Tim Kientzle	09cad9b550	Documentation improvements. In particular, expand and clarify the description of the client callback functions and how they should handle errors. Thanks to: Antony Dovgal	2005-01-08 19:51:04 +00:00
Ruslan Ermilov	284fcee0c0	Fixed cross-references in SEE ALSO. Emininated double space and hard sentence breaks.	2004-07-04 21:15:37 +00:00
Tim Kientzle	2710e4d1ef	Initial import of libarchive. What it is: A library for reading and writing various streaming archive formats, especially tar and cpio. Being a library, it should be easy to incorporate into pkg_* tools, sysinstall, and any other place that needs to read or write such archives. Features: * Full automatic detection of both compression and archive format. * Extensible internal architecture to make it easy to add new formats. * Support for "pax interchange format," a new POSIX-standard tar format that eliminates essentially all of the restrictions of historic formats. * BSD license Thanks to: jkh for pushing me to start this work, gordon for encouraging me to commit it, bde for answering endless style questions, and many others for feedback and encouragement. Status: Pretty good overall, though there are still a few rough edges and the library could always use more testing. Feedback eagerly solicited.	2004-02-09 23:22:54 +00:00

Initial import of libarchive.

What it is:
   A library for reading and writing various streaming archive
   formats, especially tar and cpio.  Being a library, it should
   be easy to incorporate into pkg_* tools, sysinstall, and any
   other place that needs to read or write such archives.

Features:
  * Full automatic detection of both compression and archive format.
  * Extensible internal architecture to make it easy to add new formats.
  * Support for "pax interchange format," a new POSIX-standard tar format
    that eliminates essentially all of the restrictions of historic formats.
  * BSD license

Thanks to: jkh for pushing me to start this work, gordon for
  encouraging me to commit it, bde for answering endless style
  questions, and many others for feedback and encouragement.

Status: Pretty good overall, though there are still a few rough edges and
  the library could always use more testing.  Feedback eagerly solicited.
