* 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.

TODO: Need to update the documentation a little bit.
pax wasn't introduced until the 1993 (?) revision.
(I need to double-check when pax was introduced and
clarify some of the history here. In particular,
I should explain that the 'pax' standard now owns the
'ustar' format spec.)

just minor recoding to not rely on certain "standard"
facilities that weren't actually needed.)
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).

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.
routine fails or the first read fails), invoke the client close
routine immediately so the client can clean up. Also, don't store the
client pointers in this case, so that the client close routine can't
accidentally get called more than once.
A minor style fix to archive_read_open_fd.c while I'm here.

Thanks to: Andrew Turner for reporting this and suggesting a fix.
archiver for Fourth Edition through Sixth Edition Unix; it was
replaced by tar in Seventh Edition. (First Edition through
Third Edition used "tap.")
Unfortunately, tp was not so very standard; there were a
few different variants. The code here attempts to support
what I believe were the most common variants.
tp support is not yet enabled by archive_read_support_format_all(),
as I'm not yet entirely comfortable with the detection
heuristics. People interested in experimenting can
add archive_read_support_format_tp() just after any calls
to archive_read_support_format_all() in bsdtar to see how
well this works.
TODO: tp format is roughly similar in structure to dump/restore
archive formats used by many systems. It should be possible
to generalize this code to handle many dump/restore variants.
Format detection heuristics are going to be rough, though.
Thanks to: Warren Toomey, whose very basic tp extraction programs
and documentation made this possible.
libarchive doesn't make malloc(0) requests, so the autoconf
checks aren't needed and the autoconf workarounds for
broken malloc(0) just create problems.

2) Overhaul the versioning logic. In particular,
SHLIB_MAJOR number is now computed as "major+minor",
which ensures library versions are the same for
the FreeBSD build system and the portable
libtool/autoconf/automake build system.
link names, usernames, or group names that contain
non-ASCII characters.
In particular, this corrects an inconsistency reported
by Ed Maste when archiving symlinks with odd characters:
long symlinks would get preserved, short ones would
be changed.
"HEADER" unless the open is successful. Instead, leave the state as
"NEW." In particular, if archive_read_open() fails, a subsequent call
to archive_read_next_header() will now cause an explicit assertion
failure instead of a silent segmentation fault.
This may need a little more work to fully realize the intention: If
archive_read_open() fails, you should be able to call it again on the
same archive handle to open a different archive (or the same archive
using a different mechanism).
(wchar_t is defined in stddef.h, and only two files need more than that.)
Portability: Since the wchar requirements are really quite modest,
it's easy to define basic replacements for wcslen, wcscmp, wcscpy,
etc, for use on systems that lack <wchar.h>. In particular, this allows
libarchive to be used on older OpenBSD systems.
extracted from tar archives. Otherwise, converting tar archives to
cpio format (with "bsdtar -cf out.cpio @in.tar") convert every entry
into a hard link to a single file. This simple logic breaks hard
links, but that's better than the alternative.
