/* A tar archive consists of 512-byte blocks.
Each file in the archive has a header block followed by 0+ data blocks.
Two blocks of NUL bytes indicate the end of the archive. */
/* The fields of header blocks:
All strings are stored as ISO 646 (approximately ASCII) strings.
Fields are numeric unless otherwise noted below; numbers are ISO 646
representations of octal numbers, with leading zeros as needed.
linkname is only valid when typeflag==LNKTYPE. It doesn't use prefix;
files that are links to pathnames >100 chars long can not be stored
in a tar archive.
If typeflag=={LNKTYPE,SYMTYPE,DIRTYPE} then size must be 0.
devmajor and devminor are only valid for typeflag=={BLKTYPE,CHRTYPE}.
chksum contains the sum of all 512 bytes in the header block,
treating each byte as an 8-bit unsigned value and treating the
8 bytes of chksum as blank characters.
uname and gname are used in preference to uid and gid, if those
names exist locally.
Field Name Byte Offset Length in Bytes Field Type
name 0 100 NUL-terminated if NUL fits
mode 100 8
uid 108 8
gid 116 8
size 124 12
mtime 136 12
chksum 148 8
typeflag 156 1 see below
linkname 157 100 NUL-terminated if NUL fits
magic 257 6 must be TMAGIC (NUL term.)
version 263 2 must be TVERSION
uname 265 32 NUL-terminated
gname 297 32 NUL-terminated
devmajor 329 8
devminor 337 8
prefix 345 155 NUL-terminated if NUL fits
If the first character of prefix is '\0', the file name is name;
otherwise, it is prefix/name. Files whose pathnames don't fit in that
length can not be stored in a tar archive. */
