ctime entries.
-
- --nodump
- (c and r modes only) Honor the nodump file flag by skipping this
- file.
-
- --null (use with -I, -T, or -X) Filenames or patterns are separated by
- null characters, not by newlines. This is often used to read
- filenames output by the -print0 option to find(1).
-
- --numeric-owner
- (x mode only) Ignore symbolic user and group names when restoring
- archives to disk, only numeric uid and gid values will be obeyed.
-
- -O (x, t modes only) In extract (-x) mode, files will be written to
- standard out rather than being extracted to disk. In list (-t)
- mode, the file listing will be written to stderr rather than the
- usual stdout.
-
- -o (x mode) Use the user and group of the user running the program
- rather than those specified in the archive. Note that this has
- no significance unless -p is specified, and the program is being
- run by the root user. In this case, the file modes and flags
- from the archive will be restored, but ACLs or owner information
- in the archive will be discarded.
-
- -o (c, r, u mode) A synonym for --format ustar
-
- --one-file-system
- (c, r, and u modes) Do not cross mount points.
-
- --options options
- Select optional behaviors for particular modules. The argument
- is a text string containing comma-separated keywords and values.
- These are passed to the modules that handle particular formats to
- control how those formats will behave. Each option has one of
- the following forms:
- key=value
- The key will be set to the specified value in every mod-
- ule that supports it. Modules that do not support this
- key will ignore it.
- key The key will be enabled in every module that supports it.
- This is equivalent to key=1.
- !key The key will be disabled in every module that supports
- it.
- module:key=value, module:key, module:!key
- As above, but the corresponding key and value will be
- provided only to modules whose name matches module.
- The currently supported modules and keys are:
- iso9660:joliet
- Support Joliet extensions. This is enabled by default,
- use !joliet or iso9660:!joliet to disable.
- gzip:compression-level
- A decimal integer from 0 to 9 specifying the gzip com-
- pression level.
- xz:compression-level
- A decimal integer from 0 to 9 specifying the xz compres-
- sion level.
- mtree:keyword
- The mtree writer module allows you to specify which mtree
- keywords will be included in the output. Supported key-
- words include: cksum, device, flags, gid, gname, indent,
- link, md5, mode, nlink, rmd160, sha1, sha256, sha384,
- sha512, size, time, uid, uname. The default is equiva-
- lent to: ``device, flags, gid, gname, link, mode, nlink,
- size, time, type, uid, uname''.
- mtree:all
- Enables all of the above keywords. You can also use
- mtree:!all to disable all keywords.
- mtree:use-set
- Enable generation of /set lines in the output.
- mtree:indent
- XXX need explanation XXX
- If a provided option is not supported by any module, that is a
- fatal error.
-
- -P Preserve pathnames. By default, absolute pathnames (those that
- begin with a / character) have the leading slash removed both
- when creating archives and extracting from them. Also, tar will
- refuse to extract archive entries whose pathnames contain .. or
- whose target directory would be altered by a symlink. This
- option suppresses these behaviors.
-
- -p (x mode only) Preserve file permissions. Attempt to restore the
- full permissions, including owner, file modes, file flags and
- ACLs, if available, for each item extracted from the archive. By
- default, newly-created files are owned by the user running tar,
- the file mode is restored for newly-created regular files, and
- all other types of entries receive default permissions. If tar
- is being run by root, the default is to restore the owner unless
- the -o option is also specified.
-
- -q (--fast-read)
- (x and t mode only) Extract or list only the first archive entry
- that matches each pattern or filename operand. Exit as soon as
- each specified pattern or filename has been matched. By default,
- the archive is always read to the very end, since there can be
- multiple entries with the same name and, by convention, later
- entries overwrite earlier entries. This option is provided as a
- performance optimization.
-
- -S (x mode only) Extract files as sparse files. For every block on
- disk, check first if it contains only NULL bytes and seek over it
- otherwise. This works similiar to the conv=sparse option of dd.
-
- --strip-components count
- (x mode only) Remove the specified number of leading path ele-
- ments. Pathnames with fewer elements will be silently skipped.
- Note that the pathname is edited after checking inclusion/exclu-
- sion patterns but before security checks.
-
- -s pattern
- Modify file or archive member names according to pattern. The
- pattern has the format /old/new/[gps]. old is a basic regular
- expression. If it doesn't apply, the pattern is skipped. new is
- the replacement string of the matched part. ~ is substituted
- with the match, 1 to 9 with the content of the corresponding cap-
- tured group. The optional trailing g specifies that matching
- should continue after the matched part and stopped on the first
- unmatched pattern. The optional trailing s specifies that the
- pattern applies to the value of symbolic links. The optional
- trailing p specifies that after a successful substitution the
- original path name and the new path name should be printed to
- standard error.
-
- -T filename
- In x or t mode, tar will read the list of names to be extracted
- from filename. In c mode, tar will read names to be archived
- from filename. The special name ``-C'' on a line by itself will
- cause the current directory to be changed to the directory speci-
- fied on the following line. Names are terminated by newlines
- unless --null is specified. Note that --null also disables the
- special handling of lines containing ``-C''.
-
- -U (x mode only) Unlink files before creating them. Without this
- option, tar overwrites existing files, which preserves existing
- hardlinks. With this option, existing hardlinks will be broken,
- as will any symlink that would affect the location of an
- extracted file.
-
- --use-compress-program program
- Pipe the input (in x or t mode) or the output (in c mode) through
- program instead of using the builtin compression support.
-
- -v Produce verbose output. In create and extract modes, tar will
- list each file name as it is read from or written to the archive.
- In list mode, tar will produce output similar to that of ls(1).
- Additional -v options will provide additional detail.
-
- --version
- Print version of tar and libarchive, and exit.
-
- -w Ask for confirmation for every action.
-
- -X filename
- Read a list of exclusion patterns from the specified file. See
- --exclude for more information about the handling of exclusions.
-
- -y (c mode only) Compress the resulting archive with bzip2(1). In
- extract or list modes, this option is ignored. Note that, unlike
- other tar implementations, this implementation recognizes bzip2
- compression automatically when reading archives.
-
- -z (c mode only) Compress the resulting archive with gzip(1). In
- extract or list modes, this option is ignored. Note that, unlike
- other tar implementations, this implementation recognizes gzip
- compression automatically when reading archives.
-
- -Z (c mode only) Compress the resulting archive with compress(1).
- In extract or list modes, this option is ignored. Note that,
- unlike other tar implementations, this implementation recognizes
- compress compression automatically when reading archives.
-
-ENVIRONMENT
- The following environment variables affect the execution of tar:
-
- LANG The locale to use. See environ(7) for more information.
-
- TAPE The default tape device. The -f option overrides this.
-
- TZ The timezone to use when displaying dates. See environ(7) for
- more information.
-
-FILES
- /dev/sa0 The default tape device, if not overridden by the TAPE envi-
- ronment variable or the -f option.
-
-EXIT STATUS
- The tar utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
-
-EXAMPLES
- The following creates a new archive called file.tar.gz that contains two
- files source.c and source.h:
- tar -czf file.tar.gz source.c source.h
-
- To view a detailed table of contents for this archive:
- tar -tvf file.tar.gz
-
- To extract all entries from the archive on the default tape drive:
- tar -x
-
- To examine the contents of an ISO 9660 cdrom image:
- tar -tf image.iso
-
- To move file hierarchies, invoke tar as
- tar -cf - -C srcdir . | tar -xpf - -C destdir
- or more traditionally
- cd srcdir ; tar -cf - . | (cd destdir ; tar -xpf -)
-
- In create mode, the list of files and directories to be archived can also
- include directory change instructions of the form -Cfoo/baz and archive
- inclusions of the form @archive-file. For example, the command line
- tar -c -f new.tar foo1 @old.tgz -C/tmp foo2
- will create a new archive new.tar. tar will read the file foo1 from the
- current directory and add it to the output archive. It will then read
- each entry from old.tgz and add those entries to the output archive.
- Finally, it will switch to the /tmp directory and add foo2 to the output
- archive.
