<p>Provides stream classes for reading and writing archives using
the TAR format.</p>
<p>There are many different format dialects that call themselves
TAR. The classes of this package can read and write archives in
the traditional pre-POSIX <b>ustar</b> format and support GNU
specific extensions for long filenames that GNU tar itself by
now refers to as <b>oldgnu</b>.</p>
