| 24 | /* A tar archive consists of 512-byte blocks. |
| 25 | Each file in the archive has a header block followed by 0+ data blocks. |
| 26 | Two blocks of NUL bytes indicate the end of the archive. */ |
| 27 | |
| 28 | /* The fields of header blocks: |
| 29 | All strings are stored as ISO 646 (approximately ASCII) strings. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Fields are numeric unless otherwise noted below; numbers are ISO 646 |
| 32 | representations of octal numbers, with leading zeros as needed. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | linkname is only valid when typeflag==LNKTYPE. It doesn't use prefix; |
| 35 | files that are links to pathnames >100 chars long can not be stored |
| 36 | in a tar archive. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | If typeflag=={LNKTYPE,SYMTYPE,DIRTYPE} then size must be 0. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | devmajor and devminor are only valid for typeflag=={BLKTYPE,CHRTYPE}. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | chksum contains the sum of all 512 bytes in the header block, |
| 43 | treating each byte as an 8-bit unsigned value and treating the |
| 44 | 8 bytes of chksum as blank characters. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | uname and gname are used in preference to uid and gid, if those |
| 47 | names exist locally. |

| 66 | |
| 67 | If the first character of prefix is '\0', the file name is name; |
| 68 | otherwise, it is prefix/name. Files whose pathnames don't fit in that |
| 69 | length can not be stored in a tar archive. */ |