-
- An input file in mtree(5) format can be used to create an output archive
- with arbitrary ownership, permissions, or names that differ from existing
- data on disk:
-
- $ cat input.mtree
- #mtree
- usr/bin uid=0 gid=0 mode=0755 type=dir
- usr/bin/ls uid=0 gid=0 mode=0755 type=file content=myls
- $ tar -cvf output.tar @input.mtree
-
- The --newer and --newer-mtime switches accept a variety of common date
- and time specifications, including ``12 Mar 2005 7:14:29pm'',
- ``2005-03-12 19:14'', ``5 minutes ago'', and ``19:14 PST May 1''.
-
- The --options argument can be used to control various details of archive
- generation or reading. For example, you can generate mtree output which
- only contains type, time, and uid keywords:
- tar -cf file.tar --format=mtree --options='!all,type,time,uid' dir
- or you can set the compression level used by gzip or xz compression:
- tar -czf file.tar --options='compression-level=9'.
- For more details, see the explanation of the archive_read_set_options()
- and archive_write_set_options() API calls that are described in
- archive_read(3) and archive_write(3).
-
-COMPATIBILITY
- The bundled-arguments format is supported for compatibility with historic
- implementations. It consists of an initial word (with no leading - char-
- acter) in which each character indicates an option. Arguments follow as
- separate words. The order of the arguments must match the order of the
- corresponding characters in the bundled command word. For example,
- tar tbf 32 file.tar
- specifies three flags t, b, and f. The b and f flags both require argu-
- ments, so there must be two additional items on the command line. The 32
- is the argument to the b flag, and file.tar is the argument to the f
- flag.
-
- The mode options c, r, t, u, and x and the options b, f, l, m, o, v, and
- w comply with SUSv2.
-
- For maximum portability, scripts that invoke tar should use the bundled-
- argument format above, should limit themselves to the c, t, and x modes,
- and the b, f, m, v, and w options.
-
- Additional long options are provided to improve compatibility with other
- tar implementations.
-
-SECURITY
- Certain security issues are common to many archiving programs, including
- tar. In particular, carefully-crafted archives can request that tar
- extract files to locations outside of the target directory. This can
- potentially be used to cause unwitting users to overwrite files they did
- not intend to overwrite. If the archive is being extracted by the supe-
- ruser, any file on the system can potentially be overwritten. There are
- three ways this can happen. Although tar has mechanisms to protect
- against each one, savvy users should be aware of the implications:
-
- o Archive entries can have absolute pathnames. By default, tar
- removes the leading / character from filenames before restoring
- them to guard against this problem.
-
- o Archive entries can have pathnames that include .. components.
- By default, tar will not extract files containing .. components
- in their pathname.
-
- o Archive entries can exploit symbolic links to restore files to
- other directories. An archive can restore a symbolic link to
- another directory, then use that link to restore a file into that
- directory. To guard against this, tar checks each extracted path
- for symlinks. If the final path element is a symlink, it will be
- removed and replaced with the archive entry. If -U is specified,
- any intermediate symlink will also be unconditionally removed.
- If neither -U nor -P is specified, tar will refuse to extract the
- entry.
- To protect yourself, you should be wary of any archives that come from
- untrusted sources. You should examine the contents of an archive with
- tar -tf filename
- before extraction. You should use the -k option to ensure that tar will
- not overwrite any existing files or the -U option to remove any pre-
- existing files. You should generally not extract archives while running
- with super-user privileges. Note that the -P option to tar disables the
- security checks above and allows you to extract an archive while preserv-
- ing any absolute pathnames, .. components, or symlinks to other directo-
- ries.

-
-STANDARDS
- There is no current POSIX standard for the tar command; it appeared in
- ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (``POSIX.1'') but was dropped from IEEE Std
- 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). The options used by this implementation were
- developed by surveying a number of existing tar implementations as well
- as the old POSIX specification for tar and the current POSIX specifica-
- tion for pax.
-
- The ustar and pax interchange file formats are defined by IEEE Std
- 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') for the pax command.
-
-HISTORY
- A tar command appeared in Seventh Edition Unix, which was released in
- January, 1979. There have been numerous other implementations, many of
- which extended the file format. John Gilmore's pdtar public-domain
- implementation (circa November, 1987) was quite influential, and formed
- the basis of GNU tar. GNU tar was included as the standard system tar in
- FreeBSD beginning with FreeBSD 1.0.
-
- This is a complete re-implementation based on the libarchive(3) library.
-
-BUGS
- This program follows ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (``POSIX.1'') for the definition
- of the -l option. Note that GNU tar prior to version 1.15 treated -l as
- a synonym for the --one-file-system option.
-
- The -C dir option may differ from historic implementations.
-
- All archive output is written in correctly-sized blocks, even if the out-
- put is being compressed. Whether or not the last output block is padded
- to a full block size varies depending on the format and the output
- device. For tar and cpio formats, the last block of output is padded to
- a full block size if the output is being written to standard output or to
- a character or block device such as a tape drive. If the output is being
- written to a regular file, the last block will not be padded. Many com-
- pressors, including gzip(1) and bzip2(1), complain about the null padding
- when decompressing an archive created by tar, although they still extract
- it correctly.
-
- The compression and decompression is implemented internally, so there may
- be insignificant differences between the compressed output generated by
- tar -czf - file
- and that generated by
- tar -cf - file | gzip
-
- The default should be to read and write archives to the standard I/O
- paths, but tradition (and POSIX) dictates otherwise.
-
- The r and u modes require that the archive be uncompressed and located in
- a regular file on disk. Other archives can be modified using c mode with
- the @archive-file extension.
-
- To archive a file called @foo or -foo you must specify it as ./@foo or
- ./-foo, respectively.
-
- In create mode, a leading ./ is always removed. A leading / is stripped
- unless the -P option is specified.
-
- There needs to be better support for file selection on both create and
- extract.
-
- There is not yet any support for multi-volume archives or for archiving
- sparse files.
-
- Converting between dissimilar archive formats (such as tar and cpio)
- using the @- convention can cause hard link information to be lost.
- (This is a consequence of the incompatible ways that different archive
- formats store hardlink information.)
-
- There are alternative long options for many of the short options that are
- deliberately not documented.

-
-NAME
- cpio -- format of cpio archive files
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The cpio archive format collects any number of files, directories, and
- other file system objects (symbolic links, device nodes, etc.) into a
- single stream of bytes.
-
- General Format
- Each file system object in a cpio archive comprises a header record with
- basic numeric metadata followed by the full pathname of the entry and the
- file data. The header record stores a series of integer values that gen-
- erally follow the fields in struct stat. (See stat(2) for details.) The
- variants differ primarily in how they store those integers (binary,
- octal, or hexadecimal). The header is followed by the pathname of the
- entry (the length of the pathname is stored in the header) and any file
- data. The end of the archive is indicated by a special record with the
- pathname ``TRAILER!!!''.
-
- PWB format
- XXX Any documentation of the original PWB/UNIX 1.0 format? XXX
-
- Old Binary Format
- The old binary cpio format stores numbers as 2-byte and 4-byte binary
- values. Each entry begins with a header in the following format:
-
- struct header_old_cpio {
- unsigned short c_magic;
- unsigned short c_dev;
- unsigned short c_ino;
- unsigned short c_mode;
- unsigned short c_uid;
- unsigned short c_gid;
- unsigned short c_nlink;
- unsigned short c_rdev;
- unsigned short c_mtime[2];
- unsigned short c_namesize;
- unsigned short c_filesize[2];
- };
-
- The unsigned short fields here are 16-bit integer values; the unsigned
- int fields are 32-bit integer values. The fields are as follows
-
- magic The integer value octal 070707. This value can be used to deter-
- mine whether this archive is written with little-endian or big-
- endian integers.
-
- dev, ino
- The device and inode numbers from the disk. These are used by
- programs that read cpio archives to determine when two entries
- refer to the same file. Programs that synthesize cpio archives
- should be careful to set these to distinct values for each entry.
-
- mode The mode specifies both the regular permissions and the file
- type. It consists of several bit fields as follows:
- 0170000 This masks the file type bits.
- 0140000 File type value for sockets.
- 0120000 File type value for symbolic links. For symbolic links,
- the link body is stored as file data.
- 0100000 File type value for regular files.
- 0060000 File type value for block special devices.
- 0040000 File type value for directories.
- 0020000 File type value for character special devices.
- 0010000 File type value for named pipes or FIFOs.
- 0004000 SUID bit.
- 0002000 SGID bit.
- 0001000 Sticky bit. On some systems, this modifies the behavior
- of executables and/or directories.
