"minitar" is a minimal example of a program that uses libarchive to
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
read/write various archive formats. It's a more ambitious version of
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
'untar.c' that includes compile-time options to enable/disable various
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
features, including non-tar formats, archive creation, and automatic
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
decompression support.

I use this as a test bed to check for "link pollution," ensuring that
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
a program using libarchive does not pull in unnecessary code.

The "minitar" program is also a good starting point for anyone who
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
wants to use libarchive for their own purposes, as it demonstrates
|
|
Packit |
08bd4c |
basic usage of the library.
