Supported TAR formats #16

Closed AAverin closed 9 years ago

AAverin commented 9 years ago

I noticed several issues related to TAR format support. What is the current state? I tried GNU and USTAR, and for both files I get incorrect file names. For GNU I was getting only first 4 letters of the file name bundled in TAR For USTAR I get a file name without extention, like 'myname.', with a dot at the end. I though USTAR is supported?

To answer my questions. Out of GNU, OLDGNU, POSIX, USTAR, V7 only POSIX isn't supported by the library - first tar entry has some additional data that isn't properly processed.