- 0000777 The lower 9 bits specify read/write/execute permissions
- for world, group, and user following standard POSIX con-
- ventions.
-
- uid, gid
- The numeric user id and group id of the owner.
-
- nlink The number of links to this file. Directories always have a
- value of at least two here. Note that hardlinked files include
- file data with every copy in the archive.
-
- rdev For block special and character special entries, this field con-
- tains the associated device number. For all other entry types,
- it should be set to zero by writers and ignored by readers.
-
- mtime Modification time of the file, indicated as the number of seconds
- since the start of the epoch, 00:00:00 UTC January 1, 1970. The
- four-byte integer is stored with the most-significant 16 bits
- first followed by the least-significant 16 bits. Each of the two
- 16 bit values are stored in machine-native byte order.
-
- namesize
- The number of bytes in the pathname that follows the header.
- This count includes the trailing NUL byte.
-
- filesize
- The size of the file. Note that this archive format is limited
- to four gigabyte file sizes. See mtime above for a description
- of the storage of four-byte integers.
-
- The pathname immediately follows the fixed header. If the namesize is
- odd, an additional NUL byte is added after the pathname. The file data
- is then appended, padded with NUL bytes to an even length.
-
- Hardlinked files are not given special treatment; the full file contents
- are included with each copy of the file.
-
- Portable ASCII Format
- Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv2'') standardized an
- ASCII variant that is portable across all platforms. It is commonly
- known as the ``old character'' format or as the ``odc'' format. It
- stores the same numeric fields as the old binary format, but represents
- them as 6-character or 11-character octal values.
-
- struct cpio_odc_header {
- char c_magic[6];
- char c_dev[6];
- char c_ino[6];
- char c_mode[6];
- char c_uid[6];
- char c_gid[6];
- char c_nlink[6];
- char c_rdev[6];
- char c_mtime[11];
- char c_namesize[6];
- char c_filesize[11];
- };
-
- The fields are identical to those in the old binary format. The name and
- file body follow the fixed header. Unlike the old binary format, there
- is no additional padding after the pathname or file contents. If the
- files being archived are themselves entirely ASCII, then the resulting
- archive will be entirely ASCII, except for the NUL byte that terminates
- the name field.
-
- New ASCII Format
- The "new" ASCII format uses 8-byte hexadecimal fields for all numbers and
- separates device numbers into separate fields for major and minor num-
- bers.
-
- struct cpio_newc_header {
- char c_magic[6];
- char c_ino[8];
- char c_mode[8];
- char c_uid[8];
- char c_gid[8];
- char c_nlink[8];
- char c_mtime[8];
- char c_filesize[8];
- char c_devmajor[8];
- char c_devminor[8];
- char c_rdevmajor[8];
- char c_rdevminor[8];
- char c_namesize[8];
- char c_check[8];
- };
-
- Except as specified below, the fields here match those specified for the
- old binary format above.
-
- magic The string ``070701''.
-
- check This field is always set to zero by writers and ignored by read-
- ers. See the next section for more details.
-
- The pathname is followed by NUL bytes so that the total size of the fixed
- header plus pathname is a multiple of four. Likewise, the file data is
- padded to a multiple of four bytes. Note that this format supports only
- 4 gigabyte files (unlike the older ASCII format, which supports 8 giga-
- byte files).
-
- In this format, hardlinked files are handled by setting the filesize to
- zero for each entry except the last one that appears in the archive.
-
- New CRC Format
- The CRC format is identical to the new ASCII format described in the pre-
- vious section except that the magic field is set to ``070702'' and the
- check field is set to the sum of all bytes in the file data. This sum is
- computed treating all bytes as unsigned values and using unsigned arith-
- metic. Only the least-significant 32 bits of the sum are stored.
-
- HP variants
- The cpio implementation distributed with HPUX used XXXX but stored device
- numbers differently XXX.
-
- Other Extensions and Variants
- Sun Solaris uses additional file types to store extended file data,
- including ACLs and extended attributes, as special entries in cpio ar-
- chives.
-
- XXX Others? XXX
-
-BUGS
- The ``CRC'' format is mis-named, as it uses a simple checksum and not a
- cyclic redundancy check.
-
- The old binary format is limited to 16 bits for user id, group id,
- device, and inode numbers. It is limited to 4 gigabyte file sizes.
-
- The old ASCII format is limited to 18 bits for the user id, group id,
- device, and inode numbers. It is limited to 8 gigabyte file sizes.
-
- The new ASCII format is limited to 4 gigabyte file sizes.
-
- None of the cpio formats store user or group names, which are essential
- when moving files between systems with dissimilar user or group number-
- ing.
-
- Especially when writing older cpio variants, it may be necessary to map
- actual device/inode values to synthesized values that fit the available
- fields. With very large filesystems, this may be necessary even for the
- newer formats.
-
-SEE ALSO
- cpio(1), tar(5)
-
-STANDARDS
- The cpio utility is no longer a part of POSIX or the Single Unix Stan-
- dard. It last appeared in Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification
- (``SUSv2''). It has been supplanted in subsequent standards by pax(1).
- The portable ASCII format is currently part of the specification for the
- pax(1) utility.
-
-HISTORY
- The original cpio utility was written by Dick Haight while working in
- AT&T's Unix Support Group. It appeared in 1977 as part of PWB/UNIX 1.0,
- the ``Programmer's Work Bench'' derived from Version 6 AT&T UNIX that was
- used internally at AT&T. Both the old binary and old character formats
- were in use by 1980, according to the System III source released by SCO
- under their ``Ancient Unix'' license. The character format was adopted
- as part of IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1''). XXX when did "newc"
- appear? Who invented it? When did HP come out with their variant? When
- did Sun introduce ACLs and extended attributes? XXX

-
-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 limita-
- tions 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.
-
- 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.
-
- gnutar 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.
-
- pax 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. The pres-
- ence of this additional entry 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 Uni-
- code strings. Keywords defined in the standard are in all lower-
- case; vendors are allowed to define custom keys by preceding them
- with the vendor name in all uppercase. When writing pax ar-
- chives, libarchive uses many of the SCHILY keys defined by Joerg
- Schilling's ``star'' archiver. The libarchive library can read
- most of the SCHILY keys. It silently ignores any keywords that
- it does not understand.
-
- restricted pax
- The libarchive library can also write pax archives in which it
- attempts to suppress the extended attributes entry whenever pos-
- sible. 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-com-
- pliant pax interchange format archives. Programs that correctly
- read ustar format (see below) will also be able to read this for-
- mat; any extended attributes will be extracted as separate files
- stored in PaxHeader directories.
-
- ustar The libarchive library can both read and write this format. This
- format has the following limitations:
- o Device major and minor numbers are limited to 21 bits. Nodes
- with larger numbers will not be added to the archive.
- o Path names in the archive are limited to 255 bytes. (Shorter
- if there is no / character in exactly the right place.)
- o Symbolic links and hard links are stored in the archive with
- the name of the referenced file. This name is limited to 100
- bytes.
- o Extended attributes, file flags, and other extended security
- information cannot be stored.
- o Archive entries are limited to 2 gigabytes in size.
- Note that the pax interchange format has none of these restric-
- tions.
-
- The libarchive library can also read a variety of commonly-used exten-
- sions to the basic tar format. In particular, it supports base-256 val-
- ues in certain numeric fields. This essentially removes the limitations
- on file size, modification time, and device numbers.
-
- 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 tar, cpio does only minimal padding of the
- header or file data. There are a variety of cpio formats, 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.
-
- binary The libarchive library can read 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.
-
- odc The libarchive library can both read and write this POSIX-stan-
- dard 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.
-
- SVR4 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.
-
- 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 limita-
- tions 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 dissim-
- ilar user numbering.
-
- Shar Formats
- A ``shell archive'' is a shell script that, when executed on a POSIX-com-
- pliant system, will recreate a collection of file system objects. The
- libarchive library can write two different kinds of shar archives:
-
- shar 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. How-
- ever, 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.
-
- shardump
- This format is similar to shar but encodes files using
- uuencode(1) so that the result will be a plain text file regard-
- less 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 com-
- mands used to restore file attributes make shardump archives less
- portable than plain shar archives.
