tar library

Streaming tar implementation for Dart.

To read tar files, see TarReader. To write tar files, use tarWritingSink or tarWriter.

Classes

MaybeTarFormat: Holds the possible TAR formats that a file could take.
SynchronousTarEntry: A tar entry stored in memory.
TarEntry: An entry in a tar file.
TarHeader: Header of a tar entry
TarReader: TarReader provides sequential access to the TAR files in a TAR archive. It is designed to read from a stream and to spit out substreams for individual file contents in order to minimize the amount of memory needed to read each archive where possible.

OutputFormat: This option controls how long file and link names should be written.
TarFormat: A fully resolved tar format.
TypeFlag: Type flags for TarHeader.

tarConverter → const Converter<SynchronousTarEntry, List<int>>: A synchronous encoder for in-memory tar files.
tarWriter → const StreamTransformer<TarEntry, List<int>>: A stream transformer writing tar entries as byte streams.

tarConverterWith({OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.pax}) → Converter<SynchronousTarEntry, List<int>>: A synchronous encoder for in-memory tar files, with custom encoding options.
tarWriterWith({OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.pax}) → StreamTransformer<TarEntry, List<int>>: Creates a stream transformer writing tar entries as byte streams, with custom encoding options.
tarWritingSink(StreamSink<List<int>> output, {OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.pax}) → StreamSink<TarEntry>: Create a sink emitting encoded tar files to the output sink.

TarException: An exception indicating that there was an issue parsing a .tar file.
