package xyz.apollosoftware.bibliothiki.compression.formats.tar

Support for the (T)ape (AR)chive (TAR) file format.

Standalone Tape Archives are not necessarily compressed (i.e., a file ending with .tar) is normally not compressed. However, tar files are ubiquitously used as a means of compressing files by encapsulating them in a compression stream (such as GZIP .gz or XZ/LZMA .xz).

This package supports raw tar files and the compression library supports tar files wrapped in certain compression streams.