-
- ISO9660 format
- Libarchive can read and extract from files containing ISO9660-compliant
- CDROM images. It also has partial support for Rockridge extensions. In
- many cases, this can remove the need to burn a physical CDROM. It also
- avoids security and complexity issues that come with virtual mounts and
- loopback devices.
-
- Zip format
- Libarchive can extract from most zip format archives. It currently only
- supports uncompressed entries and entries compressed with the ``deflate''
- algorithm. Older zip compression algorithms are not supported.
-
- 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 stan-
- dardised. There are two common variants: the GNU format derived from
- SVR4, and the BSD format, which first appeared in 4.4BSD. Libarchive
- provides read and write support for both variants.
-
- mtree
- Libarchive can read files in mtree(5) format. This format is not a true
- archive format, but rather a description of a file hierarchy. When
- requested, libarchive obtains the contents of the files described by the
- mtree(5) format from files on disk instead.

-LIBARCHIVE(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual LIBARCHIVE(3)
-
-NAME
- libarchive -- functions for reading and writing streaming archives
-
-LIBRARY
- Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
-
-OVERVIEW
- The libarchive library provides a flexible interface for reading and
- writing streaming archive files such as tar and cpio. The library is
- inherently stream-oriented; readers serially iterate through the archive,
- writers serially add things to the archive. In particular, note that
- there is no built-in support for random access nor for in-place modifica-
- tion.
-
- When reading an archive, the library automatically detects the format and
- the compression. The library currently has read support for:
- o old-style tar archives,
- o most variants of the POSIX ``ustar'' format,
- o the POSIX ``pax interchange'' format,
- o GNU-format tar archives,
- o most common cpio archive formats,
- o ISO9660 CD images (with or without RockRidge extensions),
- o Zip archives.
- The library automatically detects archives compressed with gzip(1),
- bzip2(1), or compress(1) and decompresses them transparently.
-
- When writing an archive, you can specify the compression to be used and
- the format to use. The library can write
- o POSIX-standard ``ustar'' archives,
- o POSIX ``pax interchange format'' archives,
- o POSIX octet-oriented cpio archives,
- o two different variants of shar archives.
- Pax interchange format is an extension of the tar archive format that
- eliminates essentially all of the limitations of historic tar formats in
- a standard fashion that is supported by POSIX-compliant pax(1) implemen-
- tations on many systems as well as several newer implementations of
- tar(1). Note that the default write format will suppress the pax
- extended attributes for most entries; explicitly requesting pax format
- will enable those attributes for all entries.
-
- The read and write APIs are accessed through the archive_read_XXX() func-
- tions and the archive_write_XXX() functions, respectively, and either can
- be used independently of the other.
-
- The rest of this manual page provides an overview of the library opera-
- tion. More detailed information can be found in the individual manual
- pages for each API or utility function.
-
-READING AN ARCHIVE
- To read an archive, you must first obtain an initialized struct archive
- object from archive_read_new(). You can then modify this object for the
- desired operations with the various archive_read_set_XXX() and
- archive_read_support_XXX() functions. In particular, you will need to
- invoke appropriate archive_read_support_XXX() functions to enable the
- corresponding compression and format support. Note that these latter
- functions perform two distinct operations: they cause the corresponding
- support code to be linked into your program, and they enable the corre-
- sponding auto-detect code. Unless you have specific constraints, you
- will generally want to invoke archive_read_support_compression_all() and
- archive_read_support_format_all() to enable auto-detect for all formats
- and compression types currently supported by the library.
-
- Once you have prepared the struct archive object, you call
- archive_read_open() to actually open the archive and prepare it for read-
- ing. There are several variants of this function; the most basic expects
- you to provide pointers to several functions that can provide blocks of
- bytes from the archive. There are convenience forms that allow you to
- specify a filename, file descriptor, FILE * object, or a block of memory
- from which to read the archive data. Note that the core library makes no
- assumptions about the size of the blocks read; callback functions are
- free to read whatever block size is most appropriate for the medium.
-
- Each archive entry consists of a header followed by a certain amount of
- data. You can obtain the next header with archive_read_next_header(),
- which returns a pointer to an struct archive_entry structure with infor-
- mation about the current archive element. If the entry is a regular
- file, then the header will be followed by the file data. You can use
- archive_read_data() (which works much like the read(2) system call) to
- read this data from the archive. You may prefer to use the higher-level
- archive_read_data_skip(), which reads and discards the data for this
- entry, archive_read_data_to_buffer(), which reads the data into an in-
- memory buffer, archive_read_data_to_file(), which copies the data to the
- provided file descriptor, or archive_read_extract(), which recreates the
- specified entry on disk and copies data from the archive. In particular,
- note that archive_read_extract() uses the struct archive_entry structure
- that you provide it, which may differ from the entry just read from the
- archive. In particular, many applications will want to override the
- pathname, file permissions, or ownership.
-
- Once you have finished reading data from the archive, you should call
- archive_read_close() to close the archive, then call
- archive_read_finish() to release all resources, including all memory
- allocated by the library.
-
- The archive_read(3) manual page provides more detailed calling informa-
- tion for this API.
-
-WRITING AN ARCHIVE
- You use a similar process to write an archive. The archive_write_new()
- function creates an archive object useful for writing, the various
- archive_write_set_XXX() functions are used to set parameters for writing
- the archive, and archive_write_open() completes the setup and opens the
- archive for writing.
-
- Individual archive entries are written in a three-step process: You first
- initialize a struct archive_entry structure with information about the
- new entry. At a minimum, you should set the pathname of the entry and
- provide a struct stat with a valid st_mode field, which specifies the
- type of object and st_size field, which specifies the size of the data
- portion of the object. The archive_write_header() function actually
- writes the header data to the archive. You can then use
- archive_write_data() to write the actual data.
-
- After all entries have been written, use the archive_write_finish() func-
- tion to release all resources.
-
- The archive_write(3) manual page provides more detailed calling informa-
- tion for this API.
-
-DESCRIPTION
- Detailed descriptions of each function are provided by the corresponding
- manual pages.
-
- All of the functions utilize an opaque struct archive datatype that pro-
- vides access to the archive contents.
-
- The struct archive_entry structure contains a complete description of a
- single archive entry. It uses an opaque interface that is fully docu-
- mented in archive_entry(3).
-
- Users familiar with historic formats should be aware that the newer vari-
- ants have eliminated most restrictions on the length of textual fields.
- Clients should not assume that filenames, link names, user names, or
- group names are limited in length. In particular, pax interchange format
- can easily accommodate pathnames in arbitrary character sets that exceed
- PATH_MAX.
-
-RETURN VALUES
- Most functions return zero on success, non-zero on error. The return
- value indicates the general severity of the error, ranging from
- ARCHIVE_WARN, which indicates a minor problem that should probably be
- reported to the user, to ARCHIVE_FATAL, which indicates a serious problem
- that will prevent any further operations on this archive. On error, the
- archive_errno() function can be used to retrieve a numeric error code
- (see errno(2)). The archive_error_string() returns a textual error mes-
- sage suitable for display.
-
- archive_read_new() and archive_write_new() return pointers to an allo-
- cated and initialized struct archive object.
-
- archive_read_data() and archive_write_data() return a count of the number
- of bytes actually read or written. A value of zero indicates the end of
- the data for this entry. A negative value indicates an error, in which
- case the archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions can be used
- to obtain more information.
-
-ENVIRONMENT
- There are character set conversions within the archive_entry(3) functions
- that are impacted by the currently-selected locale.

-BUGS
- Some archive formats support information that is not supported by struct
- archive_entry. Such information cannot be fully archived or restored
- using this library. This includes, for example, comments, character
- sets, or the arbitrary key/value pairs that can appear in pax interchange
- format archives.
-
- Conversely, of course, not all of the information that can be stored in
- an struct archive_entry is supported by all formats. For example, cpio
- formats do not support nanosecond timestamps; old tar formats do not sup-
- port large device numbers.

-
-NAME
- libarchive_internals -- description of libarchive internal interfaces
-
-OVERVIEW
- The libarchive library provides a flexible interface for reading and
- writing streaming archive files such as tar and cpio. Internally, it
- follows a modular layered design that should make it easy to add new ar-
- chive and compression formats.
