2003-11-05Fix tar -j supportGlenn L McGrath
Use the old fork() method of tar compression support, rather than read_bz2.... - (*uncompress)(int in, int out) seems like a more natural interface for compression code. - it might improve performance by seperating the work into one cpu bound and one io bound process. - There is extra code required to do read_[gz|bunzip] since (*uncompress)(int in, int out) will normally be used by the standalone compression applet. There have been problems with this method so if you see a "Short read" error let me know.
2003-09-12Fix handling of hardlinks when OLDGNU and GNU extensions arent enabled.Glenn L McGrath
2003-09-12Use the typeflag to identify if its a hardlink on OLD and GNU posixGlenn L McGrath
modes, fixes a bug extracting hardlinks to symlinks.
2003-09-09If a tar entry is a regualr file ending in a '/' then its really aGlenn L McGrath
directory. From http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_node/tar_123.html REGTYPE AREGTYPE These flags represent a regular file. In order to be compatible with older versions of tar, a typeflag value of AREGTYPE should be silently recognized as a regular file. New archives should be created using REGTYPE. Also, for backward compatibility, tar treats a regular file whose name ends with a slash as a directory.

complain "unknown file type" if it tries to extract an oldgnu tar file and TAR_FEATURE_OLDGNU_COMPATABILITY sint defined. Print a warning if unisupported gnu extensions are encountered.
2002-12-08Move add_to_list from libunarchive to libbb so it can be of more general use ↵Glenn L McGrath
(eg ifupdown). Changed the name to llist_add_to as i plan on adding more llist_ functions as needed (e.g. llist_free).

2002-08-22Honour the USTAR prefix field, this enables a 155 byte path length plus the ↵Glenn L McGrath
