device node archival/extraction #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When archiving a device node in linux, the fact that it is a character or
block device node is recorded, but the major/minor number is not recorded.

Additionally, when extracting, a regular zero-length file is created, not a
device node.

This should be resolved in commit r131 in trunk.

This adds the following to the file's entry in the toc if the file is a device 
node:
<device>
    <major>#</major>
    <minor>#</minor>
</device>