-
-GENERAL ARCHITECTURE
- Externally, libarchive exposes most operations through an opaque, object-
- style interface. The archive_entry(1) objects store information about a
- single filesystem object. The rest of the library provides facilities to
- write archive_entry(1) objects to archive files, read them from archive
- files, and write them to disk. (There are plans to add a facility to
- read archive_entry(1) objects from disk as well.)
-
- The read and write APIs each have four layers: a public API layer, a for-
- mat layer that understands the archive file format, a compression layer,
- and an I/O layer. The I/O layer is completely exposed to clients who can
- replace it entirely with their own functions.
-
- In order to provide as much consistency as possible for clients, some
- public functions are virtualized. Eventually, it should be possible for
- clients to open an archive or disk writer, and then use a single set of
- code to select and write entries, regardless of the target.
-
-READ ARCHITECTURE
- From the outside, clients use the archive_read(3) API to manipulate an
- archive object to read entries and bodies from an archive stream. Inter-
- nally, the archive object is cast to an archive_read object, which holds
- all read-specific data. The API has four layers: The lowest layer is the
- I/O layer. This layer can be overridden by clients, but most clients use
- the packaged I/O callbacks provided, for example, by
- archive_read_open_memory(3), and archive_read_open_fd(3). The compres-
- sion layer calls the I/O layer to read bytes and decompresses them for
- the format layer. The format layer unpacks a stream of uncompressed
- bytes and creates archive_entry objects from the incoming data. The API
- layer tracks overall state (for example, it prevents clients from reading
- data before reading a header) and invokes the format and compression
- layer operations through registered function pointers. In particular,
- the API layer drives the format-detection process: When opening the ar-
- chive, it reads an initial block of data and offers it to each registered
- compression handler. The one with the highest bid is initialized with
- the first block. Similarly, the format handlers are polled to see which
- handler is the best for each archive. (Prior to 2.4.0, the format bid-
- ders were invoked for each entry, but this design hindered error recov-
- ery.)
-
- I/O Layer and Client Callbacks
- The read API goes to some lengths to be nice to clients. As a result,
- there are few restrictions on the behavior of the client callbacks.
-
- The client read callback is expected to provide a block of data on each
- call. A zero-length return does indicate end of file, but otherwise
- blocks may be as small as one byte or as large as the entire file. In
- particular, blocks may be of different sizes.
-
- The client skip callback returns the number of bytes actually skipped,
- which may be much smaller than the skip requested. The only requirement
- is that the skip not be larger. In particular, clients are allowed to
- return zero for any skip that they don't want to handle. The skip call-
- back must never be invoked with a negative value.
-
- Keep in mind that not all clients are reading from disk: clients reading
- from networks may provide different-sized blocks on every request and
- cannot skip at all; advanced clients may use mmap(2) to read the entire
- file into memory at once and return the entire file to libarchive as a
- single block; other clients may begin asynchronous I/O operations for the
- next block on each request.
-
- Decompresssion Layer
- The decompression layer not only handles decompression, it also buffers
- data so that the format handlers see a much nicer I/O model. The decom-
- pression API is a two stage peek/consume model. A read_ahead request
- specifies a minimum read amount; the decompression layer must provide a
- pointer to at least that much data. If more data is immediately avail-
- able, it should return more: the format layer handles bulk data reads by
- asking for a minimum of one byte and then copying as much data as is
- available.
-
- A subsequent call to the consume() function advances the read pointer.
- Note that data returned from a read_ahead() call is guaranteed to remain
- in place until the next call to read_ahead(). Intervening calls to
- consume() should not cause the data to move.
-
- Skip requests must always be handled exactly. Decompression handlers
- that cannot seek forward should not register a skip handler; the API
- layer fills in a generic skip handler that reads and discards data.
-
- A decompression handler has a specific lifecycle:
- Registration/Configuration
- When the client invokes the public support function, the decom-
- pression handler invokes the internal
- __archive_read_register_compression() function to provide bid and
- initialization functions. This function returns NULL on error or
- else a pointer to a struct decompressor_t. This structure con-
- tains a void * config slot that can be used for storing any cus-
- tomization information.
- Bid The bid function is invoked with a pointer and size of a block of
- data. The decompressor can access its config data through the
- decompressor element of the archive_read object. The bid func-
- tion is otherwise stateless. In particular, it must not perform
- any I/O operations.
-
- The value returned by the bid function indicates its suitability
- for handling this data stream. A bid of zero will ensure that
- this decompressor is never invoked. Return zero if magic number
- checks fail. Otherwise, your initial implementation should
- return the number of bits actually checked. For example, if you
- verify two full bytes and three bits of another byte, bid 19.
- Note that the initial block may be very short; be careful to only
- inspect the data you are given. (The current decompressors
- require two bytes for correct bidding.)
- Initialize
- The winning bidder will have its init function called. This
- function should initialize the remaining slots of the struct
- decompressor_t object pointed to by the decompressor element of
- the archive_read object. In particular, it should allocate any
- working data it needs in the data slot of that structure. The
- init function is called with the block of data that was used for
- tasting. At this point, the decompressor is responsible for all
- I/O requests to the client callbacks. The decompressor is free
- to read more data as and when necessary.
- Satisfy I/O requests
- The format handler will invoke the read_ahead, consume, and skip
- functions as needed.
- Finish The finish method is called only once when the archive is closed.
- It should release anything stored in the data and config slots of
- the decompressor object. It should not invoke the client close
- callback.
-
- Format Layer
- The read formats have a similar lifecycle to the decompression handlers:
- Registration
- Allocate your private data and initialize your pointers.
- Bid Formats bid by invoking the read_ahead() decompression method but
- not calling the consume() method. This allows each bidder to
- look ahead in the input stream. Bidders should not look further
- ahead than necessary, as long look aheads put pressure on the
- decompression layer to buffer lots of data. Most formats only
- require a few hundred bytes of look ahead; look aheads of a few
- kilobytes are reasonable. (The ISO9660 reader sometimes looks
- ahead by 48k, which should be considered an upper limit.)
- Read header
- The header read is usually the most complex part of any format.
- There are a few strategies worth mentioning: For formats such as
- tar or cpio, reading and parsing the header is straightforward
- since headers alternate with data. For formats that store all
- header data at the beginning of the file, the first header read
- request may have to read all headers into memory and store that
- data, sorted by the location of the file data. Subsequent header
- read requests will skip forward to the beginning of the file data
- and return the corresponding header.
- Read Data
- The read data interface supports sparse files; this requires that
- each call return a block of data specifying the file offset and
- size. This may require you to carefully track the location so
- that you can return accurate file offsets for each read. Remem-
- ber that the decompressor will return as much data as it has.
- Generally, you will want to request one byte, examine the return
- value to see how much data is available, and possibly trim that
- to the amount you can use. You should invoke consume for each
- block just before you return it.
- Skip All Data
- The skip data call should skip over all file data and trailing
- padding. This is called automatically by the API layer just
- before each header read. It is also called in response to the
- client calling the public data_skip() function.
- Cleanup
- On cleanup, the format should release all of its allocated mem-
- ory.
-
- API Layer
- XXX to do XXX
-
-WRITE ARCHITECTURE
- The write API has a similar set of four layers: an API layer, a format
- layer, a compression layer, and an I/O layer. The registration here is
- much simpler because only one format and one compression can be regis-
- tered at a time.

-
-WRITE_DISK ARCHITECTURE
- The write_disk API is intended to look just like the write API to
- clients. Since it does not handle multiple formats or compression, it is
- not layered internally.
-
-GENERAL SERVICES
- The archive_read, archive_write, and archive_write_disk objects all con-
- tain an initial archive object which provides common support for a set of
- standard services. (Recall that ANSI/ISO C90 guarantees that you can
- cast freely between a pointer to a structure and a pointer to the first
- element of that structure.) The archive object has a magic value that
- indicates which API this object is associated with, slots for storing
- error information, and function pointers for virtualized API functions.
-
-MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
- Connecting existing archiving libraries into libarchive is generally
- quite difficult. In particular, many existing libraries strongly assume
- that you are reading from a file; they seek forwards and backwards as
- necessary to locate various pieces of information. In contrast,
- libarchive never seeks backwards in its input, which sometimes requires
- very different approaches.
