.SH VERSION
This man page documents version 1.2 of \fBlibtar\fP.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBth_get_*\fP() functions extract individual fields from the current
tar header associated with the \fITAR\fP handle \fIt\fP.

The \fBTH_IS*\fP() macros are used to evaluate what kind of file is
pointed to by the current tar header associated with the \fITAR\fP
handle \fIt\fP.

The \fBTH_ISLONGNAME\fP() and \fBTH_ISLONGLINK\fP() macros evaluate
whether or not the GNU extensions are used by the current tar header
associated with the \fITAR\fP handle \fIt\fP.  This is only relevant
if the \fBTAR_GNU\fP option was used when \fItar_open\fP() was called.
