If anyone can send me a nice interface for reading and writing a tar file
from C, I'll do it. I just don't have the inclination to learn about tar
internals at the moment. By 'nice' I mean that I would like:
I don't know the details of the API, but the NetBSD pax code handles
tar formats (and others) nicely and on a cursory glance seems to have
what you need. Of course, the license is acceptable. If you want the
source, let me know.
Cheers,
Brook