-
- For example, libarchive's ISO9660 support operates very differently from
- most ISO9660 readers. The libarchive support utilizes a work-queue
- design that keeps a list of known entries sorted by their location in the
- input. Whenever libarchive's ISO9660 implementation is asked for the
- next header, checks this list to find the next item on the disk. Direc-
- tories are parsed when they are encountered and new items are added to
- the list. This design relies heavily on the ISO9660 image being opti-
- mized so that directories always occur earlier on the disk than the files
- they describe.
-
- Depending on the specific format, such approaches may not be possible.
- The ZIP format specification, for example, allows archivers to store key
- information only at the end of the file. In theory, it is possible to
- create ZIP archives that cannot be read without seeking. Fortunately,
- such archives are very rare, and libarchive can read most ZIP archives,
- though it cannot always extract as much information as a dedicated ZIP
- program.

-MTREE(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual MTREE(5)
-
-NAME
- mtree -- format of mtree dir hierarchy files
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The mtree format is a textual format that describes a collection of
- filesystem objects. Such files are typically used to create or verify
- directory hierarchies.
-
- General Format
- An mtree file consists of a series of lines, each providing information
- about a single filesystem object. Leading whitespace is always ignored.
-
- When encoding file or pathnames, any backslash character or character
- outside of the 95 printable ASCII characters must be encoded as a a back-
- slash followed by three octal digits. When reading mtree files, any
- appearance of a backslash followed by three octal digits should be con-
- verted into the corresponding character.
-
- Each line is interpreted independently as one of the following types:
-
- Signature The first line of any mtree file must begin with ``#mtree''.
- If a file contains any full path entries, the first line
- should begin with ``#mtree v2.0'', otherwise, the first line
- should begin with ``#mtree v1.0''.
-
- Blank Blank lines are ignored.
-
- Comment Lines beginning with # are ignored.
-
- Special Lines beginning with / are special commands that influence
- the interpretation of later lines.
-
- Relative If the first whitespace-delimited word has no / characters,
- it is the name of a file in the current directory. Any rela-
- tive entry that describes a directory changes the current
- directory.
-
- dot-dot As a special case, a relative entry with the filename ..
- changes the current directory to the parent directory.
- Options on dot-dot entries are always ignored.
-
- Full If the first whitespace-delimited word has a / character
- after the first character, it is the pathname of a file rela-
- tive to the starting directory. There can be multiple full
- entries describing the same file.
-
- Some tools that process mtree files may require that multiple lines
- describing the same file occur consecutively. It is not permitted for
- the same file to be mentioned using both a relative and a full file spec-
- ification.
-
- Special commands
- Two special commands are currently defined:
-
- /set This command defines default values for one or more keywords.
- It is followed on the same line by one or more whitespace-
- separated keyword definitions. These definitions apply to
- all following files that do not specify a value for that key-
- word.
-
- /unset This command removes any default value set by a previous /set
- command. It is followed on the same line by one or more key-
- words separated by whitespace.
-
- Keywords
- After the filename, a full or relative entry consists of zero or more
- whitespace-separated keyword definitions. Each such definition consists
- of a key from the following list immediately followed by an '=' sign and
- a value. Software programs reading mtree files should warn about unrec-
- ognized keywords.
-
- Currently supported keywords are as follows:
-
- cksum The checksum of the file using the default algorithm speci-
- fied by the cksum(1) utility.
-
- contents The full pathname of a file that holds the contents of this
- file.
-
- flags The file flags as a symbolic name. See chflags(1) for infor-
- mation on these names. If no flags are to be set the string
- ``none'' may be used to override the current default.
-
- gid The file group as a numeric value.
-
- gname The file group as a symbolic name.
-
- ignore Ignore any file hierarchy below this file.
-
- link The target of the symbolic link when type=link.
-
- md5 The MD5 message digest of the file.
-
- md5digest A synonym for md5.
-
- mode The current file's permissions as a numeric (octal) or sym-
- bolic value.
-
- nlink The number of hard links the file is expected to have.
-
- nochange Make sure this file or directory exists but otherwise ignore
- all attributes.
-
- ripemd160digest
- The RIPEMD160 message digest of the file.
-
- rmd160 A synonym for ripemd160digest.
-
- rmd160digest
- A synonym for ripemd160digest.
-
- sha1 The FIPS 160-1 (``SHA-1'') message digest of the file.
-
- sha1digest A synonym for sha1.
-
- sha256 The FIPS 180-2 (``SHA-256'') message digest of the file.
-
- sha256digest
- A synonym for sha256.
-
- size The size, in bytes, of the file.
-
- time The last modification time of the file.
-
- type The type of the file; may be set to any one of the following:
-
- block block special device
- char character special device
- dir directory
- fifo fifo
- file regular file
- link symbolic link
- socket socket
-
- uid The file owner as a numeric value.
-
- uname The file owner as a symbolic name.
-

-
-BUGS
- The FreeBSD implementation of mtree does not currently support the mtree
- 2.0 format. The requirement for a ``#mtree'' signature line is new and
- not yet widely implemented.
-
-HISTORY
- The mtree utility appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno. The MD5 digest capability was
- added in FreeBSD 2.1, in response to the widespread use of programs which
- can spoof cksum(1). The SHA-1 and RIPEMD160 digests were added in
- FreeBSD 4.0, as new attacks have demonstrated weaknesses in MD5. The
- SHA-256 digest was added in FreeBSD 6.0. Support for file flags was
- added in FreeBSD 4.0, and mostly comes from NetBSD. The ``full'' entry
- format was added by NetBSD.

-
-NAME
- tar -- format of tape archive files
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The tar archive format collects any number of files, directories, and
- other file system objects (symbolic links, device nodes, etc.) into a
- single stream of bytes. The format was originally designed to be used
- with tape drives that operate with fixed-size blocks, but is widely used
- as a general packaging mechanism.
-
- General Format
- A tar archive consists of a series of 512-byte records. Each file system
- object requires a header record which stores basic metadata (pathname,
- owner, permissions, etc.) and zero or more records containing any file
- data. The end of the archive is indicated by two records consisting
- entirely of zero bytes.
-
- For compatibility with tape drives that use fixed block sizes, programs
- that read or write tar files always read or write a fixed number of
- records with each I/O operation. These ``blocks'' are always a multiple
- of the record size. The most common block size--and the maximum sup-
- ported by historic implementations--is 10240 bytes or 20 records. (Note:
- the terms ``block'' and ``record'' here are not entirely standard; this
- document follows the convention established by John Gilmore in document-
- ing pdtar.)
-
- Old-Style Archive Format
- The original tar archive format has been extended many times to include
- additional information that various implementors found necessary. This
- section describes the variant implemented by the tar command included in
- Version 7 AT&T UNIX, which is one of the earliest widely-used versions of
- the tar program.
-
- The header record for an old-style tar archive consists of the following:
-
- struct header_old_tar {
- char name[100];
- char mode[8];
- char uid[8];
- char gid[8];
- char size[12];
- char mtime[12];
- char checksum[8];
- char linkflag[1];
- char linkname[100];
- char pad[255];
- };
- All unused bytes in the header record are filled with nulls.
-
- name Pathname, stored as a null-terminated string. Early tar imple-
- mentations only stored regular files (including hardlinks to
- those files). One common early convention used a trailing "/"
- character to indicate a directory name, allowing directory per-
- missions and owner information to be archived and restored.
-
- mode File mode, stored as an octal number in ASCII.
-
- uid, gid
- User id and group id of owner, as octal numbers in ASCII.
-
- size Size of file, as octal number in ASCII. For regular files only,
- this indicates the amount of data that follows the header. In
- particular, this field was ignored by early tar implementations
- when extracting hardlinks. Modern writers should always store a
- zero length for hardlink entries.
-
- mtime Modification time of file, as an octal number in ASCII. This
- indicates the number of seconds since the start of the epoch,
- 00:00:00 UTC January 1, 1970. Note that negative values should
- be avoided here, as they are handled inconsistently.
-
- checksum
- Header checksum, stored as an octal number in ASCII. To compute
- the checksum, set the checksum field to all spaces, then sum all
- bytes in the header using unsigned arithmetic. This field should
- be stored as six octal digits followed by a null and a space
- character. Note that many early implementations of tar used
- signed arithmetic for the checksum field, which can cause inter-
- operability problems when transferring archives between systems.
- Modern robust readers compute the checksum both ways and accept
- the header if either computation matches.
