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

* 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. ;-)
* 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.

just minor recoding to not rely on certain "standard"

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.
(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.

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.

denote a directory. Unfortunately, in the presence of GNU or POSIX
extensions, this code was checking the truncated filename stored in the
regular header rather than the full filename stored in the extended
attribute. As a result, long filenames with '/' in just the right
position would trigger this check and be erroneously marked as
directories. Move the check so it only considers the full filename.
Note: the check can't simply be disabled for archives that contain
these extensions because there are some very broken archivers out
there.

Improve behavior when bzlib/zlib are missing by detecting and
issuing an error message on attempts to read gzip/bzip2 compressed
archives.
In particular, this means we can now correctly read gtar archives that
contain timestamps prior to the start of the Epoch.
Also, make the code in this area more portable. ANSI C99 headers are
not yet ubiquitous (for example, FreeBSD 4 still lacks them), so be
prepared for systems that don't have the INT64_MAX, INT64_MIN, and
UINT64_MAX macros. This version still requires int64_t and uint64_t be
defined (which can be done in archive_platform.h if necessary), but
doesn't require them to be exactly 64 bits.
Mostly, these were being used correctly even though a lot of
variables and function names were mis-named.
In the process, I found and fixed a couple of latent bugs and
added a guard against adding an archive to itself.
This change also pointed out one API deficiency: the
archive_read_data_into_XXX functions were originally defined to return
the total bytes read. This is, of course, ambiguous when dealing with
non-contiguous files. Change it to just return a status value.
distinguish files from dirs (trailing '/' indicated a dir). Since
POSIX.1-1987, this convention is no longer necessary. However, there
are current tar programs that pretend to write POSIX-compliant
archives, yet store directories as "regular files", relying on this
old filename convention to save them. <sigh> So, move the check for
this old convention so it applies to all tar archives, not just those
identified as "old."

version called the higher-level archive_read_data and
archive_read_data_skip functions, which screwed up state management of
those functions. This bit of mis-design has existed for a long time,
but became a serious issue with the recent changes to the
archive_read_data APIs, which added more internal state to the
high-level archive_read_data function. Most common symptom was a
failure to correctly read 'L' entries (long filename) from GNU-style
archives, causing the message ": Can't open: No such file or
directory" with an empty filename.

that as end-of-archive. Otherwise, a short read at this point
generates an error. This accomodates broken tar writers (such as the
one apparently in use at AT&T Labs) that don't even write a single
end-of-archive block.
Note that both star and pdtar behave this way as well.
In contrast, gtar doesn't complain in either case, and as a
result, will generate no warning for a lot of trashed archives.

the size field for a hardlink entry. Specifically, ensure that

Also, clarify the comment explaining why this is necessary and explain

a non-zero size but no body, some write a non-zero size and include
a body. To distinguish these cases, look for a valid tar header immediately
following a hardlink header with non-zero size.
The new fflags support in archive_entry supports Linux and FreeBSD
file flags and is a bit more gracious about unrecognized flag names
than strtofflags(3). This involves some minor API breakage.
The default tar format ("restricted pax") now enables pax extensions
when archiving files that have flags. In particular, copying dir
heirarchies with 'bsdtar cf - -C src . | bsdtar xpf - -C dest' now
preserves file flags. (Note the "p" on extract!)
While I'm here, fill in some additional explanation in the
archive_entry.3 manpage, fill in some missing MLINKS, mark some
overlooked internal functions 'static', and make a few minor style

High-resolution mtime/ctime/atime is not POSIX-standard, so hide

try to set ACLs even if fflag restore fails, first cut at reading
Solaris tar ACLs
Code improvement: merge gnu tar read support into main tar reader;
this eliminates a lot of duplicate code and generalizes the tar
reader to handle formats with GNU-like extensions.
Style: Makefile cleanup, eliminate 'dmalloc' references, remove 'tartype'
from archive_entry (this makes archive_entry more format-agnostic)
Thanks to: David Magda for providing Solaris tar test files
with 'star' ACL handling, though there's still a
bit more work needed in this area.
Added 'write_open_fd' and 'read_open_fd' to simplify, e.g.,
tar's u and r modes. Eliminated old 'write_open_file_position'
as a bad idea. (It required closing/reopening files to
do updates, which led to unpleasant implications.)
Various other minor fixes, API tweaks, etc.
* Disabled shared-library building, as some API breakage is
still likely. (I didn't realize it was turned on by default.) If
you have an existing /usr/lib/libarchive.so.2, I recommend deleting it.
* Pax interchange format now correctly stores and reads UTF8
for extended attributes. In particular, pax format can portably
handle arbitrarily long pathnames containing arbitrary characters.
* Library compiles cleanly at -O2, -O3, and WARNS=6 on all
FreeBSD-CURRENT platforms.
* Minor portability improvements inspired by Juergen Lock
and Greg Lewis. (Less reliance on stdint.h, isolating of
various portability-challenged constructs.)
* archive_entry transparently converts multi-byte <-> wide character
strings, allowing clients and format handlers to deal with either
one, as appropriate.
* Support for reading 'L' and 'K' entries in standard tar archives
for star compatibility.
* Recognize (but don't yet handle) ACL entries from Solaris tar.
* Pushed format-specific data for format readers down into
format-specific storage and out of library-global storage. This
should make it easier to maintain individual formats without mucking
with the core library management.
* Documentation updates to track the above changes.
* Updates to tar.5 to correct a few mistakes and add some additional
information about GNU tar and Solaris tar formats.
Notes:
* The basic 'tar' reader is getting more general; there's not much
point in keeping the 'gnutar' reader separate. Merging the two
would lose a bunch of duplicate code.
* The libc ACL support is looking increasingly inadequate for my needs
here. I might need to assemble some fairly significant code for
parsing and building ACLs. <sigh>
Portability: Thanks to Juergen Lock, libarchive now compiles cleanly
on Linux. Along the way, I cleaned up a lot of error return codes and
reorganized some code to simplify conditional compilation of certain
sections.
Bug fixes:
* pax format now actually stores filenames that are 101-154
characters long.
* pax format now allows newline characters in extended attributes
(this fixes a long-standing bug in ACL handling)
* mtime/atime are now restored for directories
* directory list is now sorted prior to fix-up to permit
correct restore of non-writable dir heirarchies
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.
