returning the length skipped in a ssize_t to using off_t for both. This
does not break any A[BP]Is, since compression_skip is entirely internal
to libarchive.
If a skip request is > SSIZE_MAX, don't pass it down to the client layer
skip function, since those still uses size_t / ssize_t. Instead, just
read the data and throw it away.
With this commit, libarchive/bsdtar should now successfully skip archive
entries of >2GB on 32-bit systems, but does so slower than necessary.
The performance will improve with a future A[BP]I breaking commit which
makes client layer skip functions use off_t.

functions are required to skip the requested distance, so we can avoid
lots of bookkeeping which would otherwise be necessary.

to bring in and uses some of those selectors to define wrapper
macros and other compatibility glue.
* Correct a signed/unsigned problem that broke handling of files >2G.
* Implement "skip" support for much faster "tar -t".
Thanks to: Robert Sciuk for sending me a DVD that illustrated the first problem
* If write block size is zero, don't block at all.
This supports the unusual requirement of applications
that need "no-delay" writes.
* Expose _write_finish_entry() to give such applications more
control over write boundaries. (Normal applications do not
need this, as entries are completed automatically.)
* Correct the type of write callbacks; this is a minor API
change that does not affect the ABI.
* Correct the error handling in _write_next_header() around
completing the previous entry.
* Correct the documentation for block-size markers: Remove
docs for the long-defunct _read_set_block_size(); document
all of the write block size manipulators.

traditional shortcut of defining on-disk layouts using structures of
character arrays. Unfortunately, as recently discussed on cvs-all@,
this usage is not actually sanctioned by the standards and
specifically fails on GCC/arm (unless your data structures happen to
be "naturally aligned").
The new code defines offsets/sizes for data fields and accesses
them using explicit pointer arithmetic, instead of casting to
a structure and accessing structure fields. In particular,
the new code is now clean with WARNS=6 on arm.

minus here is actually being used as a bitwise operation, which is
unusual enough to deserve a clarifying cast.)
archive_{read,write}_open_filename():
* Update Makefile to build the files using the new name.
* Update docs to document the new names, mentioning the
old ones as "deprecated synonyms."
* The old filenames will be reconnected to the build soon;
I'll soon recyce those files for a slightly different purpose.
internal format-specific functions return the same as the public
function, so that the public API layer doesn't have to guess the
correct return value. This addresses an obscure problem that occurs
when someone tries to write more data than the size of the entry (as
indicated in the entry header). In this case, the return value from
archive_write_data() was incorrect, reflecting the requested write
rather than the amount actually written.

* Use public API, don't access struct archive directly. (People should be able to copy these into their applications as a template for custom I/O callbacks.)
* Set "skip" only for regular files. ("skip" allows the low-level library to catch attempts to add an archive to itself or extract over itself.)
* Simplify the write_open functions by just calling stat() at the beginning. Somehow, these functions had acquired some complex logic that tried to avoid the stat() call but never succeeded.

decompression layers only pass through smaller blocks. It can happen
with custom read functions that block I/O in larger blocks.
* Actually use the HAVE_<header>_H macros to conditionally include
system headers. They've been defined for a long time, but only
used in a few places. Now they're used pretty consistently
throughout.
* Fill in a lot of missing casts for conversions from void*.
Although Standard C doesn't require this, some people have been
trying to use C++ compilers with this code, and they do require it.
Bit-for-bit, the compiled object files are identical, except for
one assert() whose line number changed, so I'm pretty confident I
didn't break anything. ;-)
restore it directly and skip chmod() during the post-extract fixup.
In particular, bsdtar -xm now completely skips the post-extract fixup
for directories, which produces a noticable speedup in that case.
* Expose functions for setting the "skip file" dev/ino information
* Expose functions for setting/querying the block size on reads
* Correctly propagate errors out of archive_read_close/archive_write_close
* Update manpage with information about new functions
increases performance when extracting a single entry from a large
uncompressed archive, especially on slow devices such as USB hard
drives.
Requires a number of changes:
* New archive_read_open2() supports a 'skip' client function
* Old archive_read_open() is implemented as a wrapper now, to
continue supporting the old API/ABI.
* _read_open_fd and _read_open_file sprout new 'skip' functions.
* compression layer gets a new 'skip' operation.
* compression_none passes skip requests through to client.
* compression_{gzip,bzip2,compress} simply ignore skip requests.

clarify some of the history here. In particular,
I should explain that the 'pax' standard now owns the
'ustar' format spec.)

it's only a failure if there were actually attributes to be restored.
In particular, this fixes the problem where tar -xp always returned
a failure code on FreeBSD (which doesn't yet have all of the extended
attribute support).
Thanks to: Diego "Flameeyes" Petteno
This commit implements storing/reading POSIX.1e-style extended
attribute information in "pax" format archives. An outline of the
storage format is in the tar.5 manpage. The archive_read_extract()
function has code to restore those archives to disk for Linux; FreeBSD
implementation is forthcoming.
Many thanks to Jaakko Heinonen for finding flaws in earlier
proposals and doing the bulk of the coding in this work.