-
- linkflag, linkname
- In order to preserve hardlinks and conserve tape, a file with
- multiple links is only written to the archive the first time it
- is encountered. The next time it is encountered, the linkflag is
- set to an ASCII `1' and the linkname field holds the first name
- under which this file appears. (Note that regular files have a
- null value in the linkflag field.)
-
- Early tar implementations varied in how they terminated these fields.
- The tar command in Version 7 AT&T UNIX used the following conventions
- (this is also documented in early BSD manpages): the pathname must be
- null-terminated; the mode, uid, and gid fields must end in a space and a
- null byte; the size and mtime fields must end in a space; the checksum is
- terminated by a null and a space. Early implementations filled the
- numeric fields with leading spaces. This seems to have been common prac-
- tice until the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') standard was released.
- For best portability, modern implementations should fill the numeric
- fields with leading zeros.
-
- Pre-POSIX Archives
- An early draft of IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') served as the basis
- for John Gilmore's pdtar program and many system implementations from the
- late 1980s and early 1990s. These archives generally follow the POSIX
- ustar format described below with the following variations:
- o The magic value is ``ustar '' (note the following space). The
- version field contains a space character followed by a null.
- o The numeric fields are generally filled with leading spaces (not
- leading zeros as recommended in the final standard).
- o The prefix field is often not used, limiting pathnames to the 100
- characters of old-style archives.
-
- POSIX ustar Archives
- IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') defined a standard tar file format to
- be read and written by compliant implementations of tar(1). This format
- is often called the ``ustar'' format, after the magic value used in the
- header. (The name is an acronym for ``Unix Standard TAR''.) It extends
- the historic format with new fields:
-
- struct header_posix_ustar {
- char name[100];
- char mode[8];
- char uid[8];
- char gid[8];
- char size[12];
- char mtime[12];
- char checksum[8];
- char typeflag[1];
- char linkname[100];
- char magic[6];
- char version[2];
- char uname[32];
- char gname[32];
- char devmajor[8];
- char devminor[8];
- char prefix[155];
- char pad[12];
- };
-
- typeflag
- Type of entry. POSIX extended the earlier linkflag field with
- several new type values:
- ``0'' Regular file. NUL should be treated as a synonym, for
- compatibility purposes.
- ``1'' Hard link.
- ``2'' Symbolic link.
- ``3'' Character device node.
- ``4'' Block device node.
- ``5'' Directory.
- ``6'' FIFO node.
- ``7'' Reserved.
- Other A POSIX-compliant implementation must treat any unrecog-
- nized typeflag value as a regular file. In particular,
- writers should ensure that all entries have a valid file-
- name so that they can be restored by readers that do not
- support the corresponding extension. Uppercase letters
- "A" through "Z" are reserved for custom extensions. Note
- that sockets and whiteout entries are not archivable.
- It is worth noting that the size field, in particular, has dif-
- ferent meanings depending on the type. For regular files, of
- course, it indicates the amount of data following the header.
- For directories, it may be used to indicate the total size of all
- files in the directory, for use by operating systems that pre-
- allocate directory space. For all other types, it should be set
- to zero by writers and ignored by readers.
-
- magic Contains the magic value ``ustar'' followed by a NUL byte to
- indicate that this is a POSIX standard archive. Full compliance
- requires the uname and gname fields be properly set.
-
- version
- Version. This should be ``00'' (two copies of the ASCII digit
- zero) for POSIX standard archives.
-
- uname, gname
- User and group names, as null-terminated ASCII strings. These
- should be used in preference to the uid/gid values when they are
- set and the corresponding names exist on the system.
-
- devmajor, devminor
- Major and minor numbers for character device or block device
- entry.
-
- prefix First part of pathname. If the pathname is too long to fit in
- the 100 bytes provided by the standard format, it can be split at
- any / character with the first portion going here. If the prefix
- field is not empty, the reader will prepend the prefix value and
- a / character to the regular name field to obtain the full path-
- name.
-
- Note that all unused bytes must be set to NUL.
-
- Field termination is specified slightly differently by POSIX than by pre-
- vious implementations. The magic, uname, and gname fields must have a
- trailing NUL. The pathname, linkname, and prefix fields must have a
- trailing NUL unless they fill the entire field. (In particular, it is
- possible to store a 256-character pathname if it happens to have a / as
- the 156th character.) POSIX requires numeric fields to be zero-padded in
- the front, and allows them to be terminated with either space or NUL
- characters.
-
- Currently, most tar implementations comply with the ustar format, occa-
- sionally extending it by adding new fields to the blank area at the end
- of the header record.
-
- Pax Interchange Format
- There are many attributes that cannot be portably stored in a POSIX ustar
- archive. IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') defined a ``pax interchange
- format'' that uses two new types of entries to hold text-formatted meta-
- data that applies to following entries. Note that a pax interchange for-
- mat archive is a ustar archive in every respect. The new data is stored
- in ustar-compatible archive entries that use the ``x'' or ``g'' typeflag.
- In particular, older implementations that do not fully support these
- extensions will extract the metadata into regular files, where the meta-
- data can be examined as necessary.
-
- An entry in a pax interchange format archive consists of one or two stan-
- dard ustar entries, each with its own header and data. The first
- optional entry stores the extended attributes for the following entry.
- This optional first entry has an "x" typeflag and a size field that indi-
- cates the total size of the extended attributes. The extended attributes
- themselves are stored as a series of text-format lines encoded in the
- portable UTF-8 encoding. Each line consists of a decimal number, a
- space, a key string, an equals sign, a value string, and a new line. The
- decimal number indicates the length of the entire line, including the
- initial length field and the trailing newline. An example of such a
- field is:
- 25 ctime=1084839148.1212\n
- Keys in all lowercase are standard keys. Vendors can add their own keys
- by prefixing them with an all uppercase vendor name and a period. Note
- that, unlike the historic header, numeric values are stored using deci-
- mal, not octal. A description of some common keys follows:
-
- atime, ctime, mtime
- File access, inode change, and modification times. These fields
- can be negative or include a decimal point and a fractional
- value.
-
- uname, uid, gname, gid
- User name, group name, and numeric UID and GID values. The user
- name and group name stored here are encoded in UTF8 and can thus
- include non-ASCII characters. The UID and GID fields can be of
- arbitrary length.
-
- linkpath
- The full path of the linked-to file. Note that this is encoded
- in UTF8 and can thus include non-ASCII characters.
-
- path The full pathname of the entry. Note that this is encoded in
- UTF8 and can thus include non-ASCII characters.
-
- realtime.*, security.*
- These keys are reserved and may be used for future standardiza-
- tion.
-
- size The size of the file. Note that there is no length limit on this
- field, allowing conforming archives to store files much larger
- than the historic 8GB limit.
-
- SCHILY.*
- Vendor-specific attributes used by Joerg Schilling's star imple-
- mentation.
-
- SCHILY.acl.access, SCHILY.acl.default
- Stores the access and default ACLs as textual strings in a format
- that is an extension of the format specified by POSIX.1e draft
- 17. In particular, each user or group access specification can
- include a fourth colon-separated field with the numeric UID or
- GID. This allows ACLs to be restored on systems that may not
- have complete user or group information available (such as when
- NIS/YP or LDAP services are temporarily unavailable).
-
- SCHILY.devminor, SCHILY.devmajor
- The full minor and major numbers for device nodes.
-
- SCHILY.dev, SCHILY.ino, SCHILY.nlinks
- The device number, inode number, and link count for the entry.
- In particular, note that a pax interchange format archive using
- Joerg Schilling's SCHILY.* extensions can store all of the data
- from struct stat.
-
- LIBARCHIVE.xattr.namespace.key
- Libarchive stores POSIX.1e-style extended attributes using keys
- of this form. The key value is URL-encoded: All non-ASCII char-
- acters and the two special characters ``='' and ``%'' are encoded
- as ``%'' followed by two uppercase hexadecimal digits. The value
- of this key is the extended attribute value encoded in base 64.
- XXX Detail the base-64 format here XXX
-
- VENDOR.*
- XXX document other vendor-specific extensions XXX
-
- Any values stored in an extended attribute override the corresponding
- values in the regular tar header. Note that compliant readers should
- ignore the regular fields when they are overridden. This is important,
- as existing archivers are known to store non-compliant values in the
- standard header fields in this situation. There are no limits on length
- for any of these fields. In particular, numeric fields can be arbitrar-
- ily large. All text fields are encoded in UTF8. Compliant writers
- should store only portable 7-bit ASCII characters in the standard ustar
- header and use extended attributes whenever a text value contains non-
- ASCII characters.
