It's a more ambitious version of +'untar.c' that includes compile-time options to enable/disable various +features, including non-tar formats, archive creation, and automatic +decompression support. + +I use this as a test bed to check for "link pollution," ensuring that +a program using libarchive does not pull in unnecessary code. + +The "minitar" program is also a good starting point for anyone who +wants to use libarchive for their own purposes, as it demonstrates +basic usage of the library. -- cgit v1.2.3
