libarchive2
Programming Library To Create And Read Several Different Streaming Archive Formats

Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several
different streaming archive formats, including most popular tar
variants and several cpio formats. It can also write shar archives and
read ISO9660 CDROM images. The bsdtar program is an implementation of
tar(1) that is built on top of libarchive. It started as a test
harness, but has grown and is now the standard system tar for FreeBSD 5
and 6.
The libarchive library offers a number of features that make it both
very flexible and very powerful.
- Automatic format detection: libarchive can automatically determine
- Writes POSIX formats: libarchive writes POSIX-standard formats,
- Supports pax interchange format: Pax interchange format (which,
- Reads popular formats: libarchive can read GNU tar, ustar, pax
- High-Level API: the libarchive API makes it fairly simple to build
- Extensible. The internal design uses generic interfaces for
compression, archive format detection and decoding, and archive data
I/O. It should be very easy to add new formats, new compression
methods, or new ways of reading/writing archives.