-
- In addition to the x entry described above, the pax interchange format
- also supports a g entry. The g entry is identical in format, but speci-
- fies attributes that serve as defaults for all subsequent archive
- entries. The g entry is not widely used.
-
- Besides the new x and g entries, the pax interchange format has a few
- other minor variations from the earlier ustar format. The most troubling
- one is that hardlinks are permitted to have data following them. This
- allows readers to restore any hardlink to a file without having to rewind
- the archive to find an earlier entry. However, it creates complications
- for robust readers, as it is no longer clear whether or not they should
- ignore the size field for hardlink entries.
-
- GNU Tar Archives
- The GNU tar program started with a pre-POSIX format similar to that
- described earlier and has extended it using several different mechanisms:
- It added new fields to the empty space in the header (some of which was
- later used by POSIX for conflicting purposes); it allowed the header to
- be continued over multiple records; and it defined new entries that mod-
- ify following entries (similar in principle to the x entry described
- above, but each GNU special entry is single-purpose, unlike the general-
- purpose x entry). As a result, GNU tar archives are not POSIX compati-
- ble, although more lenient POSIX-compliant readers can successfully
- extract most GNU tar archives.
-
- struct header_gnu_tar {
- char name[100];
- char mode[8];
- char uid[8];
- char gid[8];
- char size[12];
- char mtime[12];
- char checksum[8];
- char typeflag[1];
- char linkname[100];
- char magic[6];
- char version[2];
- char uname[32];
- char gname[32];
- char devmajor[8];
- char devminor[8];
- char atime[12];
- char ctime[12];
- char offset[12];
- char longnames[4];
- char unused[1];
- struct {
- char offset[12];
- char numbytes[12];
- } sparse[4];
- char isextended[1];
- char realsize[12];
- char pad[17];
- };
-
- typeflag
- GNU tar uses the following special entry types, in addition to
- those defined by POSIX:
-
- 7 GNU tar treats type "7" records identically to type "0"
- records, except on one obscure RTOS where they are used
- to indicate the pre-allocation of a contiguous file on
- disk.
-
- D This indicates a directory entry. Unlike the POSIX-stan-
- dard "5" typeflag, the header is followed by data records
- listing the names of files in this directory. Each name
- is preceded by an ASCII "Y" if the file is stored in this
- archive or "N" if the file is not stored in this archive.
- Each name is terminated with a null, and an extra null
- marks the end of the name list. The purpose of this
- entry is to support incremental backups; a program
- restoring from such an archive may wish to delete files
- on disk that did not exist in the directory when the ar-
- chive was made.
-
- Note that the "D" typeflag specifically violates POSIX,
- which requires that unrecognized typeflags be restored as
- normal files. In this case, restoring the "D" entry as a
- file could interfere with subsequent creation of the
- like-named directory.
-
- K The data for this entry is a long linkname for the fol-
- lowing regular entry.
-
- L The data for this entry is a long pathname for the fol-
- lowing regular entry.
-
- M This is a continuation of the last file on the previous
- volume. GNU multi-volume archives guarantee that each
- volume begins with a valid entry header. To ensure this,
- a file may be split, with part stored at the end of one
- volume, and part stored at the beginning of the next vol-
- ume. The "M" typeflag indicates that this entry contin-
- ues an existing file. Such entries can only occur as the
- first or second entry in an archive (the latter only if
- the first entry is a volume label). The size field spec-
- ifies the size of this entry. The offset field at bytes
- 369-380 specifies the offset where this file fragment
- begins. The realsize field specifies the total size of
- the file (which must equal size plus offset). When
- extracting, GNU tar checks that the header file name is
- the one it is expecting, that the header offset is in the
- correct sequence, and that the sum of offset and size is
- equal to realsize. FreeBSD's version of GNU tar does not
- handle the corner case of an archive's being continued in
- the middle of a long name or other extension header.
-
- N Type "N" records are no longer generated by GNU tar.
- They contained a list of files to be renamed or symlinked
- after extraction; this was originally used to support
- long names. The contents of this record are a text
- description of the operations to be done, in the form
- ``Rename %s to %s\n'' or ``Symlink %s to %s\n''; in
- either case, both filenames are escaped using K&R C syn-
- tax.
-
- S This is a ``sparse'' regular file. Sparse files are
- stored as a series of fragments. The header contains a
- list of fragment offset/length pairs. If more than four
- such entries are required, the header is extended as nec-
- essary with ``extra'' header extensions (an older format
- that is no longer used), or ``sparse'' extensions.
-
- V The name field should be interpreted as a tape/volume
- header name. This entry should generally be ignored on
- extraction.
-
- magic The magic field holds the five characters ``ustar'' followed by a
- space. Note that POSIX ustar archives have a trailing null.
-
- version
- The version field holds a space character followed by a null.
- Note that POSIX ustar archives use two copies of the ASCII digit
- ``0''.
-
- atime, ctime
- The time the file was last accessed and the time of last change
- of file information, stored in octal as with mtime.
-
- longnames
- This field is apparently no longer used.
-
- Sparse offset / numbytes
- Each such structure specifies a single fragment of a sparse file.
- The two fields store values as octal numbers. The fragments are
- each padded to a multiple of 512 bytes in the archive. On
- extraction, the list of fragments is collected from the header
- (including any extension headers), and the data is then read and
- written to the file at appropriate offsets.
-
- isextended
- If this is set to non-zero, the header will be followed by addi-
- tional ``sparse header'' records. Each such record contains
- information about as many as 21 additional sparse blocks as shown
- here:
-
- struct gnu_sparse_header {
- struct {
- char offset[12];
- char numbytes[12];
- } sparse[21];
- char isextended[1];
- char padding[7];
- };
-
- realsize
- A binary representation of the file's complete size, with a much
- larger range than the POSIX file size. In particular, with M
- type files, the current entry is only a portion of the file. In
- that case, the POSIX size field will indicate the size of this
- entry; the realsize field will indicate the total size of the
- file.
-
- Solaris Tar
- XXX More Details Needed XXX
-
- Solaris tar (beginning with SunOS XXX 5.7 ?? XXX) supports an
- ``extended'' format that is fundamentally similar to pax interchange for-
- mat, with the following differences:
- o Extended attributes are stored in an entry whose type is X, not
- x, as used by pax interchange format. The detailed format of
- this entry appears to be the same as detailed above for the x
- entry.
- o An additional A entry is used to store an ACL for the following
- regular entry. The body of this entry contains a seven-digit
- octal number (whose value is 01000000 plus the number of ACL
- entries) followed by a zero byte, followed by the textual ACL
- description.
-
- Other Extensions
- One common extension, utilized by GNU tar, star, and other newer tar
- implementations, permits binary numbers in the standard numeric fields.
- This is flagged by setting the high bit of the first character. This
- permits 95-bit values for the length and time fields and 63-bit values
- for the uid, gid, and device numbers. GNU tar supports this extension
- for the length, mtime, ctime, and atime fields. Joerg Schilling's star
- program supports this extension for all numeric fields. Note that this
- extension is largely obsoleted by the extended attribute record provided
- by the pax interchange format.
-
- Another early GNU extension allowed base-64 values rather than octal.
- This extension was short-lived and such archives are almost never seen.
- However, there is still code in GNU tar to support them; this code is
- responsible for a very cryptic warning message that is sometimes seen
- when GNU tar encounters a damaged archive.

-STANDARDS
- The tar utility is no longer a part of POSIX or the Single Unix Standard.
- It last appeared in Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification
- (``SUSv2''). It has been supplanted in subsequent standards by pax(1).
- The ustar format is currently part of the specification for the pax(1)
- utility. The pax interchange file format is new with IEEE Std
- 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
-
-HISTORY
- A tar command appeared in Seventh Edition Unix, which was released in
- January, 1979. It replaced the tp program from Fourth Edition Unix which
- in turn replaced the tap program from First Edition Unix. John Gilmore's
- pdtar public-domain implementation (circa 1987) was highly influential
- and formed the basis of GNU tar. Joerg Shilling's star archiver is
- another open-source (GPL) archiver (originally developed circa 1985)
- which features complete support for pax interchange format.
